Mo's Electric Corvette-Update-3 pictures
I decided to start a new thread on the updates on the car. Rather than have folks go through another 12 pages.
So the latest updates I pulled the ADC FB1-4001A out and put in the new Netgain 11HV motor.
On disassembling the motor I found the coupler was moving around on the shaft even though I had a bolt running into the end shaft...
Out with the old 9" motor
Out of the box!
Size comparison of the two motors...
Coupler on
Flywheel on
Cluth / pressure plate
Breaking in the brushes and checking balance and runout of the flywheel assy.
Bellhousing on, and ready to drop in.
Looking for home.
Final bolting in and adding the speed sensor.
Close up of the speed sensor
Zilla and charger in place and wired up.
another view.
Enjoy!

Gosh, that electric engine is intimidating. How much did you pay for that?

Thanks for the compliments guys!
Once I get the brushes broke in I will be able push it some.
As I mentioned in the other post this motor is capable of 540 HP LOL but my batteries will only support around 455 HP ( not figuring in battery sag) however from 0- about 3200 rpms the torque is in the neighborhood of about 600 ft /lbs
I will have to slowly amp it up until I get a feel how the transmission is going to handle the torque HEH
I wil post some videos on you tube soon, I do have some up already with the little 9" motor.

MO

That is simply amazing what a motor that small can do. Keep us posted

Mo you must be laughing....all these threads about spending money dealing with parts that dont fit in the quest to get 3-400 hp.
You merely lift that sucker out and drop in a bigger one, done. +100lbs tq
Something like that.

Yes Sir! and funny thing we did the complete swap in under 3 hours a few weeks ago started at like 10 AM and had her bolted in around 1:30.
The only fluid I had to deal with was the coolant for the controller.
OH and no SMOG test to deal with LOL
Now to see if the ZF6 can handle the torque HEH
Thanks!

Electric motors are huge torque right from the get go. I would imagine the biggest challenge in the quarter mile will be getting it to hook up. I see melted rear tires in the crystal ball

Absolutely love the concept! Wondering if GM, or BP, has approached you to "buy the idea, etc" so they can store it away (i.e. HIDE IT) so they can continue to sell gasoline (engines.) And I'm envious of your obvious mechanical/engineering skills! Looking forward to the next chapter.
