New+Design+Proposal

[]

I stopped by pep boys this Friday and i saw this vehicle and i had the idea that we should use this for our electric car....it already has mechanical brakes acceleration and brake pedals along with lights seatbelts so that it can be used for various competitions if we modify it for what we would like.

as you can see from the second picture there is a lot of room for batteries on the back and we can also modify the seats in order to have one seat and to fit more batteries on the passenger side...that way the weight will be distributed evenly

we will need to convert it to an electric motor just like we would with the project that we are doing now...so it’s not much different

there is still quite a bit of work to do....i noticed that the springs were soft and had a lot of travel...we might need to replace them with stiffer springs/shocks to compensate for the weight of the batteries

I will try to contact people to see if we can get a discounted price for this vehicle or possibly for free.... or just the frame.. Anything will help. In exchange for advertisement or some other incentives for the benefit of the company. If we do not get anything or this vehicle is not that expensive... Brand new its less than $2000 and I’m sure if we have to we can find a used on eBay, craigslist....ect... or a cheaper vehicle if need be. ( most likely it will be less than a the cheapest used pick-up truck we can get)

This vehicle is also very light at 450lbs I lifted the front off the ground easily...this means less batteries, smaller motor, faster speeds, longer run times, The Pick-up Truck must weigh around 2 tons, we will need a much larger motor and more batteries to move it....all our budget will go into the motor and the batteries....if we stick to the new project we can make something that actually looks good, and that we can show off.

It’s not to late...we haven’t made any big decisions any proposals or purchases we can always do this new idea which i myself think is better for all the reasons above.... I have my vote anyone with me on this??? **(write comments below. With name)** **ps.** We can ride the shit out of it b4 we work on it and after...we can also go and make a whole new idea of OFF ROAD ELECTRIC VEHICLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (wordd lol) **(write comments below. With name)** Specs:

COMMENTS Dan: Hey Enver unless you guys had a meeting friday and decided to change plans we were going to build a street legal car for the drag races. If you guys decided something different let me know because we need to get our shit in line to go before the SGA ASAP. The only problem i see with this idea is the lack of battery space and Shetukde I believe wants a competition to enter and I am not sure if there is one for this.

Enver: I found some compititions on here NEDRA [] can anyone help im having a tough time finding any races at all

Dan: That link is for cars and motorcycles there is no class for the go kart. I think its a lost cause to find a race for it. Plus it would only take a month or two to convert it. We need a bigger project than that.
