Re: The Rusty S10

Hey. Honestly from factory it should be pretty good but I will have to see. So far my biggest concern is that the flang on the hub won’t catch all the bolts. Just curious with your adapters is there any adjustments that needs to be made to make sure everything is lined up or can you pretty much bolt ...

Re: The Rusty S10

Here is what I am thinking for mounting plate. I work at a truck shop and I found a damaged aluminum wheel hub in the recycling bin. I am thinking to get rid of my belhousing all together and replace it with that. What do you people think?

Re: The Rusty S10

Working on getting an adapter mocked up. I was thinking of buying the set up from Brat Ind however the money I have to spend on the project is a bit tight. I was able to find some scrap aluminum around my work place and I am going to see what I can make.

Re: The Rusty S10

Anything to look for as far as Chevy Bolt batteries or model 3 batteries? Year? Size? Chemistry?

Re: The Rusty S10

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. It is good to know the Volt is not a great option. I definitely get that longer range would be nice. I have already been thinking about making a 500km drive with it once’s it is mobile but not sure if I can make it work with the charging that is available.

Re: The Rusty S10

I have definitely considered the i3 pack. I think it would be awesome to do like Jonny 5 did with his Hilux and just put it between the frame rails under the bed. Such a clean build! Honestly the biggest reason i don’t go that way is price and availability. I think I found a volt battery for $700 ...

Re: The Rusty S10

I think it would fit but I am not sure. A full stack was my original idea however the motor I am getting does not come with the PDM. Also it already has a drop in board openinverter board. It may end up costing just as much but right now I am planning on running a different brand of charger. Do you ...
