Comments on: The Beast has arrived. http://www.ohmbre.org/blog/2006/01/06/the-beast-has-arrived/ an unusual story of a boy and his truck Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:59:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Chris Robison http://www.ohmbre.org/blog/2006/01/06/the-beast-has-arrived/#comment-19 Sun, 08 Jan 2006 15:45:31 +0000 http://www.ohmbre.org/blog/2006/01/06/the-beast-has-arrived/#comment-19 Dave, Thanks for your comments! I hope that this website inspires at least one poor schmuck -- eh, I mean intrepid car-hacker, to do an EV conversion. Mine is pretty unusual though, it's a heck of a lot easier to start smaller than this. I'm only going this far out on a limb because I've assisted with three conversions already, and so I'm familiar with a lot of the basic stuff. Dave,

There are six terminals on the side of the motor; you'll notice A1 and A2 on the commutator end, and S1 - S4 on the drive end for the split field. S1-S2 make one field coil, S3-S4 make the other. In the "first test" pictures, I wired them in series and put 12V through the whole thing. I'm about to leave a post on that subject, and the heater. Hey Jim, thanks for stopping by!

I noticed you have a 5 studded motor. can't make out the terminal numbers. Do you have a two speed motor or are one of those terminals for a sensor or such Cya Jim Husted Hi-Torque Electric Hey Chris

I see the beast has arrived, how exciting (did I miss a recieved post?). You almost have a motor that needs a car designed around it, lol. If you get around to ever pulling the CE band snap a pic or two for me of the comm and brushes. You are a true pillar of the EV community and I wanted to take this opportunity to verbilize that to you here. Best of luck finishing up. Dont let that motor sit to long now.
