The 30 Cell, 96v, 100Ah battery pack that I listed in the original post weighs 221 lbs. Attempting a hybrid (generator with fuel supply, battery pack and electric motor) increases the weight, the amount of room needed and the complexity of the system with more parts and more opportunity for...

Sorry, it seemed like the best fit :D

Thanks for the rep! Should be an interesting build :)

Great idea :thumbup:

Shreveport mentioned that he might have a line on an R6 frame.

All right the eFZ6 Build Thread is posted up here: http://www.fz6-forum.com/forum/rc-section/41129-efz6-build-thread.html let the madness begin!

If there is friction, or any other force acting on it for that matter, it will eventually stop :(

You always find the coolest videos to post up, thank you :rockon:

Ok, a few of you have expressed an interest in attempting a forum build of an electric powered FZ6. With that in mind I am posting up this thread to recruit team members with expertise and/or resources, as well as track the progress of the build. Shreveport1 will be doing the build and will be...

I like it :thumbup:

KISS, Keep it Simple Stupid :BLAA: I will post up an eFZ6 Build Thread tomorrow.

I was thinking belt drive as well :D, not sure if we should go with a clutch or clutchless, the electric motor behaves much differently than a petrol motor does. One of the benefits of a clutchless CVT is that the electric motor would maintain an optimal RPM for efficiency. Definitely one of the...

I have been checking those out, I really like the one Protean Electric developed, but I think they run like $30,000 each right now. I am worried about the size, I figured on at least a 40kWh motor and I really like the idea of the CVT Set up, might be able to salvage one off of a Bergman if it...

We won't have to recruit, like you said, 'That guy' will just show up. You already know I'm in :D, I know how I am going to get to this as an individual, Where/How do we start as a forum? If we move forward the eFZ6 has to perform at least as well as the petrol FZ6 in every category except...

Nice, I have the same one sitting in my shed for the last year as well, you may have motivated me to get off my butt and mount it up :thumbup:

No, no facebook or anyother social media, I'm from an older generation :). This forum is my main internet social place.

Nice, looks like we are starting to develop the dream team: Jblk:Machinist ChevyFazer: Metalurgical Specialist jtarkany: Glorified Gopher and assistant handyman lonesoldier: Spiritual Guidance, Comic Relief and Crash Test Dummy...er..a...Crash Test Officer :rolleyes: Recruitment still...

I am building it, the petrol version in my concept picture will be done within the next 18 months or so (probably being optimistic) all I have left is mounting the new exhaust, installing the R6 swingarm with all that will entail, and bobbing the tail. Then I will be seriously setting my...

Unfortunately they are both at my nightmare price, approximately $45,000 each. Not saying they are necessarily overpriced given their unique nature, just beyond my meager means :( This is the petrol powered X132 Hellcat from Confederate Motors in Alabama, USofA: Confederate Motorcycles | X132...

That is very cool and unique. A very nice rendition of a machine gun exhaust without being tacky, way to go :thumbup:
