I thought you were going to say you produced an industry leading watercraft, but duct tape shoes are cool too.

Here's a few things I've been working on. I'll keep this all jet ski related although I have all kinds of other stuff.

Needed some F/A adapters for my carbs. Also needs primer adapter fittings to replace the choke shaft. Whipped these up




Here the aluminum handlepole and chin pad I made for my
Kawi

- guess this is the only crappy Picture I have.

Found this old honda electric gokart on Friday. Stripped it Saturday and put in an industrial motor, 150 amp controller, and 48volts of power.

Difference is:
stock 0-18 in 3 seconds with 100lb rider 18mph max speed. @2500rpm
Now 0-24 in 2 seconds with 220lb rider 24mph max speed. @3600rpm Will be getting a larger sprocket and a 5th battery for 60v soon and will max out around 40mph @4500rpm

Edit: Also plan on cutting her in half and extending it around 8-10" or so.

Original motor vs Industrial motor

Hose clamps and jetski shims for the perfect fit.

Put batteries anywhere they will fit. The plastics/fairings will cover them up when I am done.

Edit #2: If anyone has or knows where to get a cheap plastic/fiberglass kart seat let me know! This plastic one is already cracking from the the extra g's on take off.. =/

Love it!!! Subbed

I didn't see this thread but I'll play. Today I spent mostly visiting customers. Gathering more tools. Cleaning shop and re organizing to make what I'm doing more efficient. And some work I've done the last week.

 

[Scraggly]

If my tools get here in time I'll be sighting in a ww2 rifle. And try to get some pics.

The test run @ 48v. Will have 60v soon and possibly a much larger motor in the works. When lipo's drop significantly in price I will do a stand up.

I have a 3hp 90 volt unit out of our old treadmill if you think you wanna go bigger.

I need that!

Mario kart. Start throwing banana peels at the neighbors.

I guess it's only 2 HP and it's 130 VDC. I do have a second 2HP motor that is 90 VDC but I fried the controller for it.

Dc motors? I have controller that is adjustable. Currently running 1.5hp can go up to 3 with my controls.

 

[Scraggly]

Sorry guess I didn't read close enough. All I have to do is make an adapter plate and adjust my control board. Simple turns of dials and I can upgrade. I need more torque.

 

[OCD Solutions]

The 2HP, 90 Volt motor you can have. I was planning on putting the 130Volt one on ebay to recoup some of the costs of the new treadmill though.

I bought a 2HP 3PH motor and a Teco frequency drive that are slated to go into my Mil so I can achieve 8000 RPM. Once completed, that will free up the 1HP DC motor that it came with.

Between the Lathe, Mill and test bench, I have a wall of TECO frequency drives so I'm ditching all the DC stuff now.

I'll gladly take it! Still not positive it will work but from the research I've done said best route was a dc treadmill motor and adapter plate. I'm 1.5 hp now but I want to have a back up plan in case mine just dies.

Btw started burning you some software yesterday. Hope it's all done soon. Trade?

 

[OCD Solutions]

I'll send you pics of the mounting options tomorrow and see if you want to bother with it still. I originally had it driving my test bench until I fried the controller.

If you wanna trade for the software I'll send you both motor setups and still be in your debt. Can't wait to start drawing!
