Having received our wires, we were able to rig up a decent 24V system to give our kart a test ride. Normally, we plan to operate on a 36V system. The kart's top speed should be increased by 50% once we complete all of the controller electronics and wiring.
We brought the kart out to a middle school track to test it out. Since we still don't have brakes and are missing several lock collars for the rear axle, we really tried to take it easy on the kart. It was also a bit difficult to control the kart's speed with our improvised (copper pipe) throttle.
