[QUOTE="typed by ben, post: 346720, member: 11717"] things have been moving slowly but steadily over the past month. 1. i moved onto the 3rd generation of my foot pedal recess. the previous location put it really close to the front deck bulkhead, which made it cramped and left literally NO room for the TM strain relief. i ended up moving a cross member so i could have more room for the recess. this new one is made from .125 6061. its 4" deep and puts the top of the pedal just above the deck. it also leaves room at the front of the weldment for my TM plug to be hidden away. its a nice upgrade in those 3 facets as previous generations were shallower, smaller, poorly located, and less than ideal material.

[ATTACH type="full" alt="20140329_114956.jpg"]61816._xfImport[/ATTACH] 3. one of my uncles by marriage builds electric cars as a hobby. he is in the process of changing his pet project over to lipo batteries , and a few days back he messaged me on facebook to see if i wanted an old 4 bank battery charger. i said "sure" but was a little concerned of his asking price because what he was offering is a top of the line charger. his asking price: FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hot dog! this is normally a $450 charger.[ATTACH type="full" alt="20140329_115044.jpg"]61818._xfImport[/ATTACH] more to come!
