    Ron is my brother in-law. I've known him for over 47 years and can attest he is hard working, wicked smart (mechanically and financially) and very meticulous in all that his does. He is curious by nature and not afraid of challenges; he doesn't settle for things for what they are, rather for what they could be. I'm not at all surprised he was the first to successfully install a Telsa motor into a RZR. Given he is also quite the character, he would be a great content partner with Dave Sparks.

    Ron's Enthusiasm and creativity is infectious! He was like a kid in a candy store when you guys cut that battery tray out and then used the break to form all the sides. He is 100% dedicated to making this happen which is awesome to see. Hopefully kids will watch and get interested in creating objects based on thoughts & dreams! Anything is possible!!

    I love how he also was talking about the battery box being in a T formation, so the four batteries that are not going to be in a straight line from front to back are going to be side to side where the backseats would be that’s gonna be weight distribution to the back tires I’m thinking could this thing when it’s finished take on sxsblog and there 2jp

    Love this build! So glad to see Sparks take on their first EV build. I'm leery about using the stock controller though. They can be finickity if you don't have everything perfect. An aftermarket controller has a lot less parameters to be met. Just get ready to destroy everything downstream of the rotor! It's so much fun. And remember that the grandaddy of torque is the hairpin DC motor.

    • @st33ldi9ital
      @st33ldi9ital ปีที่แล้ว

      @@TheNilla2020 Realistically as far as offroading goes, EV has really good perks. Torque, descent control/braking, and quitness. You get way more torque and low speed control with EV for climbing and rocky sections. You get better control on descents from regenerative braking. And it's important to be aware of your surroundings on busy trails so being quiet is nice as well. You also get a nice CG from the weight down low and evenly distributed...
      As far as range, sure, that's the tradeoff, for now. But for a fun recreational vehicle it's plenty good nuff for an evening of fun. If you plan on longer stay I duno, bring a generator I guess.
      EV's are still in their infancy, it won't take too long before they are the norm for pretty much everything. Whether it comes from battery improvements or some other energy breakthrough, I duno. Personally, I believe batteries are just a temporary stepping stone and stop gap until on demand fuel cell generation tech takes over. One thing is clear though... combustible engines will be antiques in the next generation or two. Electric motors will replace almost everything.

    So cool. Been saying for 5 years somebody needs to build an electric Rzr. Hope Polaris is paying attention. So quiet with so much torque and power. Will be interested in how many hours running time you get. Also will it be able to rock crawl. Should be a rocket in the sand. Woulspd so like to drive that. Talented fabricators there at Sparks. Awesome video. Would give you 10 thumbs up if I could. Creativity off the charts.

  • @wjonthetrail
    @wjonthetrail ปีที่แล้ว

    I know you’re built is probably a long way in from this video release
    But here’s a idea for your battery box
    Take and make the rails you bolt the battery to
    And make it do double duty
    On the big end run those mounts full length of that section of the box and weld them in solid
    This will keep the bottom of your battery box flat
    When you slide your belly over the rocks
