As Niel explains his Son’s project…
The Kart’s frame came with frame, tires and steering mechanism. It was originally designed for gas motor so we had to do a lot of planning to organize the electric parts in their proper places. The body was purchased in March 2011 and we had it running by around June/July 2011 time frame. We are using 2 Gell batteries (24V) to run the motor. A third battery is being used to run the 12volt accessories like stereo/CD player, GPS, fan, and headlights.
