The rubber isolated motor mount assembly welded in place. One piece of the rear motor cradle is now mounted as well with bolts in holes tapped in the frame steel. It's nice to actually have the motors bolted in. Electrical work should be proceeding shortly.

A shot of one of our wheel hubs, just back from the Machinist.

Another look at the wheel hubs, this one attached to a motor and half of the two piece wheel.

The entire drive system setup all bolted together. One of the things we like about this configuration is that it can be removed as an entire unit if so desired. This will be nice in times where we need to repair or replace the system. Will also be handy when it comes time to ship the parts to the competition.

A look at the rear motor cradle in place. We'll add a couple more stiffening plates, but this give a good idea of what it will look like.

All the pieces more or less in place as it stands today. The batteries are sitting on the unfinished lexan battery tray. You can really see it coming together now. We're now only a speed controller and some wire away from drive testing.

Here is a good shot of our setup now that we've received our Vantec for drive testing. Once we had everything hooked up and bench tested, it was just a matter of minutes before we were driving it up and down the street.

A closeup shot of the master cutoff switch. When finished, it will be covered by the lexan armor and a closeable door.

The Vantec RDFR36E in its temporary location for testing. We've decided to use high quality 8 and 12 gauge wiring with crimped and soldered connectors for all connections. It seems to have worked well as all the wires have remained perfectly cold during our testing exercises.
