Project: front battery mount.

So here's the plan, going to run a cable from the front battery tray to under the center console/mid battery cover that way I can retain the stock battery use for trail riding, but then can remove the stock battery and install the front battery for "crawl mode" or just leave both batteries in for super trail range. After so many comments about it, im going to see what the difference is for myself. Im pretty interested to bring it back to some places that I have trouble with. Hopefully going to order the batteries this week. I made the battery template to the size of the hoovo battery, it seems like it will fit without issue.... we shall see 🤷‍♂️

Here we go 🙄

I've waited long enough for a 30 trailer to come out and it's not happening, so here we go. I think i finally found a frame/ base that I can build off of. Going to look for some more materials tomorrow. Not sure if I'm going with single or dual wheels. Probably wood floor, going to look for some different wheels/ tires🤷‍♂️

On the bench

Just wanted to take some pictures while it's down pouring outside, again🙄 ordered a belt drive setup, going to try it out for a season, or throw it in the trash if it sucks, I just want to try eliminating gear to gear and see what's up🤷‍♂️

Rub check

Added brass hex and wheel adaptors to the trx4 and the offset changed 2mm, so just wanted to do a flex check and make sure i didn't pick up and tire/body contact. Everything seems good to go! My favorite thing about this rig is the articulation, so I had to take some pictures of the new stance🤣👍

Brass hubs and adapters

Finally added the last bit of weight to the wheel setup. Ordered 3 different adapters as the center hole in the meus wheels is 12mm and they sell the adapters in 2 different sizes. The 12.2mm are too big and don't fit the wheels. Each wheel and tire are coming in at 291g so that's pretty good. Between these and the front battery change, I'm interested to see how thing this does with these changes👍
