Aussie EV Autocross Special
Hi everyone,
I have been competing in grass roots motorsport since 2005. But recently I built myself an Electric Vehicle (EV) from the ground up.
Engine: Advanced DC FB1 4001
Exhaust: None
Suspension: Home grown
Wheels: Various (some Bob Jane specials and some Simons)
Modifications: Everything from the ground up
Stereo Audio / Visual: None
Estimated Power: Power is not huge at around 75 KW but the torque is 440nm from 0 revs.
I know its not the usual ride you would expect to see here. I have built this car specifically for khanacross events. It weighs 530kg. Most of the running gear is from an N13 pulsar. It is front wheel drive and still has all 5 forward gears.
I also use it for Motorkhana and hill climbs but it is most suited to Khanacross. The batteries are from a Holden Volt. They give 7kwh of power starting at 170v dc and a peak of about 500amps. The motor controller is a Zeva also capable of 1000amps.
Here are a few videos from the latest event (Motorkhana) The car is OK at Motorkhana but is much better suited to Khanacross due to the size and wheelbase.

The car has progressed a fair way. I managed to place 3rd outright in Round 2 of the Queensland Motorkhana Championship.
It is now using a Zeva 1000amp controller. The weaknesses are the rear suspension geometry, width and steering speed.
I am continuing to compete in this car until the end of the year when I will use many of the components in my new car.
My next event is a khanacross at Lakeside hosted by the Lotus club August 27. I am really looking forward to that.
Here are a few more videos from the last event:

Yes, that is was hinting with the "body language" comment previously, that he has the fight mode on. But at the same time, let's not underestimate Ogier. He can keep tires in good shape and make a...
