Everything is almost in place

This is what the front hood looks like with almost everything in place (well almost). At a glance you can see the controller (alltrax axe 7245) , maxwell ultracapacitor module (165F,48V) , 12V auxilliary battery for the headlights.. etc and also most importantly to enable the contactors. I am particularly happy with being able to install the vacuum pump and the vacuum tank for the brake system. the vibrations due to poor mounting of the pump is still a problem though.



 The rear compartment is  completely taken over by HEAVY trojan 220ah batteries ; 8 of them, totaling almost 240Kg!!! these are cheaper of course and we decided to experiment with these first before getting some lithium ( any sponsors?)
