Get a bigger motor …
Get a bigger motor or a smaller donor. That 6″ is just 2 small for that dodge. It will run *hot* at 120v and use 2 many amps
An 8″ will just work. a 9er would be better. Netgain has a few 8″ ADC in stock.

We just fixed the …
We just fixed the brake line this weekend, now we’ll be able to tow/drive it to our fabricator. Then he’ll be installing battery racks, and the rest is basically wiring. I’ve recieved my 2/0 cable, I ordered a cable crimper (hammer style) and some other parts off ebay. I basically have everything, it just needs to start going in once we get the batteries in.

I’ve got everything …
I’ve got everything installed except my chargers, my charging port, and the cooling fans (computer fans) for my controller. It was a bummer, because when it was all hooked up and I was ready to go for a test drive, nothing happened, and I eventually figured out that the controller was bad! How far are you now?

So, where were you …
So, where were you when I was looking to buy a motor? You didn’t start preaching until after Norm and I both bought our motors.. what do you expect us to do, sell an unused motor at a used price? I don’t think so! Plus, I wasn’t about to pay twice as much for a motor that I don’t need. I live nowhere close to freeways, so I never have to go over 60. I drive sensibly, so the motor isn’t going to get hot. Honestly. I DO NOT NEED A 9″ MOTOR! And I also don’t need your negative comments.
