I Got the Power!


Even though my motor is not due for another 2 or 3 weeks, I went ahead and got the traction batteries yesterday. I could have gotten these last, but having them on hand now will help me with designing & building the battery racks and battery connecting hardware. I picked all 1700 pounds of them up locally. As I was driving home with my truck's front wheels in the air, I could feel the effects of all of that weight on the handling of the truck. I was afraid to get on the freeway so I drove most of the way home on surface streets. I was seriously wondering how the duster would drive with all of that weight. Scary!
