Hi Karl,
Any ideas how much will this cost?  What sort of price range? I might be getting a new C5 if I could get it going at 25mph  ::)
Thanks
Mark

We're still working on the costing, but first we want to make sure it works.

No point haggling for discount with our suppliers only to find we have to alter things later.

You will have to try the Terry Tibbs method if you're going to haggle Karl  :D

just  thought here Karl, if it is successful quantity produced = price reduced. so  might be well worth you 'pushing' them outside of the C5 community, like to other battery vehicle producers.

(but perhaps not Toyota  ;D).

Hi Karl,
me being curious and overly impatient (just like everyone else  ::)), have you set the reduction ratio to be near the same as the original gear box?

is it likely some time in the further future (and with obvious sales strength) to have one more suited to the more powerful 24/36 volt powered C5's? perhaps with a set of different sized internal cogs made available?

Voodoo has had a transplant !!  ;D







All looking good so far, just a little bit of wiring to tidy up and refit the motor cooling fan.

The kit was simple to fit, even I managed it despite just finishing a run of early shifts and feeling a bit tired (alarm goes off at 03:30am :o)

Sounds corny I know, but the excitement of taking the next step in this project meant I couldn't rest until it was fitted to Voodoo !

Having built "challenger", and now this gearbox kit, I have to say ElectricDave is a genius  8) :)
