mnstang Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 That's actually pretty bad ass to have an electric crate motor, they'll sell a bunch, people will put them in anything! Cool. Wonder if they'll sell batteries too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. Wonder if they'll sell batteries too? GM has one as well. https://www.motortrend.com/features/project-x-57-chevy-ev-conversion/ Obviously F7 was me joking around, but it does make me wonder if in time you could take an older sled, rip out the engine and fuel tank and replace it with an electric motor and battery pack. Snowmobile power train is very uncomplicated, unlike a car or truck. Being a bike guy, you might find this build interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstang Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Nothing is stopping a guy with basic fab skills from putting electric in a sled right now if they want to. I've ridden an Alta, pretty cool, different with no clutch, plenty of power! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I recall of the Taiga drivetrain it was the motor with a belt to the driven shaft and the brake mounted to the driven. So, no clutches, jackshaft or chaincase. I'm sure the manufacturers are already tinkering. Was the Atlas also odd without a shifter? How long can they go between charges? I find it all rather intriguing as that's the direction motorsports seems to be headed. Caught this yesterday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it all rather intriguing as that's the direction motorsports seems to be headed. Caught this yesterday... No shifting wasn't too bad. But I apply power alot with the clutch and so it was foreign to me just using the throttle, I was definitely not as smooth because of that. I didn't ride it for a battery cycle but I think it can go an hour or so depending on everything. Definitely not doing a 2 hour race with one. I think with a sled it'd be pretty easy. No clutches or jackshaft, all that bullshit. You could have a simple connection direct to the track shaft, maybe with a chain or belt so you could still change gearing. Maybe put a freewheel in there so you don't have crazy motor breaking. Or that can be minimized with electric tuning also. There's lots of potential I think. Put the battery at the back or on tunnel for weight distribution. I'd doubt they'd need a cooling system, they could probably air cool it I'd think.

Thing needs a 428cj not a roomba Then that fucker will hop a coke can on the street with uniroyal tiger paws….. 🙄 Still makes me laugh when people praise huge cubic inch slugs that most modern 4 cylinders would absolutely smoke. Especially after having my hands in 2 428CJ projects. That being said electric powered is not for me at least at this time. I feel it just lacks the soul of an internal combustion engine. BUT the shit they do with them is seriously impressive and the power on demand is something we can all appreciate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks obama Ls swap it with a junk yard motor and Chinese turbos like everyone on YouTube does. It’s the correct thing to do as YouTube says so.
