Morning BEF

a question for you electrical geniuses...

I know golf carts have a limiter for speed. I don't want to go fast, though I have friends that had to buy a new cart because they were embarrassed by little old ladies flying by them.
I'd like more climbing power. Can electric motors be "hopped up" even a little like car engines? If one were to increase amp draw by several amps, which may or may not be currently adjustable, and was willing to give up battery life to do so, how does one do that? Club Car precedent 48V, 6 batteries.
I guess I should search youtube videos for this, likely some motorhead has hopped up his golf cart by now.

I'm aware that more heat can be very destructive to electronics.
let's say I'm trying to overclock this chip a little.

maybe....higher rear end ratio, say like going from a 3.10 to a 4.11. Hmmm, does it even have that?

Drew I'm sure it can be done. Checkout John's electric ride. He's a forklift mechanic.

they are just very grown up golf carts....

fun video. Like a drill on steroids

if I can change gearing on this cart, assuming it's not direct drive, since I don't want higher speeds, seems
like a good solution with no fiddling with motor. With my bad neck, I can't handle a lot of sharp bounces so I'm not going fast anyway.
I need to be able to climb hills though. This cart is clearly not designed for that.

62° now highs in the mid 80’s cloudy this afternoon dew point 58°

Truck passed state inspection for another year. Time to think about cost to fix rust or replace truck, certainly won’t be inexpensive either way.

Quick trip for some groceries this morning, take the rest of day as it comes.

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

Finally getting some "normal" summer weather here. 80 in the late afternoons - 50 in the late night/early AM. AND it not raining EVERY day now. For a while there - I thought we had moved WEST of the Cascades.

70 outside this AM. Heading to just under 90. The humidity has been bad these past few days. I tolerate it well though, better than being cold.

Wagtail, you mentioned critters and when they see you....I find it interesting while mowing around my koi-less pond that I can get right up to the edge and observe turtles and frogs. However, if I attempt to walk up to it, they all go diving in the water feet before I get close.

More on critters, seems the fox pups are now roaming and hunting on their own...they leave their dropping most everywhere. I hear my neighbor working on his chicken enclosure like every other day. Lots of feathers and bones on my side of the woods. LOL.

Have not gotten back to the Milk House project, too much other stuff going on. Maybe this weekend I can get some electric strung and get a side refinished with vinyl. Looks like Sunday might be the day as Saturday is shaping up to be an all day rain event.

Hope all are on the mends, get and/or stay healthy. Be safe. Be safe in your travels too. TGIF.

maybe they associate the vibration of mower as something safe, having never eaten them before. Doesn't trigger fight or flight.
But Riptides you do. You are the mighty fisherman coming to eat them. Or maybe their version of a T-Rex. Clearly they fear us.

anything that creates shadows probably spooks them, like a predator flying above.

Good news Thomas.
