electric cars for kids 8 image
Nick C
There is a book called electricity for fuel that sells for like $70 bucks online and they claim that it will show you an easy way to convert any car to electric on a $600 budget. Sounds like BS to me. Anybody know anything about this?
Answer
Sure but not for 600. Batteries are not that bad if you import like I did. 20 sets of li-ions with shipping from china for 7000 that's 350 a set. so far I built 2 getting ready to built 2 more for the kids as soon as they realize you can't convert a hummer 2, weight is an issue with EV's.
try here the have everything you need plus books and video's for a reasonable price.

I have 2 I built myself, 1 is an 87 Omni the wife's grocery getter, It's a single speed with a top end about 70mph but most efficient at 35. Mine is an 86 Fiero, I built it as a performance car, it has twin Solectra AC55 motors and controllers each run through 5 speed Getrag transaxils. The rear is the Fiero's the front however came from a Cavalier RS. The Fiero does the 1/4 mile in 9.9 seconds about 6 times on a full charge. And I could probably get that down to low 9's or even upper 8's when I change the training gears and adjust ratio's.
both of these cars are good weather only, spring summer and fall. there is no longer a heater or ac. still has wipers for rain but that's all. Rack and pinion - power stearing was stripped down and rebuilt to manual now. no power anything. they both where around 2600# when I started and after stripping them down, some welding for battery cradles and building back up as an EV there now around 2100# which is still a little heavy for an EV to have good range. I know for a fact the omni can go 103 miles on a charge and still had some left over.

What is the best slot car racing set?
Steve P
Want to get a electric slot car racing track set for my boys (ages 8 & 12) as a holiday gift. I see Carrera, AFX, etc. Which is the best (funnest)? I had one as a kid but don't remember the brand. Any recommendation is appreciated. Thanks.
