Could it be you made that alu part 'cause that's what's in the single picture of Joel Johnson's proto-type mid motered ultima?

and to correct : brushed moters are sensitive to reversing. First of all you need to physically change the the timing by turning the endbell about 15 ° and secondly you need to true the collector and put fresh brushes on if it's a moter that was run in the normal sense before, and then switch the leads , or turn the endbell 180° on top of the 15°
PS: I like how you used the mid front carriers, steering knuckles and wheels. I never understood why this wasn't a more popular mod in it days.

Thank You Mr Ed !
Yes it is me to blame for destroying a nice block of alu.....I put it up in the mill and 3 hours later it fit My Turbo Ultima Mid.
I did not know mister Joel at the time and never saw any part like this....so i will try to find a pic...or if any body on the excellent
Forum know any thing of this i will be happy.
And thanks for the motor info. I will make this beast fly soon.......2012 VINTAGE OFFROAD NATS - BRCRO - 9/14-9/16 It is not far from where i live.
Until stay warm my friend

Just to share what we discussed over PM: I guess the main reason for the aloy part would be to obtain correct caster and toe-in.

I live very far away from NYC, and even further from the event, but I'll read the tread if you make it overthere with this buggy

Yes Mr Ed.

My memory is coming back......Ooh what a buzz. Your guess is right...caster and toe-in that's why i made the part.

and Mr Joel's aluminum is different and much nicer.

This brings back memories; I have help Bo carry his pit boxes many times! He was known as the guy with the red nuclear plant; at least he needed a direct line to one for power it up. :lol:
But I’m glad that you kept your red boxes and I know watts in all those draws… :mrgreen:
