Well, I am past the initial get on the rode phase with this truck. I live close to John Wayland and I've always envisioned this as my version of Blue Meanie. Something I hold onto over the years that goes through several transformations until it is everything I always wanted it to be... so I am probably going to hold out until I can afford a Zilla which hopefully will not be to long. It's tempting to just replace it right away with something that will get me back on the road... but I should just put the controller in there that I really want. It's not a done deal yet though. I am in touch with the Synkromotive guys as well since they are local. I'm going to go take a ride in their test truck and see what I think about their controller, but it is only a few hundred cheaper than the Zilla 1K low voltage model that I am eyeballing... I did recently redo the interior which I am quite pleased with, so getting the right controller in there will be one more step forward. Nex t up will be lithium batteries. No firm plans after that, but I would imagine I will put a larger motor in some day, and perhaps an air ride system... by then it will be time to repaint again etc.. etc... etc... I seriously considered getting out of the DIY scene and just buying a Leaf or something, but then I started working on and driving my truck again and I realized it is a lot more too me than just an eco friendly mode of transportation :) No, not far from home at all, just 6 feet out of my driveway LOL! I backed it out into the cul-de-sac to shuffle cars around and when I hopped back in I didn't use the clutch, just tapped the accelerator real quick and that was the end.
