Hi John, I have another concern with mounting the batteries on the same
frame as the motor. I prefer to mount the batteries directly to the truck
frame, because the rubber engine mounts will allow the electric motor to
torque every time you start. This movement will be transmitted to the
batteries. As I read your original question, the air gap will not change
due this movement but the batteries will be moving all the time. I am not a
battery guy but I don't like the idea of the batteries being subjected to
the drive line movements.
So I would re-mount the batteries with a separate frame, and at the same
time increase the air gap between the batteries and the motor terminal.
That's my 2 volts worth, Jerry Wagner

<<<< Another question is; it takes forever for mail to arrive back whenever
I start a new topic. When replying it seems normal.
For instance; I emailed a message last night and it still has not arrived????
Is there something I am doing wrong?
I wonder how long it will take this message to arrive...>>>>
Between hitting 'send' and seeing my latest post in the archives took
less than 5 seconds, so the 'mailman' system is working pretty fast
internally. I only read email online (keeps down mail traffic), so
it's possible to see posts before they even end up in listees' inboxes.
