  2. hi rich love what you are doing . if you are willing to sign an nda i would love to talk to you about a concept we are working on here in canada that will allow your mini to run perpetually with no need to hot swap batteries ever . the concept is in its infancy and with your experience to be quite honest i would value your opinion greatly. cheers and keep up the great work

  3. Awesome build. Definitely something I want to do in the future with a Subaru, since Subaru barely has a hybrid and it sucks. Side question: Since its an around town car, what plans, if any, do you have for heat and AC?

  4. Rich, the Zilla can auto switch from series to parallel depending on draw. The famous white zombie does this to get more top end speed. Im guessing they had more kit, but that's what I remember they said about their setup.

  5. Rich! You have to put the wood under the frame of the trailer on the back (on the ground). You have to have enough so it supports the trailer and prevents it from squatting to far. That way it keeps a low angle from the ramp to the "beaver tail" portion of the trailer (sloped part). That would have helped keep the bumper from hitting.

    Of course you would probably have a less interesting video if you did…and you are getting payed for it apparently, so maybe I'm the one that needs to learn how to do it.
