ThunderStruck Motors

Employee Spotlight goes out to Steven for developing a new version of our VC1 battery management system for Valence U27-12XP batteries. These are highly sought after for DIY projects. The new version has a more robust design as well as a wider input voltage.

Check out this super cool MR2! If you think fitting batteries into your small car is problematic, our customer fit 4 Bolt modules and our charging system for an end package of 144v which he says is faster than a Fiat 500E and good for around 50 miles of range. This would suit me just fine!

What could YOU use use a leaf motor in? We've already got one in a RWD Miata with the transmission, and in a FWD Geo, using the original leaf reduction/ differential. This video shows a customer using our VCU to control the leaf inverter. https://youtu.be/RSwrIUY3qTI

One nice thing about EV components is they're so modular you can make almost anything electric! This one is using an HPEVS AC-31 motor (older style, similar to AC-35).

Here's a POV cam of a 32kw Kart kit on a customer's kart.

Many of us are working from home due to a shelter in place order in Sonoma County. Please contact us via email for any questions, and before ordering on our cart so we can determine when we are able to ship. Thanks!

She fits! But into what exactly is this Leaf motor installed? Hmmm, doesn't look front wheel drive...

What?! https://youtu.be/3Sf5eANviQA One of our employees wasn’t exactly thrilled about posting his half finished project but we were so happy with how much mid-range torque it has in such a small 48v package we thought you would all like to see. This uses a Curtis 350amp controller and Nissan Leaf modules.

Don't want to wait for the electric Harley? Build your own! This one is from a customer in Sweden using a 144v AC-20 and our TSM charger and BMS. Geared for 100 mph!

Hey, it's our Dilithium BMS Display mounted on the craziest dashboard we've seen in a while. Check out @racingmech to see the vehicle it's being used in. You won't be disappointed!

Notice anything odd about this Nighthawk turned EV? This one is using an AC-20 geared for 80mph.

Our friend Seth at Amped Classics stopped by yesterday to show us his Alfa using a HyPer9 motor system at 144v. Very nice work!

Who's familiar with the Citroen 2CV? One of our customers is bringing new life to them using our Leaf VCU. (view with Chrome so the page can be translated) https://www.nrc.nl///17/eindelijk-kan-hij-inhalen-a3963892

Come visit us this Thursday through Sunday at the Pacific Sail and Power Boat Show in Richmond CA at booth G16. This is our 6th year at this show!

Customer Spotlight! Federico uses our Budget Screamer kit in a shifter kart at an event at the Buenos Aires Race Track that got a lot of attention. He's now hoping to establish an entire class of electric kart racing there. Good Luck Federico! P.S. be sure to follow us on instagram for more customer vehicles, builds, parts and contraptions!
