I got her done in time with a little room to spare.  Nothing to fancy but she’s pretty stout and should make a fun project for someone.   This motor started out life as a 7.5 ”,  36 volt Crown drive motor and weighs about 80 lbs.  The drive end (DE) plate is square and a little funky but I found it’ll bolt right to an Advance FB1 9″ DE plate.  This motor would probably do a light car conversion but feel it would shine as a MC motor and in fact have a twin going to Florida here soon for that purpose.  I’ve advanced the timing for both directions and she’s set for a CCWDE rotation right now.  people planning on a lower more OEM voltage like 48 volts (maybe even up to 72 volts) would probably want to reset the position back to neutral.  Anyway come on out to PIR in Portland this Friday and Saturday night and help support NEDRA and buy a raffle ticket and maybe you’ll bring home a sweet little motor. 

I did talk to Brain Hall who agreed that if you buy a ticket Friday and can’t make it to Saturdays EVent that you do not need to be present to win.  I am willing to freight it out but the winner will have to pay freight if not picked up at the race.  I didn’t have time to take to many pics but have it against an ADC 9″ on one for size.  They can be seen in the nationals album 1/2 way down on page two, or just click here.
