Yes, a swaybar is like a spring to transfer spring rate from one side's spring side to the other side's spring. A swaybar lowers the cornering weight transfer that happens on that axle which helps resist sway but lowers grip as the stiffness goes up compared to the other axle. It keeps the weight ...

The Sol-Ark becomes "the grid" in an outage and the microinverters help support it on the generator input / aux input. The grid disconnect switch likely would keep the system and microinverters producing in an outage.
I don't have the experience with this but it seems the US inverter options are ...

I've been eyeing a Sol-Ark for a few years. Is your inverter new enough that you can add another in parallel or add microinverters on the switched input/output of you wanted to?

VESC is similar to open inverter but for small motors. People use them on skateboards, scooters, and some have been converted to run cars. It's open source and requires anyone selling one to not use the vesc name which makes them challenging to find.

I've used 2x "FLIPSKY 75100 Pro V2.0 75V 100A ...

I wasn't aware of your local fabrication limitations. Do you order from JLCPCB? They do CNC machining pretty affordably. If you get both sides correct, pump and transmission i could use those and make you a step file or 2.

An esc is about speed. A vesc can be programmed for torque, speed, or have ...

You could add an oval pocket for the oil flow. Or you could drill on an angle to connect the 2. It complicates it but you could do a double stack plate with the oval port between them. And flush head bolts are your friend for things like this.

You could also consider a vesc to run the dead pump ...

Might be gummed up jets from ethanol. Try some Berryman B-12 Chemtool Fuel System and Injection Cleaner in it if you can find it. Kreen & seafoam could work too. Spark plugs can also struggle to light off high load mixtures (eroded / partially fouled) so worth swapping that too if you haven't.

You ...

This is what I was thinking. Getting the bar as far away as comfortable for longest link length gives you better angularity on the link (orange). I drew over the upper control arm upper rear rod which makes it confusing looking. My intent was under ...

The bearing constraints look to be fixed for whatever reason. I'd focus on those. Maybe draw a concentric ring, set as polyurethane then fix the poly? Or fix the od of the poly?

The bushings look reasonably spaced but will be worse with the arms bent out.

I think you need to bend the arms out. If ...

I second the higher voltage if you're going above 60v.

I wonder if the Hyundai HSG (hybrid starter generator) would work well for something like this. It's water cooled and is belt drive so you could gear it with the serpentine belt to whatever ratio you need. It has a really beefy tensioner. I ...

Like below projects?

I'm not sure where it would fit best. Maybe things like this just belong in general/projects.
My thought was a section for offroad / racing would help people find things on the forum easier. Maybe this belongs in EV Topics? Not sure.

There are some conversions that would ...

Thanks for the video link, very interesting.

Between this, Zieg's car, and a few others I think it's time to consider a racing and off-road section.

Very cool. Do you have a build thread for this?
I'm really interested in the quick swap battery / safety inspection details if you're willing to share. And no rush, I understand how these long weekends are.

The video helps a bunch. Some thoughts after watching it:

Can you mount the bar inside the frame? Limits arm length though if that's already an issue.

The upper ball joint looks ideal to use for the link point if you can mount to it / if the upper ball joint can deal with added force in the ...

I'm not sure how it will do if you try to skip the hardening process / material. Maybe this is light enough to not be a big deal but I'd expect it to go soft over time. Maybe in 5 turns, maybe 10,000. Not sure you were thinking this way.

The 3/4 bore heim sounds good but it will be sensitive to ...

This would be a perfect candidate for the clamp style swaybar adjusters. Instead of forming the bar ends they stay round. The clamp is like a motorcycle fork clamp with one bolt to clamp to the bar and the other to attach the end link. This gives you a lot of adjustment on the bar. Depending on your ...

Do you have room on the ambulance roof for solar? There are some cheaper inverters that should be able to give you the 220v like a Deye. You could add batteries to the system too.

Fred Puhn has a pretty simple swaybars calculator equation if you want to see what the different dimensions do.

CVs are usually good for running at high angles as they do in fwd. How much angle do you think they will have at their normal ride height?

On top of Tom's ask, is it a single cardan joint? What's the angle it's running at?

It's more about how the suspension moves with the tire. https://youtu.be/HeclLbsRHbc?si=HL6F0YbLNGV2NRv9
Moving one pivot point will mess with the camber gain, anti lift, and anti squat, at least a little. I think some F1 teams have designed their suspension so they can move 1 pivot without ...

And it may be worth adding in a positioning sensor on the brake pedal to activate regen. This way the regen won't be trail braking on you.
The regen setting will also change your brake bias. When you adjust one you likely will have to adjust the other.

Edit 3, you may be able to look at suspension ...

I don't know the fitment answer. Nissan may have used the same diff in the note/ leaf but a replacement diff may have clearance issues based on it's shape / size.

Most diffs won't be reversible but the cusco diff looks modular and may be able to be put together backwards. They will likely have at ...

Not yet. I've been busy at work and haven't had time to work through a few bugs.

Limited slips come in different flavors. Moist people's focus is on acceleration but there is usually a decel aspect as well. You'll often see a 1.5 if it's a clutch pack style lsd. This is 100% limited slip forward and .5 (50%) in decel. They have different cams to give different % as well as ...

How harsh is the bottoming you mention? When the suspension bottoms hard that bottomed spring rate goes infinite which can cause snap steer and other suspension gremlins. My suggestion would be to raise the rear 1/4 to 1/2 to make sure you have enough travel and raise the front 1/8 to 1/4 more than ...
