Should see it with our new traction control system on. 2.7sec 0-60 but has now been turned down to 3.5sec 0-60 as is dangerous.

That's amazing work... is it possible to get a list of the enhancements you've introduced in your version?

Yep no problem.

So we have brake light activation based on regen amount, traction control which can be adjusted with our canbus controller, integration with our custom display hardware, plug and play junction boxes with looms, all systems are fully tested with hv, cleaned like new and any bearings replaced with fresh oil.

In the phase 2 video it's mentioned that the LDU is mounted backwards. Any idea on how they resolved the oil pump issue in the gear box?

Sorry for the delayed response... it's been mentioned elsewhere but if you haven't seen it Zero EV make a replacement oil pump for the LDU (here) 8-)
