Vehicle	2005 BRM 125cc Racing Kart Originally a BRM with Rotax 125cc engine- I sold the ICE engine and started the swap slowly over a year

Controller	Kelly KDH09500A 96 Volt (120MAX) 500 Amp 10 second- 400 Amp 5 minutes- will most probably be exchanged for a KDH12800 (800 Amp 120 Volt)
Batteries	280 A123 Systems M1- 3.30 Volt- LiFe PO4 cell 30 C continious- 60 C for 30 second. The pack is divided in 3 pack of 80 cell 10S8P for a total of 30S8P- this will probably be upgraded to 40S8P this summer!

Heater	you dont need one when you get soo much adrenaline rush!
DC/DC Converter	AC/DC LCD switching powersupply I took out the AC front end- and left only the DC to DC parts- good from 60 Volt up to 300 Volt DC!
Instrumentation	Cycle Analyst large screen version in custom enclosure. (very nice unit- I recommend it to everyone)
Top Speed	100 MPH (160 KPH) With the 40 tooth sprocket on the motor- I expect 120 MPH with more A123 cell (80 more) to get to 132 volt nominal.
Acceleration	Very quick...but will be quicker with a Kelly KDH12800...I will upgrade very soon!
