Swing low...




Packaging the electric front-drive system will be a challenge. This works (8 or 9" diameter motor) but raises the center of gravity. Probably still much lower than a gas engine would be up there though. Most of the mass is inside the axle center lines, and concentrated on the longitudinal axis.


I'm going to build a couple over-the-top resonators with these Supertrapp cans, to help tune the sound of the turbo four. Two of them will allow me to use enough baffling but still have the area of a 3-4" pipe that the big turbo will need. I'm looking for a European exhaust note.
