Projects

Below are projects planned by club members as tech talk / build guides. Some are scheduled and will have pertinent date information, cost, etc. Others are not yet scheduled but are in planning stages and will contain all information available at the current time. And lastly, we will include past completed projects with pictures to keep as a record and also to hopefully spur more successful projects in the future.

Hi everyone. It seems that there is enough interest in the battery project to move forward. The price would be $300 this will get you a 24AH lithium iron phosphate battery with case, battery management system, and Anderson power pole output. We would be tentatively looking into building them in 2-3 months depending on shipping and parts arrival. As it gets closer we will try to arrange a date that works with everyone. I will keep you all informed on the progress of things.

We still need a minimum of 10 people to sign up for the project, if we do not get the required amount of people I will just refund the money the end of November. Please still spread the word, as we would like to have as many people as possible!
