Description

PDF

These are the 3D-printed parts we used in the electric motor conversion of an old mini/micro gokart chassie. With as little modifications as possible to either the kit or the chassie.

To use this, you need hardware like bolts and nuts, and a 20x20mm square tube to attach to the rear where the battery holders are attached.

This is based on a ordinary brushless motor conversion kit, commonly found on Amazon or ebay.

Additionally to this you will need to create a metal motor mount (we used some metal plates that we drilled and bolted the motor to, clamping it to the frame), and a set of ryobi (or what you prefer but holders are made for ryobi adapters) and a set of batteries. We also added an extra button for reverse that was not included in the kit.

If you need a chain guard, i designed one for another project using the same electric kit:

Recomendation:

We had issues with smaller ryobi batteries, and since we updated with 9ah-batteries (or if you have larger capacity ones) we have hade no problems with batteries. It is very important that all four (or three) of them are eaqually charged before used in this application, so do your homework on this. 

Use these parts at your own discretion. We take no responsibility for any consequences by using them.
