  1. just for the record 200amps at 96v is very dangerous so dont construct anything to heath robinson also wood is not considered as an insulator as its obviously combustabale and conductive when damp paxalin is a product often is electrical switch gear as an insulator also your 200amps at 415v or 3 phase is very different to 200amps at 96v dc good luck
  2. if there like the ones i used the cover the old broken glass type there not to good as they distorte with the differant tempratures
  3. its a black art welding as afore montioned plenty of trial and error plenty of practice my big mistake was not cleaning the surfaces properly still not very good at it mind 2 minuits of welding 20 minuits of grinding seams the norm

  5. Hmmm there was a small amount of drinking but apparently this was being addressed lots of people there though having a good time.
  6. Went to dundry pay and play yesterday and must say the new owners have made a effort to improve it with much success some good new challenges and far better catering plenty of water and a jet wash (although not working yesterday ) I am not anything to do with the site just think credit where credit is due and hopefully they can regain a good reputation keep up the good work.
  7. i know you have mentioned your wheels being ok but when you tried them on the other truck were they in the same place cos i had the same prob rendered my vehicle useless but found the wheels were buckled which with the calmination of other little problems due to normal wear it became a big one check the steering box is really tight and all brackets/supports are also tight if any of the wheels required lots of weights to balance them put them on the rear and the best ones on the front thankfully solved my prob which almost ended in me selling it cos i thought there was no hope
  8. try to either view some pics of a seperated engine and gear box or check a haynes manual or similar as there are som difficult to find bolts at the top otherwise you may have a vacume between the engine and box causing them to stick together so maybe a carefull bit of prizing and hard shaking may help due to both parts being oily bits a cant see that they would have corroded together so i recone you must have missed a bolt
