Has everything but batteries so it could be good for any testing. ---

Dave: Not saying this Guy will flake. But why do you think most people that say they will test end up being a FLAKE? I have personally helped many people here and lots of times people never even come back to say thanks or post a pic or give ya any feedback? ---

Yeh, I just got burned on one. I thought maybe the car could be sold or lent to me for testing. ---

Harvested the doors and I will probably take the back window for my other E6. Yeah it fully ran. Will likely put a lithium battery in it and use it to teach the kids to drive. But figured I have some free time so if it’s helpful to offer up for testing to the group so I could also learn more about the options out there and get to know you guys more. ---

> [@eltakeiteasy](#): > > know happy to help out on trying things out as a guinea pig. @Inwo where did you leave off with the pmac testing? I still have the one I bought off you back in the COVID days but never got around to playing with. Would be happy to lend it to @eltakeiteasy if he wants to pick this up. Would be cool to see an e6 with a pmac ---

> where did you leave off with the pmac testing? Weren’t you guys (local neighbor project) the last ones playing with PMAC install? I didn’t really hear the final report other than SD just couldn’t get it to work right, and went to the 8kwAC motor. I think the main problem was the top RPM limit/overheat issue (being only 5kRPM). So this swap also needs a gear change. [Next page](https://community.electricforum.com/t/2018-e6-as-test-car/30012.md?page=2)
