As I have been saying I do a lot of volunteering events for the city, and state for emergency communications. This weekend was my second outing with the GEM as the first it did not go anywhere since I could not get it loaded. All is running well, I have a slight tick in the front end that I cannot track down and an odd vibration when I am coasting before the regen kicks in. Otherwise so far so good.

Looks nice, did you ever get the RRF motor to go faster with the T-3 Controller and MM?
