> [@RS\_E6](#): > > Have you guys done any tests with AC motors on stock batteries? Would be awesome if you can hit 40+ regardless of gearing, tires and battery setup. I have not, I was about to but then a guy wanted all my AC parts so out the door it went before I could test on lead. ---

I’m open to being a guinea pig here on an e6. My next upgrades were motor and gearbox in addition to the lithium change I have in flight with @LithiumGods - might as well make some Additional changes ahead of summer. Let me know what you have in mind. I’m game. ---

That would be great. @LithiumGods may have interest. I will pm some prices, but we are kind of at the mercy of @MikeKC, as he has actually done a classic Gem. As far as the parts go, a motor, controller, adapter pcb, and phase cables to motor should be all you need. Mike may build a board for someone. It’s labor intensive, and I would need $250 for it. The E6 may or may not be a good candidate for the low cost S4 controller. I believe it is fine, but that’s one of the things we need to find out. If using the smaller controller, it might be best to lighten the lead load first. ---

> [@Inwo](#): > > I will pm some prices, but we are kind of at the mercy of @MikeKC, as he has actually done a classic Gem. I am happy to assist in any way needed. I have done three classic’s so far. I would even fly down and help for a couple days if the COR-19 goes away before you do it. But even so, it’s not very hard at all especially with the PCB that Dave developed, basically plug and play. Using a Size4 in and E4 I think could work. The E6 original T4 controller was only 350 amps so there should be no reason the Size 4 could not work now that we have a really good config file for it (Zone). @cbepps - I think you would love it, you can run 8K RPM’s all day and the motor just gets warm. @LithiumGods - you can call or PM me for details ---

They must not weigh much so if I get them overnight can you do that ---

Another question you might help me with when I put the extra battery in line on an AGM E6 would I put it at the very end ---
