Programming to make use of 90V Ford Think

The owners had to complain before the Ford dealers were able to change the motors, controllers and chargers. They were TSB’s not recalls.

Makes sure the speed sensor ground is good as this will fry the speed sensor.

Definitely switch the motor and controller. You should get 35 mph with the 6hp motor and D2 controller.

Thank you.

Anybody, have any thoughts on the second Think build?

35 is plenty fast for our usage so stock motor and D2 would work OK but I only have 1 6HP motor and it looks like it’s going on to the first car. Maybe take that $800.00 and put it towards an AC system? Best just to stay DC?

AC is the way I would be leaning if I had to buy a motor and controller. It would be a lot more work though.

As far as removing the cluster?

I think I have seen some AC motors that will bolt up to my gear box.

If you go with AC than removing the cluster shouldn’t be a big deal. Several people have talked about converting a Think to AC but I’m not sure if anyone has actually done it yet. The only real obstacle is getting a motor to fit.

I was looking at this one.

I haven’t went to far with it yet.

I have 2 x 10kw Think style motors coming in next month and a think to use as a test mule next week.
Probably 50 peak hp. 9k rpm.
It fits the correct Grazy gearbox. Question is if it’s short enough.
I’ll post my progress.

Need one :point_up:

Have you tried the Pmac ?

I’m curious as well. How is this project going?

You will need to change transmission to use other than Graz motors.

I have a couple :wink: I’ll see if anyone fits
