The Fine Print (eBook)
"No other modern country gives corporations the unfettered power found in America to gouge customers, shortchange workers, and erect barriers to fair play. A big reason is that so little of the news . . . addresses the private, government-approved mechanisms by which price gouging is employed to redistribute income upward."
You are being systematically exploited by powerful corporations every day. These companies squeeze their trusting customers for every last cent, risk their retirement funds, and endanger their lives. And they do it all legally. How? It's all in the fine print.
David Cay Johnston, the bestselling author of Perfectly Legal and Free Lunch, is famous for exposing the perfidies of our biggest institutions. Now he turns his attention to the ways huge corporations hide sneaky stipulations in just about every contract, often with government permission.
Johnston has been known to whip out a utility bill and explain line by line what all that mumbo jumbo actually means (and it doesn't mean anything good, unless you happen to be the utility company). Within all that jargon, disclosed in accordance with all legal requirements, lie the tools these companies use to rob you blind. Even worse is what's missing—all the contractually binding clauses that companies hide elsewhere yet still enforce and abuse. Consider, for example, how:
Johnston shares solutions you can use to fight back against the hundreds of obscure fees and taxes that line the pockets of big corporations, and to help end these devious practices once and for all.
About the Author
David Cay Johnston is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who wrote for the New York Times for thirteen years. He lives in Rochester, New York.
Praise for The Fine Print…
"If you enjoy learning about the dirty little secrets behind the ways powerful businesses make their profits, you probably will like this book."

Th is book will force you to take a long hard look at the problems you have always had, and are currently experiencing and offer you simple difficult solutions to the common complex problems of life.
An illness that I suffered with for many years is one I refer to as terminal uniqueness. Please notice that I used the word with, not from. This is because it was an illness that I chose. I use the word terminal because this illness is nothing less than the equivalent of any stage four disease that can last for decades, or a lifetime.
What does terminal uniqueness sound like? What does terminal uniqueness look like?
Here are some examples of what it may sound like:
"You don't know what life is like for me."
"If you had to deal with my life, you would be this way too."
"That may work out great for you but not for me."
I'm too <fill in the blank> to be able to do that."
"You don't know what I have been through."
"I had a terrible childhood."
The list could go on for pages and pages, but I am sure you get the point.
Terminal uniqueness looks like any one of us, and it looked just like me for many years.
I have used every one of those lines at some point in my life, but I no longer allow myself to do so. It doesn't mean that I don't have those thoughts run through my mind. I have bad days just the same as you. The difference is that I choose not to speak them, empower them, or act on them.
Please know that I do not make light of any of the situations that you may have gone through in your life. Horrible experiences are real, and the pain is real. What I want to point out is that working through the pain and suffering is one thing, but to be defined by it is another. It is my hope that you will never be defined by the wrongs done to you but that you will be defined by the positive way you choose to live your life—here, now, in the present moment only.
The truth that I have come to find for myself is that I am not unique. For each and every situation I have lived through, many others have too. It became a personal obsession in my life to find those who had lived through these same "not so unique" experiences and uncover the secret to coming out on the other side stronger, and doing so with dignity. I added the phrase "doing so with dignity" because there is a big difference between getting through something by kicking, screaming, blaming, and yelling versus keeping calm, taking responsibility, and having faith. Getting through hard times and not owing anyone an apology once all is said and done is what I am speaking of.
It is in the seeking that I find the answers, yet that alone has afforded me nothing in the way of change. It takes knowledge followed by action and faith to "get to" where the others are currently, which is where I said that I wanted to be. Right? Right!
The other nugget of wisdom that comes with seeking out those who have suffered as I have is that I quickly find that many people have stories that make my story look like a walk in the park. This turns my complaints into gratitude and hope, both of which are priceless.
I am not unique (even though my mom still tells me I am), and you are not unique, which is yet another reason that this is "your life" written by me.
Seek the answers, face the facts, make a plan, and execute with the faith and hope necessary to succeed. Remember, your life is a fairy tale to many of the suffering people in this world.
Some years ago, I began to do my best to seek out and surround myself with what I believed to be successful people. Each person had his or her own story and own level of success, so I played close attention to all of the details, in search of as many similarities as I could find.
The one common thread that could not be argued was that all were avid readers. That is the first part. The second and more important finding about their reading habits is that none of them read fiction materials, or if they did, it represented 2 to 5 percent of their libraries. Another similarity is that they watched very little television and definitely no reality shows. No judgment here—I'm just saying.
I made myself a promise that I too would read the authors who were placing lifetimes of knowledge into a couple hundred pages, and I would not just read them but would look at each as if it were a textbook for life. I was told this great analogy years ago, and I want to share it with you: If you come eat apple pie at my house and find that it is the best apple pie that you have ever had, you will ask me for the recipe, and I will give it to you. You could then easily go to the store, buy the ingredients, and cook the exact same pie. But if you added anything or took anything away, you would not end up with the best pie in the world, which you have the recipe for.
I bring this up to make a point about the importance of following directions. When I pick up a book to learn how to do something or I ask someone advice on how they achieved a certain task, I always have three options of what to execute after I gain the knowledge that the person or the book has provided:
1. I can take the recipe, which was successful, and execute the exact same plan.
2. I can use some of the person's plan mixed with some of my plan.
3. I can use none of the person's plan.
More often than not, the best way to achieve the task in question is to use the plan that has worked. This was a hard lesson for me to learn, but the older I get, the more I find that reinventing the wheel is not a great plan! After I go to a source for answers, it is in my best interest to at least start out with the blueprint that has already worked and make small adjustments as I go.
Here are some of the many nagging questions that I used to carry around in my head:
Is there more to life than this?
When will things change for the better?
Isn't there an easier way?
Can dreams come true for a person like me?
Why am I walking around so angry?
Why am I so scared?
How come I am in turmoil with so many people?
How come I am never satisfied?
How come that idiot is rich and I'm not?
As will be the modus operandi with all of the lists that follow, it could go on for page after page and each of us would be asking different questions. The problem is that none of these questions are answered in common textbooks. The required information can be thoroughly researched only by finding those people who have answered these questions for themselves. In my first attempt, I did the next best common-sense thing: I went to the book store and started building my research library.
I love to share knowledge with people, so after I would read a great book, I would give it away in hopes that the recipient too could gain some insight from the material. The lesson that I learned from this behavior is twofold: if a book I buy is worth finishing, it is worth keeping as a research book; and second, we are able to receive a message only when we are ready, and when that time comes, we take action.
You see, it takes effort to get in your car, spend your money, and obtain a book that someone recommends, and this effort is the first step to gaining the knowledge held within those pages. My giving books away did very little for those I gave them to, for they had to put no effort into gaining the knowledge, which usually meant that it was simply a kind gesture to them and a trip back to the bookstore for me, plus more money from my wallet spent on the same book for the second and third time. So I have made it a rule to only suggest books, not give them away. I do make exceptions in extenuating circumstances, but they are rare.
My thirst for knowledge in answering all of the questions that I pondered had begun, and it continues to this very day. It is my intention to never quench the thirst for knowledge that is rooted deeply in my soul.
Your questions may be exactly the same as mine, or they may be totally different, and that is OK because between all the bookstores and the Internet, you will find the answers you seek once you decide to do the legwork.
I could go on and on about all of the books that I have read, but that would not be the most efficient use of either of our time. I will be referencing many of them as I continue to write; as I said before, this was all someone else's material before it was mine.
I encourage you to write your list of questions and become devoted to the effort required to read the books or have the conversations that will give you the education that few choose to attain. Go ahead. I dare you!
Before you read the next sentence, please humor me and close your eyes, clear your head, and become open-minded.
What if at least 95 percent of what you have been taught all of your life is wrong?
I don't mean wrong in the sense that you will automatically think of. I use the word not in a judgmental sense but in the sense that it could all be wrong for you personally, wrong for this day and age, and wrong for this exact moment in your present circumstances.
This is something I had to face and deal with in order to begin growing into the person I wanted to be instead of the person I was told I was supposed to be.
This is an extremely hard pill to swallow for most of us, but once you really look at it from an objective point of view, you can tap into the truth. And as cliché as it may sound, it will set you free.
The thing about wrong is that it is such a relative term. During Prohibition, people could be sentenced to prison for doing what many of us do on a regular basis. What is legal in Amsterdam will get you thrown in jail in many other countries. What was legally justified by the Rules Of Engagement in combat, would get men put on death row in the peace time. The point is that wrong is a very relative and subjective term.
So what do I mean when I say that everything we have ever learned could be wrong? Very simply put, if I have not sought my own truth about a certain person, place, organization, institution, presidential candidate, country, ethnicity, period of history, who or what God is, and the like, then it is a fact that I am operating and relying on what others tell and teach me. I am seeing the world through their eyes. It is my experience that the bulk of our population lacks the wherewithal to seek individual truth. We want to be told how to feel, how to think, who to vote for, why things are bad, and who is to blame, and when we choose to behave like this, we place the burden of responsibility on "them" when, chances are, we don't know much about "them." By the way, this mind-set enables this class of person to easily and comfortably assume the victim role, which is rocket fuel for the terminal uniqueness I spoke of and suffered with.
I realized that the only way to live freely was to make sure that every ounce of my life was grounded in a belief or point of view that I had created or agreed with through my own research. Then and only then could I take responsibility for my present circumstances and, in doing so, effect positive change in my life.
Parts of this concept were covered in the previous chapter, but its importance is so huge that I wanted to spend some more time explaining how deciding to live this way continues to improve my quality of life.
The next time you have the opportunity to spend some time with a toddler, please pay close attention to the actions they take and the manner in which they conduct their lives. You will quickly see several things:
They need only the basic necessities of life to be content.
They never ask permission before trying something new.
They are in a state of shock when someone gets between them and a new desire or adventure.
They laugh with such enthusiasm that they infect all in their presence with true joy.
As always, the list could continue, but the takeaway for me is very simple: children have minds of their own, and they think for themselves. So how, when, and where does this freedom begin to erode into rigid boundaries that are held together with the fears of our parents, teachers, or society? When do we put on the yoke of fear and chains of mediocrity?
It's simple: we put those things on when we are told to by certain people who are major influences in our lives. These people are nothing short of our "gods." Their intentions are always best—according to them and from their perspectives—but what if they are only passing on a set of chains that were placed on them many years ago by their gods, who were also doing the best they could during that time, under those conditions, and in accordance with their perspectives? What if the best that they could do for us was not enough, or not what we need right now?
We so readily assign others' perceptions or opinions to the many thoughts and decisions in our lives—especially the big ones—and we choose to think for ourselves on the "little things." This takes the burden of responsibility off of our backs and places it on the shoulders of those who seek to "help us" or manipulate us. If they turn out to be wrong, then we can blame them; if they turn out to be right, we can take credit for the success as long as they don't find out we are frauds. To many, this is a recipe for life that they believe to be the acceptable. I say it is the mire that keeps them from becoming the people they are capable of being.
Another one of fear's many faces that keeps us from thinking for ourselves is the state of being needy. When I feel I need someone or something in order to live, I am very likely to never speak my mind (think for myself) for fear of losing what I am certain that I need. This state of needing creates a vicious cycle of fear, guilt, anger, shame, and hopelessness, all for my desire to hold onto something that, I am sure, if lost would be devastating. For example: If I lost my job, my wife, or any other person place or thing, my life would suck. I can tell you that lived life this way for many years, and it is a recipe for turmoil and sickness, both mental and physical.
When I live my life believing that my world will end without any certain person place or thing, I am destined to live in a constant state of panic and fear. For me, this panic and fear led to physical sickness. I suffered for many years with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, sleep disorder and several other ailments due to this fear and panic. I had to learn to think for myself, and come to believe that although it would be great to have some of what I desired in life, I had to become willing to loose all of it, and in coming to grips with this reality I could then begin to think for myself, and in doing so, free myself from the bondage of false fears.
Desire anything you want in this world, but never be in need of it, for if you do, you will surely go without, and going without, you will live a lifetime of disappointment and resentment.
It is common for folks to say that they have high moral standards and that they will always make the right decisions in life. How many times have we all sworn that we would not listen to the masses and what they have to say about what we should think or how we should act?
How many times in my life have I wished that I had the courage to "do the right thing"? Thousands! How many times did I feel my gut churning as I made poor decisions based on what "they" said? Thousands!
Why is it that the old adage "Hard right over the easy wrong" was so true in my life?
Simply put, I was not comfortable standing tall all alone. Please notice that I inserted the word tall, not leaving just alone. The implications of the word tall are huge. This implies that we not only choose to go against the grain or do the right thing and make the hard choice but that we do this with confidence and zero regret. It is easy to do the right thing and then mope, talking about how boring it made things, how the world should reward us for our grand deeds, or how much fun everyone else is having.

Life changing
I read this book from cover to cover in one sitting and still thirst for more. The obstacles that Scot has overcome and his passion for helping others is truly awesome. I highly recommend this book to anyone that has looked at their problems and not been able to solve them. Scot takes the reader to a place where you need to examine what is really important in "Your Life" and to begin your personal growth. One quote stood out to me and hit home early on in the book. "doing so with dignity" Scot says " there is a big difference between getting through something by kicking, screaming, blaming and yelling verses keeping calm, taking responsibility and having faith. Getting through hard times and not owing an apology once all is said and done is what I am speaking of". I get it! This speaks volumes and is just a sample of the greatness in this first book by Scot. I look forward to many more!!!!!! I have given this book to my mother and wife to read and I can honestly say that you should read it too.

I've been fortunate enough in life to cross Scot's path. His unassuming presence and words of meaning and worth struck my family immediately the day we met. Scot listens with intent and never judges. I have and will continue to listen to his words carefully as they have tangible meaning. Scot is an innovator, one who actually innovates. "Your Life" does not scratch the surface of the husband father and friend Scot is. Scot's life is "Your Life" and my life. It's never easy, you will always be thrown a curveball and you have choices to make each and every day in life. Scot gives you real examples of what happens when you make the right choice and by making the right choice how profound of an impact it can have in your life. This book will speak to all as it accurately reflects the trials and tribulations of not just Scot's life but life in general. What "Your Life" taught me is that our emotions are driven through fear or love. Fear is afraid and love is brave. Fear worries and love inspires. This is "Your Life" – your choice. Scot does not just talk of what he's learned, but how he has changed because of it. This is only the beginning of what Scot will teach us, and I promise you after reading this book, you will want more. We all have a lot more to learn as life will continue to test us. I hope to continue to learn from an ordinary man, in an ordinary world with an extraordinary approach.
The world is your oyster my friend! I'm looking forward to watching you ride this wave of life and coaching us as you ride it. Never stop doing what you do best – talking about what you've learned. Thank you for your words of wisdom.

Sure, going into a book title "Your Life", the average person will be skeptical. How can Scot presume to tell you what to do? But that is the whole enjoyment of reading the book, it completely changes your outlook about 'your life'. Through his experiences, Scot developed a recipe that yields results and in "Your Life" he shares the recipe with you. It unlocks the key for you to explore what you need to know to live 'your life' successfully and therefore joyfully. The recipe Scot provides is the answer your true, inner self always desired to know. Everyone wants to live a happier life, so what do you have to lose by reading this book??? Give it a try and you won't be sorry!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

This is one of the best books I have ever had the chance to read. Scot has put into words what I have always felt but have never been able to say. The title could not be more spot on and the meaning and context could not be more important. I have found myself using this book as a guide daily and am grateful it was written. This book is the only gift I will give to those I love and care about. If you are serious about taking control of your own life this book is the place to start. Thank you Scot, for having the courage and wisdom to write it.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

2 living popes to honor 2 dead ones: The Ceremony
VATICAN CITY (AP) — In a historic match-up of papacies past and present, Pope Francis and emeritus Pope Benedict XVI honored Popes John XXIII and John Paul II in the first ever canonization of two popes. For such a momentous occasion, the ritual is actually quite short and surprisingly straightforward, with the added benefit that the relics of the two new saints were presented for universal veneration by the church for the first time. Here are five points of the ceremony, which is conducted in Latin, the official language of the Catholic Church.
The preliminary part of the ceremony began with prayers, hymns and the chanting of the hypnotic Litany of Saints, the roll call of the church's saints, each one followed by the refrain "Ora pro nobis," or "Pray for us."
The head of the Vatican's saint-making office, Cardinal Angelo Amato, then asked the pope three separate times to include John XXIII and John Paul II among the saints. In the rite for beatification, there is only one such petition. The three repeated requests for canonization "signify the importance of this celebration," noted the Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi.
Pope Francis then said: "For the honor of the Blessed Trinity, the exaltation of the Catholic faith and the increase of the Christian life, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and our own, after due deliberation and frequent prayer for divine assistance, and having sought the counsel of many of our brother bishops, we declare and define Blessed John XXIII and John Paul II be saints and we enroll them among the saints, decreeing that they are to be venerated as such by the whole church. In the name of the Holy Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
Relics of the two new saints were then brought to the altar. In the case of John Paul, the same relic — his blood — used for his 2011 beatification was brought to the altar by Floribeth Mora, a Costa Rican woman whose 2011 recovery from an inoperable brain aneurism was declared the miracle needed to canonize John Paul.
For John XXIII, a small piece of skin taken after his body was exhumed for his 2000 beatification was used. Relics — the physical remains of a new saint or things he or she touched in life — are used to help the faithful venerate.
Amato then thanked Francis and asked him to draw up an official document attesting to the canonization. Francis responded "We so decree" and the rite ended with the singing of the "Gloria."
The Mass then proceeded as usual.
—The Vatican said Saturday that Francis would preside over the Mass and Benedict would celebrate together with 150 cardinals and 700 bishops. It's the first time Benedict has joined Francis in celebrating Mass in public since his resignation in 2013. Benedict attended the February ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica in which Francis installed 19 new cardinals, but as a spectator.

Chicago's new country station WEBG FM 95.5, Big 95.5 has completed its local talent lineup. Amber "Alabama" Cole (left) will be hosting afternoons and Eric Zachary (right) will be doing evenings.
As was reported here, the iHeartMedia station flipped WNUA to Country Monday, January 5 and last Friday announced the hiring of Mason Schreader and Zach "Remy Honesly who will be doing mornings and Steve Stewart as PD and midday host.
The lineup will broadcast from iHeartMedia stations in Chicago (their other stations do not) underscoring their effort in competing with WUSN FM 995 who has been doing Country in Chicago for 33 years.
Cole, who goes by "Alabama" on the air has most recenetly been music director at iHeartMedia's WNOH/Norfolk, VA. She's been there since last September. She has also worked at WJIM/Lansing, MI as promo director and afternoon host and also worked part time at WKZH/Detroit.
"Alabama is incredibly talented and fiercely competitive," Stewart said in a statement. "She not only does a great show but is also nonstop in the community and on all social media platforms. Alabama will be seen all over Chicago!"
Cole, in her excitement about her new gig, counted down the hours to the announcement of her move to Chicago no her Facebook and Twitter pages yesterday (1/12). "5 hours and I get to share the biggest news of my life ever!"; "2 hours 30 minutes! AHHHHHHHHHHH" and "Less than 30 minutes. The count down begins and I'm dying!"
Zachary is a Chicago native and graduated from Columbia College in Chicago and began as an intern at iHeartMedia Chicago working on theiar at Top 40 WKSC FM 103.5. He has been with the station since 2012. Stewart called him "one of the most energetic air talents in Chicago."
"To say that I'm ecstatic would be a severe understatement," Zachary was quoted as saying. "I've grown up in the Chicagoland area and when I first got called to be on-air at 103.5 Kiss FM, I thought nothing could ever beat that feeling. I was wrong. Not only do I have the opportunity to talk with Chicago country fans five nights a week, but I get to be a part of launching what is guaranteed to be a BIG station. The country format is one that I've grown extremely passionate about, so to be given the chance to work every day with a team of the industry's absolute best in my hometown. That is simply unreal."
The lineup Monday through Friday on Big 95.5
6 to 10 a.m.: Mason and Remy
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.: Steve Stewart
2 to 7 p.m.: Alabama
7 p.m. to midnight-Erik Zac

Driving the Car - With one gear and heaps of torque (300Nm from the twin motors) Driving is simple and effortless and the car rapidly gains speed and without a body the sensation of speed is greatly exaggerated.
The size of the motor depends on the performance you want. I have attached a graph below that you could use as a starting point, but there is also more to the performance equation e.g. top speed which is influenced by gearing and aerodynamics. Examples are for a 12 second 0-100kmh time you need a weight to power ratio of about 15.5 kg/kW and for a 6 second 0-100kmh time a weight to power ratio of 7 kg/kW. For a 500kg vehicle this equates to 32kW for a 12 sec 0-100 and 70kW for a 6 sec time. I should be able to do 12 sec with one motor or 6 sec with two motors. I am currently a bit slower than this but my gearing is too high. With lower gearing and bodywork with an average aerodynamic efficiency, I should achieve these times.
I would recommend sealed motors to prevent ingress of dust and dirt. Many of the bigger motors come with water jackets that give better cooling and allow you to run the same motor at a higher output. Air cooled motors may deliver a similar burst power, but yes cooling is important for sustained high power outputs. A more efficient motor will also heat up less and running a motor at higher voltage will also generate less heat for a given power rating because the heat generated is proportional to the current draw and a higher voltage will give a lower current draw for the same power output, however as voltage increases, higher performance insulation, controllers, switches, fuses etc are required and greater safety precautions are required for dangerous voltages.
This is a great post indeed. You probably want to try this book which shows you how to make your car run forever without recharging the battery. It really works:
I'm pretty sure that if this worked, it would be breaking one of the fundamental laws of nature, the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Suffice to say, I'm skeptical.
Hi Ganhaar, would 1 motor (this size) be enough? i.e. have you tested the output you are using, compared to the capacity of the motor?
If you were to go to one motor, what hp / kw would you use? (Anticipating load plus bodywork, in the future)
I think you said the motors are sealed, which is great for noise reduction, but any temp rise issues?
TIA, Stuart.
The only problem i see with this is the motors are not protected against dust and dirt. it could effect the motors.
very cool Itd be cool to make one of these someday. would it be possible to have energy recovery where like, you have a motor on the front wheels but not being driven, so when you accelerate and the axle spins the motor produces electricity and puts it back into the battery? or a wind turbine-esque turbo?
Use solar panels or a wind turbine on the front of it. That way, it doesnt add drag to the wheels.
NIce design.. this are a big solution, im working in a small software for a electronic diferential over raspberry pi. Congratulations from Colombia.
Update on energy efficiency.
Measured energy consumption over normal driving on gravel roads and am achieving 0.74Ah/km or 106Wh/km
so how much did this all cost?
about $15k. Major costs are batteries $150 x 45 100Ah cells = $6750 and motors (with controllers) are about $3000 each.
Wheels, hubs, brakes, steering was only $500 because I bought a damaged car for $1500 and sold off engine, gearbox and computer for $1000.
Chassis was about $400 in materials including pressing the aluminium box.
In researching further, I have a question about the bearings/mounts for the drive half shafts. Realize this car is together, but a photo would be useful. Also, type/brand of bearing you used and how its mounted might help me visualize this.
I have added a sketch to step 2 showing a section at the rear pulleys and halfshafts. I don't have a photo and don't have any plans to pull it apart in the immediate future.
The inner bearings are mounted in a steel bearing holder with a flange and four bolts. A standard bearing face mount block would be ideal, but I had a lighter steel one that I recycled from a previous project. For the outer bearing block I machined this from recycled plastic to be larger without getting too heavy for spreading the loads into the thinner wall of the chassis box.
I think they were skf metric bearings, but any standard bearings are fine. The loads on these are not high, no side loading like the wheel bearings, they are just there to hold the shaft and tension the belt.
I see. A pair of bearings for each half shaft. That makes perfect sense and is, no doubt, a very trouble free solution. Thanks for your response.
Compressed air invlolves a lot of friction, and is very lossy compared to batteries.
If you are converting a car and the original car had boosted brakes then you probably have little choice but to fit a vacuum pump for compliance with vehicle licensing requirements.

For my application and testing, the range is a lot more than required around the farm and the pack was sized more to ensure safe peak current draw than range. The advantage is the extra pack capacity gives a mobile power source around the farm.
Speed is ridiculous for farm tracks and haven't explored the upper end of the speed range, this will have to wait for track time. On the tree lined farm tracks I wouldn't go more than 100km/h or 60mph. Estimated top speed is around 160km/h or 100mph but dependent on the aerodynamics of the body as the car good low end torque geared for a top speed of 200km/h (1:3 motor to drive ratio, 6000 rpm motor speed) although it will not be able to reach speeds this high without a low drag, streamlined body.
The recharge time is about 5 minutes per 1% of charge or 8 hours for recharge from fully discharged using a 10amp 240 volt single phase battery charger. The charge rate is not linear and as the battery approaches fully charged, the charge rate drops off.
What about length of driving time? Assuming you are just doing "normal driving" (I know, impossible...), how many HOURS of driving around the farm roads before it really has to be recharged? Thank you.
