00:00You know, the secret to electronics is that they're all filled with magic smoke.
00:10You just have to keep it inside.
00:12Actually, that is true.
00:14My client bought this car, already converted, and he wasn't happy with how fast it was going.
00:18The guys who converted it thought that setting it up to drag race would make it a faster car,
00:24thinking that that would be the highest performance.
00:26But it's not that drivable at that point.
00:28I'm guessing that it had to be the controller.
00:31You lift that, I'm going to slip this under.
00:33I have a policy, and I need to stick to it, and that's always test the easy things first.
00:37Because there was a moment when I thought, yeah, we'll try the pedal, we'll try a bunch of different things.
00:41One possibility is the problem might be the controller.
00:44So I'm going to move the controls from the trunk up to the front where they should be.
00:47Feels like I'm under it.
00:48I'm going to swap you for the snips, snips.
00:55We have like a thousand others, and we just picked this one.
00:58I grabbed the worst ones.
00:59Worst case scenario is that the issue is not the controller.
01:03That would be bad.
01:04The thing that I always worry about is safety.
01:09Because, you know, if you build a car with 400 volts and a thousand amps, I mean, that's a lot of power.
01:15These are systems that are tough to work on safely.
01:18This amount of voltage and amps could shock you to death if you don't know what you're doing.
01:22Well, she's in.
01:24Okay.
01:27Then let's hook up the main battery.
01:29Oh, the pack.
01:30Yeah, yeah.
01:31The pack.
01:32So in order, we'll go pack.
01:33Uh-huh.
01:34Then charger.
01:36And we'll get a nice cack out of that.
01:38Yep.
01:38And then we'll hook up the 12.
01:39And then we'll hook up the 12.
