[ausev] Foxxy Lady is on the road!

[loopcat]

That makes sense Willie, last night I drove the pack down to 82v and the top speed dropped dramatically. So the range of this ev is closer to 30 miles at the moment. I've just programed the Zilla to limit the battery amp draw to 350a. I'm hoping to protect the traction pack from any damage. 

Some members from the San Antonio chapter are heading over to St Marys Uni today at 1:00p. It's 20 mile round trip. We'll see what the proformance is like with the lower settings.

Thanks for the input, John Stuart in SA..
