The project is to put an ME1616 electric motor into a lightest car like the Daihatsu CUORE.
For this first test of the motor, 4 cheap batteries were used and everthing is OK !
The next step is to build-out engine of CUORE, and see how to fit the electric motor.

After the extraction of the combustion engine, the car is a bit light on the front and a bit heavy on the back.
It's time to think about fixing and coupling the ME1616 electric motor to the car's gearbox.
