Re: Motor or controller whine????
I have a kilovac coming of the 48v pack and it is also fused with a 400a slow blow fuse. The frame of the car is also ungrounded. All the grounds splice together in industrial grade explosion proof

Re: Motor or controller whine????
What is strange is that it is such an internment noise. Never really get it to do it when you try. Fun little cars. I keep a fire extinguisher in the car in case. But so far I have had no problems

Re: Motor or controller whine????
Mine seems to do this as well--It usually moves but not very well when it does so. Mine is an original contactor setup--but even with the Altrax controller, I assume you have at least one contactor
