I don't have a pic of that yet but here's a link to the manufacturer's page:
Alltrax AXE Products Page
Probably more informative than just a picture anyway. Mine is the AXE 4845.

Like the motor adjusting bolts(thats what i asume they are,good idea).

Yes that's right, I basically copied the adjustment setup that was on the T-20. I toyed with the idea of using a tensioner sprocket, which would have allowed me to mount the motor further forward on top of the T-20, but felt it would make it a bit more complicated and add a little more drag. (In case anyone is wondering, without a tensioner the recommendation is to have no more than a 60 degree angle between the center line of 2 sprockets to prevent chain slap, hence mounting the motor further back.) I really couldn't have moved it much more forward anyway as I'd end up sitting on it

Looking good so far

Keep up the good work, and once ready, you know we want to see some video of this electric beast climbing the Gorge!

Getting closer.
Battery racks back in for the final time, (I hope).

Ugly home made trailer hitch. Someday I might learn to make a nice bead



If I can pick up some ring connectors I might actually have this thing moving after work today!!!!

It LIVES!!!
Worked perfectly as soon as I hooked up the last connection. Seems to be performing as planned, I was able to go right up my steep hill without having to get a run at it and I even dragged up 3 small logs as a test. Doesn't feel as if it wants to tip over backwards either, though it might on something even steeper. Top speed feels like it's around 20 as expected, I'll have to check it with a GPS or I might use the bike speedometer idea. Hopefully I'll get some videos soon. Still need some work to make it waterproof so no float test for a little while.
Thanks to everyone here for all the help
