I Forge Iron

Putting together my housemade gen 4 revolution


WRLD

Recommended Posts

I needed an upgrade from my 1x30 but didn't have several thousand dollars to spend on something fully built

I went for the gen 4 revolution kit that came with the precut to length tubing. I sourced the ironhorse 2hp 3 phase motor, Kbac-27d VFD, Wheelset.

Everything to complete the build was $1400PSX_20210620_160343.thumb.jpg.5b0d44bd2f7135272d448afe000a04d1.jpgPSX_20210620_155110.thumb.jpg.0b400e56d4858cfb85ac738fb6a9996a.jpgPSX_20210620_155132.thumb.jpg.c67b0d23037874b09d729de545022165.jpgPSX_20210620_155147.thumb.jpg.e71c32835145875b71ead22f7a559c0a.jpgPSX_20210620_160348.thumb.jpg.f5151e4c434e76d21564e97077d948b9.jpgthe heat got me beat..

Thanks M.J.! It was a tad bit cooler this week 102°F and I was able to make some progress.

 

 

Pro tip.. don't weld your motor plate upside down :rolleyes:PSX_20210706_103147.thumb.jpg.ca75ac702d7f205bcb369181d437eee6.jpg

the work rest is backwards in the final photo I'm realizing now.. lol

 

I wanted to do a more detailed build a long but it was too toasty, maybe next time :lol:

I still have some finish welds left and some wiring but I'm pretty happy with this kit so far.  It makes my 1x30 look like a toy
