It's Alive!

I spun it today for the first time. Two bad sets of jumper cables made it a much harder job than anticipated. Forgetting that I had hooked up the driveshaft and left it in gear would have been really exciting if I hadn't just been using a single 12v battery. Running myself over is an old Monty Python skit; wouldn't want to explain that to the Paramedics...

I installed the inertia switch as well today - this will shut the motor down, killing power to the pack in the event of a major collision.
