I got a Nissan Leaf motor (2011) for $550 on Ebay, and here it is, being tested on my homemade controller. I'm going to stick it in a car, and hopefully have a nice little budget EV conversion.

The resolver took a little figuring out. There was not much published info on it, but I made a little resolver to encoder board, and it works great! Man, I love it when a plan comes together. haha. So, if anybody needs any info on resolver specs, I can now help out with that. It's field oriented control, so you just basically control the torque. 50% of full throttle means 50% of full torque. 50% of throttle in the negative direction gives 50% "negative torque" which regens the batteries. (and makes you fly into reverse once you come to a stop unless you deal with that case in the code! haha).
