Maximize Your Build! Top Upgrades for Fall 2024

Upgrade Your Build with These Top Products

Fall is in the air—making it the perfect time to make improvements to your build. Here, we list our top picks for the fall. Which is your favorite? 

01. ReVolt Systems’ Tesla Large Drive Unit (LDU) Coolant Bypass Kit

This coolant bypass kit prevents the notorious issue of the rotor seal failing and flooding the drive unit, leading to catastrophic failure. If this happens, your entire motor and inverter can be destroyed, leading to an extremely costly repair. ReVolt Systems has developed this kit to route the coolant away from the area where the factory seal is prone to fail.

In the many years of experience ReVolt has had with Tesla motors, it has seen a tremendous uptick in failed seals and damaged drive units. So ReVolt Systems has now developed this kit for all of its projects and extended it to the public to save Tesla owners from costly damage.

05. APP EV Systems Modular Battery Pack

Each APP modular pack features a carbon-kevlar-fiberglass construction, which provides an 80% weight savings over more traditional steel enclosures. This means each enclosure when filled with battery modules weighs a meager 230 pounds. Their flexible mounting configurations allow the packs to be mounted throughout the vehicle to improve weight distribution and as a result, vehicle performance.

The entire pack is actively cooled with automotive-grade quick-release coolant connectors, which are available in either straight or 90-degree orientations depending on use case and mounting configuration. The modular system also has  safety features such as a fused manual service disconnect, high voltage interlock capabilities, touch proof HV connectors, and venting units for degas flow.

Within the pack, a single module can store 18.2kWh of energy, 64kW of max power, and has an operating voltage range of 60-103 Volts. They also include an external 61-pin BMS connector for seamless connection to whatever BMS system the builder chooses to use. These modules are designed so that four of these modules can be connected in series to build a 73kWh, 96s, 400V battery pack compatible with most EV systems currently on the market.
