Talk about an awesome project. [Lucas Evanochko] was commissioned to build this totally rad Delorean style golf Cart for Red Deer College’s 30th annual Golf Tournament.
According to him, it’s been about 600 hours in the making – and they only started building it in July. This past week was its big unveiling, and it has had an overwhelmingly positive response so far!
They started with one of the club’s golf carts and modified it heavily, relying on the automotive expertise of [David Keykants] and [John Perrin] to turn it into the aw-worthy time machine it is today. It has a 7” tablet built right into the dash to play music and use the Fluxy88 Time Circuits app. A big array of arcade buttons hooked up to an Adafruit Audio FX board play various sound bites from the movie, including the theme music!
All the accessories are powered off of a separate 12V system from the main 48V drive line. Oh and the Flux Capacitor? It’s controlled by a Trinket Pro. Check it out after the break. We love the detail that went into this!
As far as your non-traditional Delorean builds go, this has gotta be near the top. We must say this hover craft Delorean is pretty awesome too though!
Incredible job guys. Really looks amazing!
Perhaps windscreen washer sprayers filled with petrol behind each wheel might be overkill.
Maybe Colin Furze will make one that can reach 88MPH.
No points for separate battery from the main battery. A buck converter is needed. After all, the FX and sound is needed as much as the drive.
If you wanna take 585.00 of the budget for a converter and our expert auto electric guy from Choice Auto Electric said to stay out of that 48 volt system and it’s 1200.00 computer
There has never been a time in my life that I’ve WANTED a golf cart. Damn you HACKADAY!
I can’t believe I’m the first to say “Great Scott!”
You read the article in Christopher Lloyd’s voice didn’t you (:
I now know what I want for Christmas.
If my calculations are correct, when this baby his 8.8 miles an hour you are going to see some serious s***.
I wonder if it uses 1.21 Kilawatts :-)
No gullwing doors? But that’s the defining feature of the DMC-12…
Let’s hope that no VW software is involved, otherwise (i.e. WITH VW software) this baby could travel back and forth in time – but only if nobody is sitting behind the wheel (seat-load detection wired into ability-software). And as long as somebody is watching, it will only go forward in time (at the same rate the watcher is). VW Software would also allow it to sleep with your best friend’s spouse, the cat AND the milkman at the same time, cheat on your tax declaration AND become president of the Americans by means of malfunctioning elect-o-matics.
Wait … Wasn’t Golf a brand by VW? Doh!
Aside from that: Great build Nice looks. Cool dog.
once you hit 8.8mph…
you’ll never be late for tee off time.
play all 18 holes at the same time!
That’s a pretty fantasmic build. The drivers licenses are a nice touch!
I’d like to see the iconic time display added to the front too though :-)
Lucas here! Dual Divisions (.com) was actually commissioned to build the cart; I was asked to join the build and do the electronics on it! David Heykants is the man with the plan who did the fabrication!
Where did you get those rims?!?
