Something sounds wrong in the driveline. Its much more noisy than I'd imagine, and the variable frequency with tire rotation is not expected. Why do you think the clutch is slipping - because the rear wheels are not rotating while the front are?
This project just transformed to a whole new level! Congratulations man! This is the first time any of us has seen an electric motor turn the drivetrain of an evo.

His car doesn't have an ACD. The VCU center diffs don't equally transfer power when the car is in the air. The VCU needs load to load apply lockup to the center diff.
I'm pleased that everything passed the first function test, but there is still a bit more construction left before a road test is feasible. The trunk Li pack needs some mounting brackets and I still have to mount the charger, BMS, and rear fuse box. At that point, the construction phase will be complete and I will work on wiring up the horn, lights, windows etc, in order to pass state inspection.
The knocking noise in the video seemed to be coming from the passenger front axle shaft/ transfer case area. I bought all 4 axles used and the pass side was definitely quite weak. It wasn't evident in the video, but at <10% throttle, the motor was spinning and the wheels were stationary. Perhaps the clutch is at fault. The 3 min video represents all the power testing I've conducted thus far, so I have a lot ahead of me.
My motor controller's error light is flashing and the Hall effect Prius pedal is not functioning. I can't read the error unless I first establish a serial connection between the controller and my laptop. I've tried several different USB-Serial adapters and several different drivers, but the best I can get is whats pictured below. I have a FTDI chipset on order, which is rumored to be the best for USB-Serial communication. Hopefully, that does the trick. I've also ordered a new throttle input. I never liked the Prius pedal.
I like how your background photo is my hometown's city skyline. OT but yeah, good luck with your project.
Too busy with other obligations to even look at the car. I've been creating a list of about a dozen items or so that need to be checked off before neighborhood-road testing can begin. Perhaps this weekend I can get to work.
