Decided to toss the turbo in favor of a 20 gell cell batteries. Not sure how to wire up the Safety Switch though.
Mmmm.... 600A motor... at 12V, that's what, just under 10 horsepower?gospeedgo said:

Ahh, that makes more sense. 115 horsepower. I wonder how many people it surprises... 3900 lbs is a lot of weight (and I should knowgospeedgo said:close....but you didnt read far enough...its 144v
still not much of a powerhouse, but instant torque that would leave some people scratching their head light to light. I think he said top speed was 70mph.

Rated 3650, plus my fat ass, and voila...gospeedgo said:Cant be THAT heavy Dave (is it? lmao )
I did some Google research, and that motor is typically rated at about 20 horsepower, but it also says "85 peak". I found a page for a guy who has a Datson 1200, which must be quite a lot lighter, and with a similar motor (but at 156V 1200A) he can do 0-60 in about 8 seconds and exceed 120 mph.yes, but from what little I have read and years of experience with electric motors...they make peak torque all through the rpm band. So 115hp potential right on tip in, i bet she goes ok even at that weightI wouldnt go racing more than light to light though
thats the datsun 1200 elec race car right? if it is hes from portlandRootus said:Rated 3650, plus my fat ass, and voila...

Sooooooo.... if this 3900 lb Mustang has a top speed of 70 mph, I'm guessing he can't quite hit 60 mph in 8 seconds, which suggests he should stay away from stoplight racing.Sounds like a fun project, though. I could get to work, but not back home, on 30 miles of range...

Yah, the page says he's from Portland.74courier said:thats the datsun 1200 elec race car right? if it is hes from portland
