i agree with you, but i can't imagin the bidirectional being cheaper. i'll try
to find some other alternative. i think using two bidirectionals could get
close to $1900, plus two good DC PMs for $1500 more and a good controller
[regen] $600+. thats $4000 while an AC system of the same power is about $5000
speaking of alternatvies does any one have any input on what would happen to
a belted torque converter if the motor locked up? would it slip?

I like the bidirectional so you can still use regenerative braking.
I'm kinda paranoid about motor lock-up too, but I don't want to give up the
regen.

for the MT-130 and MT-60 make sure you check the max rpm for the driven [i.e.
the motor] i think those are only rated for 1500 and 2600 rpm, respectfuly.
also check the price! i did find something that would snap right on to an etek
and would work up 3600 rpm its the FSO-400 from formsprag
[http://www.formsprag.com/PDF/P-956-FC_pg014-015.pdf] but their list price was
$800 [dealer $500]!!!

This is a good company for freewheels. They are probably who I will
order from, but it's not all that clear what's what from their website.
The sales rep suggested the MT-130B, but that's too big, so I think,
like explained in the last message, that I'll turn the drive shaft down
to 3/4" and go for the MT-60, though I'm still not sure what the
difference between the A B and C versions is. I assume it's mounting
options. Hopefully, I can call tomorrow to clarify and possibly order.
