I am having some difficulty in visualizing your project. Are you putting two AC-51 motors in the line with the drive shaft? The drive shaft moves up and down and front to back, with the motors there is not going to be any length of shafting to give the rear axle sufficient travel to drive on a

Thanks for the detailed explanation, Cor. I think I'm still having a hard time warping my head 'round torque and power requirements and all the rest. I'm thinking I need some good way to calculate (or at least guesstimate) *actual* power requirements so I can compare with what I'm seeing on

Hi Ben and All,     Since a de-ICE'd Mustang is fairly light a good combo is 2 longer 6.7'' motors ADC   L91 or D+D  ES-31 will give you everything you need depending on the battery, controller you get. Remember this is what the Killacycle uses too so as much power as you want.

A while ago, I had done some back-of-the-envelope math that told me that I didn't need to worry much about batteries until the time came to actually pick which to buy. Now, thanks to y'all, I'm realizing that this may instead be a show-stopper. To recap, I have a chance to buy a 1964 1/2

Too bad A123 went under. Their cells would have been PERFECT. You could consider the EnerDel high-power modules carried by evolve electrics (and possibly others, but I haven't seen them elsewhere). They're more expensive than CALB/Thundersky but better suited to your application. 32Ah/44V
