The Warp 9 and Zilla 1k are still very respectable choices
in terms of moving a lighter vehicle such as a VW Cabrio around.
It is your money and your project of course, so you should indeed
weigh the options before starting, but if it were my own then I
would be planning to get an adaptor plate for
crowaves there that haven't been hauled away yet.

Amen.
Sometimes there's a tendency to let the perfect be the enemy of the good, as
the saying goes goes.
Lots of great things happen from the accumulation of lots of good things.

Thanks for the link to that whitepaper, very instructive and reassuring.

The AC vs DC debate will never end. That's probably a good thing.
Still, I often think that it's not really AC vs DC, it's series motor vs
almost everything else.
Most motors have torque curves very different from ICEs, but the series
motor especially so - enough that in some situation you f
