No need for use of heavy gearbox's when using electric power. These motors produce max torque from zero RPM. They rev up to 5000 RPM and produce up to 55 bhp and 110 ft lbs of torque at 96V. This one is coupled to an MX5 differential which has a ratio of around 4-1. This is ideal and should have my lightweight car travelling up to 80 MPH.  You can see that the coupler I made allows for slight misalignment. The unit is an old conveyor coupler from the sand quarry next to MEV. It has 4 studs with rubber sleeves and was capable of pulling a few tons of sand via a large motor so it should be OK, time will tell.  |

I love the De Lorean and curious as to what you're going to be doing with that next too but back on topic I'm a bit concerned about your engine/motor mounts. Whilst I'm sure they will be great for absorbing the torsional forces which will try and twist the motor in the chassis, and I love the ingenuity you often illustrate I can't help but think this car won't be doing any standing quarters or at least not very quickly. However I'll give you this it ought to reduce the wheelspin on take off  Motor looks like a Warp 7 by the way. Right or wrong? |

The mounts will be fine, the motor and diff will both rotate together on the castors therefore spinning the car instead of the wheels, add a mirror and we are good to go  AC motor |

Looks good but the 2 in co2 no should be subscript rather than superscript...

Looks really good I like the restyling.
Flat batteries is a bit like running out of petrol only you can plug the car into a spare socket at most houses. I've only seen a handful of houses with a spare petrol pump
