Mo's Electric Vette gets MO-power!

It has been a while since I have posted updates on the car.

About a month ago I smoked my 11" Motor doing some spirited driving.

So, I decided if one 11" motor is not enough, it is time to go to 2 - 9" motors.

With my current battery pack, I should see about 400 HP and about 600 Ft/lbs of torque. Estimated 0-60 in about 4.8 seconds.

I will post more pictures as I have them available.

I'm currently seating the brushes 8 hours at 12 volts.

But here is a sneak preview... the Powerglide will handle 1000 HP

Enjoy MO

Ok, the brushes are broken in and the motors are coupled together.

Now just waiting for the powerglide transmission.
