I currently run a me0909 brushed 48v 300A peak motor on my go kart with alltrax 48500 PMDC controller, which is powered by a 13s 44ah lipo pack.
I am thinking about upgrading to the me1507 PMAC motor using the Curtis 1236SE controller and a 72v battery pack.
If given a brushed and brushless motor of similar specs (voltage, amps ,etc), would the brushed motor provide more low-end torque and more aggressive acceleration than the brushless equivalent?
My current me0909 specs48v (300a peak) 14kw peak with 4.8kw continuous. The me1507 motor at 72v hits (450amp) 32kw peak and 13.3kw continuous. Keeping gearing the same, the me1507 setup should allow me to spin out the tires from a dead start? I read somewhere that brushed motors are really good at low-end torque compared to brushless motors. But given the much higher kw ratings of the 72v me1507 powertrain, I should have much more power/torque compared to my existing setup?
While the takeoff/acceleration on current setup is pretty aggressive, I can't spinout the tires. I do like/want very aggressive low-end torque and acceleration and hope by upgrading to the me1507 powertrain at 72v, I can achieve that. I want to peel out when I floor it from a standstill.
