Hello everyone,
After a wee hiatus I'm very glad to be back in the never stagnant surrounds of ES... with a new project. I'm very interested in your thoughts on a netgain warp9 alternative. Have been looking into AM racing's 250-90, Plettenberg's nova 150 ,even dual tp100's etc etc. The output specs of these motors is very varied but gives an idea.
The buggy, bought as an unfinished build, currently runs a Kawasaki ZRX 1200 with 125hp/100nm and will weigh in at about 450kg. The reasons for leaning towards the warp9 are primarily reliability and cost, a friend has a 750kg 12 second street car running a single warp 9 and is a very reliable and potent vehicle. So in a nutshell the inline 4 will be sold and the elec motor will be directly coupled to an IRS diff and custom axles. I understand fully that 300hp and bags of torque is massive overkill in a 450kg vehicle but that is the point...budget of around 20k and appreciate any input. Thanks again Rich
