Not a motorcycle, but those motors!
« on: November 09, 2020, 11:02:35 PM »

From an all around good chap Jonny Smith and his Late Brake Show Youtube channel comes a video on a special Ford Mach E setup for drifting.
Now drifting isn't anything I'm really interested in but the car's setup is.

It has 1400HP and can be setup in 4wd or 2wd with VERY high torque to the wheels but it was the motors that got my attention.
The car has 7 motors, each rated at 200HP but as the drivers says you can just keep stacking them as much as you want.
Each motor is 3 inches thick!
I can't tell the diameter but that's a lot of horse power in that space.

You can watch the whole video for fun or go to about the 12:00 mark to see them talk about the setup.

Yeah pretty much the same or almost the same.

It struck me as a fantastic EV conversion option.  Either two or four used at the wheels of a car or truck.  Like an inboard hub motor.
