Yes it is a monster, i consider myself to be a strong lad and i cant "safely" lift it, the car WILL move how far and how fast that is were the experiments come in.

yes i researched motor technology's before i started the job 7 year ago, but i found what i wanted and what i could got were two different things, cost and availability were probative.

Help from the gods, i have found much of this since i started the job things seemed to come my way contractor and a motor for £100

i had to turn-down and under-cut the com as it had seen better days

i intend to measure L and R to estimate staring current and torque and work from there

I don't think so and as I recall automatic Minis didn't have one.

Oi Tesla! Just had a look at your website. Cracking job. I like the clean no-nonsense look. Can't wait to see more.
I've been thinking about setting up a website myself for ages, but I'm incredibly slothful. You've inspired me to get off my backside though. Problem is I've no idea where to start. Can you give me any pointers to user-friendly software, web guides, good books? I use Mac OS X if that makes any difference nowadays.
Cheers
Malcolm
