I know. Thank you though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ahhhhh that makes sense Dan. Just weird they don't show the prices for the other things. Maybe they are only going to sell the controllers individually? Weird... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll have to check that out... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ---------- I am going to keep my eye on this company... Because if the stats are even in the ballpark, that is an insane deal... Sent from my iPhone...

Gooooooodness. If that is actually legit, that is going to be insane... $600 for a 9kw system, disc brakes, and a lithium battery pack?? That seems absurd!! I am trying to build a 14kw electric go kart for $1k...... This is a bit cheaper... That's crazy wow.

What are those yellow caps on the shafts of almost every Motenergy Motor? Are they adapters to fit some sprockets or are they just there for shipping reasons?

Alright, so I have looked into some more motors... I am now leaning towards the ME0201014201 brushless motor. ( http://www.evdrives.com/product_p/mot-me4201.htm ). I know it is a PM but I will instal an amp meter and watch the amps... I live in Florida so no hills, and I can't imagine my...

https://www.gokartsupply.com/sprocket.htm This seems to be a pretty good website as far as parts... I was looking through there gear/sprocket selection (I think I linked it properly, not sure if it is the right page sorry) and I only saw 3/4in and 5/8in "jack shaft" sprockets (which I assume...

http://m.ebay.com/itm/161241114632 I found some (what seems to be nice) 428 chain on eBay... So this is the stuff you were talking about? It seems to be stuff you use on ATV's which would be great for my go kart. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright. I have never purchased gears or chain before so pardon my lack of knowledge... So #40 chain? And then I will deal with gear ratios and stuff later down the road when I actually get the chassis... Maybe there is a spur gear already on there I might have to match... Sent from my iPhone...

Okay yeah, I guess I saw the liquid cooled one and it looked weird. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ---------- Since this is a higher powered motor, do I need a thicker type of gear/chain?

Awesome thanks so much. I will definitely consider that, and right now that is my #1. A bit steep for both the motor and controller, but seems crazy good. Maybe I will check if there are any deals on other websites that sell it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---------- Post added at...

Lol. Just a tad. Hopefully I'll be able to find one in the 2-5kw range in my budget.. 😬😬😬 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh wow. Thanks for the info... And no I won't say Turnigy! Haha, I learned my lesson with them.... I will check out some wound motors... And goodness that brushless motor is expensive, I will have to look around to find something in my <$300 price range..... Yikes. Ben Sent from my iPhone...

Thanks! No, I didn't search for a Hp label, I searched "super fast electric go karts" and all of them said they used an "etek" motor... A few minutes later I found what seems to be the cheapest model which was the "ME0909"... It was a bit out of my price range, but if it was off the charts...

I just saw the motor : ME0909 . It seems insane!! http://www.electricmotorsport.com/me0909-pmdc-motor-12-48v-4-hp-cont-12-8-hp-pk.html Is it worth the extra money?
