Motor question

[Golden543]

I am thinking of adding this motor http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-HP-3600-R...-10-2753-/271520823549?_trksid=p2054897.l4275
To this: http://t.toysrus.com/skava/static/p...&frmSearch=true&domain=http://www.toysrus.com

I was going to take out the motor inside the mini car and add this motor. Is this possible? If so how?

Thx!

No.

The answer is no, to all of the above....
First things first..... Speed is dependent on gear ratio and engine/motor rpm.... At a 3600rpm rating, that motor will go just as fast as a 5hp gas powered kart of the exact same specs. Only difference, you have to add more weight (batteries, ect) to the electric kart....
Speaking of electric..... Where you planning on using a big thick extension cord to power that 230volt AC motor? Or you gonna pull a Wagon behind you ,with a big 9hp gas powered generator , to power it? Or is it going into a bumper kart like at the carnivals? They get the "hot" lead from the steel fence strung out across the ceiling and ground from the floor they drive on..... Surely you're not doing the latter.....

No.

The only answer of real value for any of the above questions

As Jim said, it simply doesn't work that way..
like how fast is a 110hp car...
you can't give an answer to that.. a 1950s 110hp 2 ton truck will go maybe 50mph and a 1970s 110hp lightweight sportstcar 110mph...

So you need to know what you want in order to find the motor you need to get there.
everything else is..just NO!
