Gday all.

Im planning on making a hybrid electric go kart at the end of this year. Now i was thinking of using a couple of 450w oatley motors to power it.

However, i changed my mind! I really want to use a F&P smart drive motor.

Now what i need to know is, what sort of RPM and power i can expect from 24v with the stock windings, mines a 60 series F&P motor.

I want about 500w or higher.

Would i have use a metal magnetic hub (get one made of course) or could i stick with the plastic one?

I dont really want to spend much on this conversion, probably my budget for the motor is about 150 dollars, give or take a bit. I know i'd be pushing it with that budge, but i already have all the bearings, and everything needed to mount the motor.

Glenn, i know you have done this before, could you give me some help? Do you still have the plans or file for the metal magnetic hub you got made?

Cheers guys
Your helps appreciated,
Chris
