Gizmo, the 4 motors one for each wheel would be very cool. However i want to run a CVT (constantly variable transmission) so its just simpler to run a couple of motors to the CVT.

Ill take your advice Gizmo and go with the oatley motors.

Storm, Ive looked into the E-teks and i think they would be overkill for my go kart, and the power requirements are huge, not to mention the size of the speed controller needed!

The E-teks are pretty expensive as well. Maybe 3 or 4 300w motors would give more then enough power to satisfy my needs. Especially with a CVT attached.
