   I am considering using multiple motors of this type for a electric Geo Metro but I was concerned about syncronizing multiple controllers. How do you goaboutt doing that? Also. how do you operate the controllers which are designed (I think) for an RC input?

   Brilliant!

   Outrunners are a nice light powerful choice, my only concern is their continuous power rating not sure they would cope with those power levels for extended periods but a lot of fun whilst they do!

   The motors are Turnigy 80-100-180kv
   and controllers are Turnigy Sentilon 100A HV 2-12S.

   The Amp draw is more than 200 Amps of 300 possible before the controllers burn. Now I got a new clamp meter that can handle 1000 Amps. But one of the motors has broke down
   and I hope to be able to repair that one soon.

   Great idea! I made an ev dirt bike with 2 of these motors! They are powerful but the esc is very easy to blow up when you start from a stop! I guess thats why you used the clutch! Nice! WHat is the amps draw at top speed?

   The reason to use a clutch was to eliminate the high Ampere draw from zero speed and get more torque from the start moment. Next step is to remove the the springs in the clutch and see (watt) is going to happen. The controller I am using is very cheap and has no current limiting function so last time I tryed to make a testrun I toasted one of the motors. I hope to be able to repair and make a new test befor the snow comes to Stockholm.

   really cool gokart but the clutch is point less, electrics rule

    No doubt. Electric motors make all of their torque at 0 RPM, this thing would be far faster without a clutch.

    The clutch is from a 120cc Go Kart motor but the return-springs in it is too strong so next time I will try to run without the springs. The clutch is slippering some times.
