88mph is a back to the future reference.

I want to take off from a dead stop with gut punching acceleration.

If the man says he is doing 8 motors, he is mounting 8 motors. I have no doubt the mad Dr. is gonna be screaming down the San Diego streets, drag racing cars and not giving a fuck!!!

If the man says he’s running 8 motors then he’s gonna run 8 motors at full throttle and say it’s not enough torque :love_you_gesture:t3: The moment I read the thread name I knew it was Mike :joy:

I want @akhlut to make me a trailer mount so I can pull things, like fat dawg. But that’s icing on the cake.

After it goes, then I focus on the extras.

Not an April fools joke.

Would have been great to say “6 motors” and then come back, like “psyyyyych, what am I nuts? 8 motors.”

Golden opportunity missed.

Do it!

For power transmission, a single belt is suboptimal, even if it were like 30mm wide - you have fewer tooth engaged on all pulleys. Better use two belts and a wide wheel pulley (potentially with a divider between the two belts).
If space is an issue - use chains.

Like tire traction calculations to make sure you dont just spin out every time, etc
