He would have to answer that question himself, but I personally wouldnt wouldnt turn down the throttle EPA or only hold 1/4 throttle all the time, as thats a great way to fry an esc; they are most efficient at full throttle (think old tamiya mechancial speed controller and you'll know exactly what Im getting at). Using a motor that will only give 10-15mph at wot would be much more efficient. I would agree though, this sounds more like a 35-55turn lathe motor or two would be best- cool temps, ample torque and 1-2 hour runtimes on a pair of big lipos....
