In electrics bigger motors are for bigger constant loadings these cars have relative light duty cycles.
I am wondering if any of the talk about the bigger motors has taken into account the efficiency spread and torque output on those motors are; how they stack up in terms of power to weight and how efficient they are at the loads the car runs at most of the time?
There seems to be a lot of assumptions made that relate to fossil fuel ie bigger is better. Bigger electric motors arent better, they are heavier, they are more expensive and they may deliver ordinary results with more wear on other components.
Electrics are fast when there is lots of voltage, a light efficient motor and a tough esc. IME the Neu 2215 is a max for a car this size - it easily over powers it and is faster than petrol motor
