well, the point was 6400 watts vs the 1800 watt rated. the efficiency might look high, but for the size it's hard to desipate 400+ watts of heat. But it's measured and proven to do so. For a few seconds it's okay, which is okay to set a speed record, agree?

600-700 watts on an mt is not enough to get it to 50 mph. (trust me on this one, i know it's hard for you) so it must have been pushing out more, or the speed must have been lower than 50 mph.

But what about the heat coming from your dewalts? 700 watts output, at 60 percent eff. that's a good 235 watts per motor too.
