High speed buggy project......

Is the weight (24lbs) really going to be a big factor given the HP (4+) that will be generated by two 1527's? I'm just thinking that for real vehicles 6+ lbs/HP is a fantastic ratio. I don't know the math/physics but it seems to me that the bigger issues will be the aerodynamics and high speed stability.

I was thinking 2 1527's at 12S each, is more like 4200-4400 watts each. Which should be around 11-12HP.

Will you leave the 2 speed in it? If so I do not think that 100mph will be difficult with a pair of 1527s running 12s.

You will needs some serious wings to keep it on the ground. Sounds like fun!
