I gave up on how to power the car so i'm just sticking to the batterys...(yey goodie)

ok but i'm making a battery powered go Kart and i need to find a motor for it.
Any help?

(for the battery just take like the little batterys and just connect them in parrallel to get more mV ok?)

i just need a good motor go move it i'll figure everything else out!
(i would want to make it go around idk... maybe 10mph with me sitting on it if thats not to expencive.)

How many AA's can you get?

If I remember correctly, the lil' Rascals used a motor from a washing machine...

I was going to suggest a tablesaw.

Just doing the math: 33000ftlbf/min ,10mph, 130lbm, and some other conversions.....

I'd say you only need about 433 HamsterPower. (~.29 Hp with no mechanical friction, weight of motor,aerodynamic drag, etc. taken into account)

So just about any motor out there can push that weight 10mph.

1 HP or more, maybe. The lowest Hp I've read online is 2Hp.

There's the Neurotikart

and this one,

But that's probably more than you want. so there you go.
