The A/C has it's own drive belt, so that is a good question, anyone know how much power it takes to turn the A/C compressor?
Power can be limited to the speed controller as well, but the Perm motors are only rated for 10hp and 19hp peek and so I'll see if I can dig up how much power a single V-belt can handle, it seems like most ridding lawn mowers and other devices with 15 to 20 hp gas engines still use V-belts to drive everything right off the engines main drive shaft.
