I really like the "Siamese Twin" concept as well.
Unfortunately, the Electro-Metor is a front-wheel drive car, with a transverse engine (ahem, now motor.)
The single 10" motor only fit in there after chopping the tail-shaft off.
I would love to do a siamese twin on a rear-wheel drive project! A while back, a bunch of us in the local EV group went to the junk yard to pull out forklift motors. We got 3 HUGE matching DC motors. TWO of them are now going into two different Ford Ranger pickup truck conversions.
I have my eye on the third one. I was originally thinking that TWO of those motors in one project could create some AMAZING acceleration!
