Like mort said above, I'd say the issue is the capability of MG1. Mechanically, it's just a planetary gearset, which I would assume can hold a LOT of power without busting. There's no clutches or anything like that. You could probably replace MG1 with something else (like a strong DC motor) or rewind it for more amps, but then what would you control the whole mishmash with? THAT would be the complicated part. BUT...if you succeed, it would be the coolest thing ever!
