Thanks a lot for the replies guys
Ok so I understand why you can't use a 12v motor... it'd just draw far too many amps. A shame really I have 2 spare car batteries
.
So, where could I hope to find a suitable motor and battery?
I like the idea of attaching straight to the back wheels, would only attaching to one do the trick or would I have to use both?
I should add the car is 1.8l petrol and front wheel drive... the rear wheels are just pulled along spinning on their wheel hubs
.
I had thought of welding some kind of toothed disc onto the hub that then connects with whatever motor I end up using, rather than building it straight into the wheel... does this sound like a good plan?
Thanks!
