But for that matter I am not talking about a complete engine replacement, 80 ft lbs of torque is a LOT if it's just a booster.
I was talking about that one small motor you linked.
I asked what motors you think would be good for doing a hydraulic hybrid, you linked that little motor. I don't think its big enough.
