Hey folks. The car I'm looking to convert has a 4.44 ratio diff in the rear, and weighs 1500kg. I would prefer an AC conversion. Would an AC-50 motor handle that kind of weight? I'm not looking for massive acceleration as such. I'm also open to using a second motor to drive the front wheels :P

Just trying to firm up my plans here.

Thanks
