Today I retrieved the MGR that I'd left with an organization called Vintage Underground (they do EV conversion of XKEs). The owner offered to characterize it, but he's out of town and the people who looked at it didn't do any investigation, they rejected it on the grounds that it's geared for 35MPH. Or that power to it is cut at 35MPH.

Paging aeroheaad: 10,000RPM X 6.78 axle ratio is 1475RPM at the 26.6 diameter wheel[?] That appears to be 6.9ft/revolution, but I try to get from ft/minute to miles/hour and I can't obtain a consistent result.

I doubt the clutchless unit adds drag from 35MPH to the Lexus' top speed.
