I’m making a gocart that will weigh 50 kg or less, I want to run it on 2 DC motors and get 25-30 km/h out of it, do you have any idea what I could use, I want to run it in rear wheel drive

Hey @AdamMaitland!
We have a neat tool which should give you the specifications for your motors: https://community.robotshop.com/tutorials/show/drive-motor-sizing-tool
Update me with the specs and I’ll try to find you something!

I would definitely want to see that GoKart in action!

Hey there , I did the sizing tool, it says I will need An NaN battery pack, 322.41 RPM angular velocity, 244.63 NM torque,
11.070 HP and 343.96 A maximum current
Hello @AdamMaitland
That’s a huge motor! I could get to 20 km/h with a 1/2 hp motor on a ~60lb bike. 11 hp seems kinda off 
In any case, there’s nothing like that in Robotshop’s catalog. You should consider EBay, Alibaba or Aliexpress.
