Research for a 1:1 electric car

[lincpimp]

Thanks James. I am all about doing this on the cheap... I can be quite inventive if necessary. I am wondering if I can run 2 motors together to double up on the power? I was planning to run 12 12v batteries in series for 144v... But I could do a 2p setup with half the voltage... Depends what is cheaper. I am sure the hv setup is better, especially considering the controller options.
