    Hello all. About to embark on my first build. Wheels arrived today. Been looking into this for a while now, and the time has come. My build will be electric (qs138 4000w) which is the equivalent to a honda 6.5hp

You can go crazy with these things, a bac8000 controller will give 32kw, and non stop tyre frying. it draws 800 phase amps, Im not going down that route obviously, ill have to find a happy medium between power and range, ill set a normal tune at 150 phase amps, and a power setting of 350-400 phase amps. I still have to build it and test it. So to answer your question, im not sure yet  More ...
