I'm not up to speed on motor technology, but that seems really cheap.
It's a giant brushed DC motor. It's definitely cheap enough to start a TB EV. But it's doing a blow-thru + T from a technology perspective.

Add methanol injection to keep it cool?
I realized that if I still had my VW Manx [style] dune buggy, that this motor and controller would be in my garage already. I'd think the Manx would be a near perfect candidate for this setup -- light weight, hang the motor off a simple transaxle adapter plate in place of the engine, replace the front gas tank with a battery pack, and it already has manual steering, fat rear tires, no heat and no A/C. As Summertime toy car, 40 mile range would be good enough, and I guess I could always cart around a gas generator if I didn't know how long/far I'd be playing in the mountains.
How does the sustained power of a used Warp 9 compare to an original NA redblock? Enough for a run-of-the-mill DD?

I've actually been starting to consider saving up to get a evshop conversion kit (88kw hyper9 120v) along with 8 phev packs like these:

One thing still confuses me however, these packs are listed to be 2.4kw, which would be their total voltage*capacity in ah. However, the minimum to max charge range would be around 22v * 40ah = 0.88kw.
I read that 1kw will net about 5km's (I'd be converting a Volvo 340), so then 8 packs would get me a disappointing 40km range. Or is that range specified in total capacity? I haven't really found a conclusive answere elsewhere
