I like it rough. Gives it the logo that patina rustic look.

Whats that motor weigh again?

Thanks. I see what you're saying. Maybe I'll explore keeping/capturing that as a feature. I kind of like the challenge.

It goes with the patina'd carbon look I have in mind for the rest of the car. Kind of like an old carbon fiber race car that's been sitting in a field breaking down in the elements - I guess over hundreds of years! Rather than the, oceans-deep, layers of gelcoat normally found over exposed carbon, you'll be able to feel the texture of the cloth, and there will be places where it's apparently broken, or deteriorated (thousands of years?), etc.

350lbs. This one is a GE: 13.5" diameter, 23" long case. The most popular commercially available, 13", DC, EV motor is the Warp 13, at 13.25 x 20.4"; so this is a beast of an electric motor. My motor came from a 10,000lb capacity (lift and carry) forklift.

Can't wait to feel it pull a 1200lb go-kart.
