    An additional question.
    What power supplies do you guys use for your rig?

    I have no experience with DC motors and because I'm looking at ordering a power supply this topic is of great interest. I haven't been able to find the efficiency of the recommended motors in the specs so if we assume 80% then one 1500W power supply won' t be sufficient based on the above calculator. I was looking at getting two 1000W supplies but will hold off and see what else can be learned from the current discussion. The Stall Current is a head scratcher as well?

    I know basic electronics but not an electrical engineer. My father-in-law worked in electronics and will ask him. But even better, he has a friend that works for Mitsubishi in their motors division. He's the guy I really want to talk to.

    But generally, current is what is doing the "work" relative to the load on the motor. Current is measured in amps and a car battery has over 600 "cold cranking amps" due to the resistance of trying to turn over the engine. And also why guys use them on 12 volt sim rigs, never short of pure raw power.

    I wanted to get 30 amp power supplies but went with the cheaper 20 amps but I'm not a heavy guy either. Real weight test with bigger guys is coming this weekend.
