With the help of my friend Alberto, we (he) did the math to figure out if the Emrax motor was worth trying out on this platform. Turns out the way I geared the system initially would produce an acceleration of 2m/s^2, which is about 1/4 that of a Toyota Corolla, but a max speed of about 400mph. Seeing as how it's probably illegal to go that fast, I decided to optimize the gearing such that the max speed is about 80mph and the acceleration of about 1.25 that of a Toyota Corolla.
