Now that looks fun.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I may have missed in the video, did you have to modify anything in the steering for better control ?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I must say driving that fast backward takes talent, I would have oversteered the wrong way and flipped the car :-) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The video makes it look like you did all the calcs in one afternoon, and has this built in a couple weeks. For sure this takes alot of effort, wondered how many hours you spent building and testing ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=8563&amp;AppID=246&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: 5000W Dual Drive Electric Car</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/theholidayspecial19/b/blog/posts/5000w-dual-drive-electric-car</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 Jan 2020 11:22:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:0d71de13-9843-4479-acd5-421caa5ab40b</guid><dc:creator>dubbie</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;You are completely mad and also completely brilliant. This is one of the most amazing builds I have seen in a long time. I&amp;#39;ve built a dual DC motor cart myself but it could only manage about 10 kph maximum and that was frightening! Plus all the problems of handling the current for the motors. Just really great - I want one!
