We pushed a 220lb student sitting on the carpet in low gear with a chasiss weight of about 80lbs with modest effort. Next test was no load in high gear. At 80 lbs we were in the uncontrollable speed zone. Probaly around 16 fps. At 130 lbs we should slow up a little.
This is great.

Just to let you know we tried our motors tonight and we can push one goal that weights 950lbs (4 students and 1 goal) easily. I believe that that is all the info you need right now! Also no comment on our speed!
