Horsepower of Kit Motors?

[Gadget470]

The values I posted are the maximum values of horsepower.

Horsepower is a relationship between RPM and Torque. When running the drill with no load and no gearbox, you won't get .5 HP out of the motor.

Take the following equation: Torque * (RPM/5252) = Horses

Now yes, you may be getting more horsepower to wheel A and B and less on C and D, but that's OK.

The wheels were "speed matched" where the final stage of gear reduction left all wheels with the same speed by having different ratios.

Wildstang, and others using the same setup, achieved a certain speed and horsepower by matching the speeds while having different torque values to the sets of wheels.

If I'm not mistaken, correct me if I'm wrong please, WS probably had drill putting out ~.4 HP and the F-P's putting out ~.05
.4 + .4 + .05 + .05 = .9 HP
