50,000 Watt Electric Go Kart

1. It doesn't necessarily mean that he's using 50kw . You would have to install an amp meter to find that out .
2. can someone link me what kind of motors that were used
3. P=IxE (P= watts, I = Amps, E= voltage) 48x1000 = 48000 watts.
4. R.I.P Tires
5. you're gonna end up burning that thing up by just doing cookies the whole time. it's really bad on the CVT. you will burn through belts and it's also not good for the controller. it will make it get really hot because of how much load you're putting on it. Pretty sweet kart other than that. looks like it was done right. although there has to be a better alternative to running 8 really big, heavy batteries. if you build a protective compartment on each side where the batteries currently sitting that was about half as tall as the height of the batteries currently, then ran 8, 6S 20,000mah LIPO batteries, running in two sets of series then ran the two sets parallel, you would end up with 44 volts at 80,000mah, but it would only weigh 40 pounds total! for all 8 of them! the batteries cost 150$ each but are rechargeable so they would last a long time. you would just have to invest in a capable lipo charger but think of the performance increase by cutting so much weight!! such a cool little project. big potential there.
6. what is Motor name???
7. Haha, I like the background convo at the end. Nice cart. I want one
8. It's not 50,000 watt, it's 50,000 where
9. Why not built an arena with induction coils and remove the batteries for good?
10. 50000 watts? You need a new calculator...
11. 50.000 Watt?! How much cents und seconds you pay for it?
12. About 9600 watts for 1 hour
13. Why is everyone saying it can't be 50k watts? I can see it pushing 1k amps constant with the right batteries. Anyway I bet it would fly with traction.
14. Definitely not 50,000 watts. 
15. Mmm it's obviously not running at 50,000 watts. Car batteries can put out a high number of amps to get the starter going. The deep cycle batteries used on the kart can only push out 100 amp each for a MAXIMUM of 5 seconds. So the maximum he could pull out of these batteries would be 800 amps and that would only be for 5 seconds before the batteries begin to fail. I've seen 3,000 watt electric karts drift exactly the same as this. It's cool but the numbers are obviously way off.
16. And where is this 50kw?
17. nice build!
18. Very high power, but not a good demo: ok for drifting, but what is the behavior in a track?
19. EPIC !!!
20. 1000 amp ?????? no            100amp yes
