    is the pulley made of metal?
    (just a thought .... some years ago i managed to remove a press fit pulley from a turntable motor after putting the motor in the freezer for some hours).

    BTW I didn't find many information about the mosfets sticked on the board obviously they should handle up to 110A...theoretically.

    one quick question.

    supposed you cant change the current flow and stay oem.

    if the bigger motor has bigger armature (coil), is that enough to produce more torque with the same (stock) amps?

    I like the 'mad scientists' stuff :thumbs, but this thread has no credibility, because you have not done a 3D render...:p.

    Tomorrow (or better said today) is my day of burning things ;)

    BTW what I expect from the stronger motor: less clipping.
