I grew up in the 60's,in calif,never were we exposed to anything with wheels that was electric,except our electric train sets.But believe me,electric's will rule someday,smashing every record ever made by a combustion engine.Electric motors have 80-90 percent efficiency,while a combustion engine looses most of it's power out the exhaust,in the form of heat.If we could contain that heat,then we would have something,but material science seems to lagging as far as engine parts are concerned.
as a tuner, it bothers me to see comments that shows lack of intelligence or even the ability to think outside the box, this is a great car, a great project personally all this back talk ego stroking baby shit is a waste of time on both parts! keep makin these things go faster, those who are not open to new ideas and technology will be eventually! I love gas, and I love electric..but honestly the numbers on new electric motors dont lie! plug in and power up! and lets just have FUN! -
@jamesdodd64 sry I´m not into elektrik car technik, but I get that idea to throw my gas fuel engine out and replace it whit an electrik motor, lets say I will have something about 450 NM how much is such an built. and is it hard to convert a car .... I did a motor swap sometime, so I guess I can handel something ;-)
@Lithiumaniacs well th emotors are fine... it's that they have a lunatic behind the wheel. Seems to think 2000amps isn't enough, and that 4000amps is much closer to what is proper.
@mdlittle5466 combustion engines suck, i realise this every time I ride my 2 stroke, exhaust has gone and now it takes 5 minutes for it to start running with enough power to set off, then another 5 for it to get full hp, i'd rather be using lipo batteries and just have instant full power
@youeatbeans well his company is called Hi_torque_electric and he works on electric car motors but anyway i dont know much about the white zombie or the killacycle giving im a girl and i dont really care but i dont think john waylands going to race any time soon, im betting hes pretty depressed
Thank you Taunter for clearing that up for me, great job on the new world record, I wish I would have been there for that. you guys have an awesome crew and were very nice to us when we came to check out The White Zombie. Big fan, James
The Taunter here part of the White Zombies PlasmaBoy Racing Team. What actually happened in the video you see all the sparks is from our motor! The batteries were not the issue at all as a matter a fact they performed flawlessly and delivered allot of power. We abused our poor motor for a few years of hard drag racing and it finally went 6 feet under! We did not make a 10 second pass on this run however we did twice the following weekend! New world record! 10.4 seconds at 117 MPH!
@TheOriginalTaunter U guys are sooo far in front of the 'major' auto makers. it's great 2 see. i knew it was the brushes/motor burning up and not the batteries, mainly 'cause i learned it from one of your previous videos. my first car was a green 1972 Datsun 1200. if only i'd known what it could be!

@dequinox Okay I'll change it to 10.4-ish just for you.

@jamesdodd64 Actually upon further searching I found a 10.2 -ish time for the zombie...so I was wrong it's actually faster now!
