Short Description

Electric motors have never been popular among players due to their terrible stats, especially regular ones in ACF3 due to the fact they no longer have the advantage of not requiring batteries to work. It was suggested on the Discord server by Drew#0748 that they could be repurposed: Regular ones could be repurposed into Heavy Duty Electric motors, making them more suited for combat use, and standalone ones could be repurposed as General Use Electric motors, making them more suited for automotive use.

References (Optional)

The suggested changes given by Drew:

Heavy Duty Electric motors

  • higher durability
  • lower redline
  • more torque
  • worse torque curve (faster drop off from peak)
  • weigh more
  • heavy duty batteries can take more abuse and explode less destructively but suffer in capacity and weight
  • more suited to combat use

General Purpose Electric motors

  • lower durability
  • higher redline
  • less torque
  • longer torque curve
  • less weight
  • batteries go boom but have better capacity and energy density
  • more suited to automotive use

You might wanna look into the torque curves of real motors, such as asynchronous motor:

Should talk to Sundae about this, he knows a fair bit about the subject
