I’m thinking of getting a 7.5 motor for my eS, looking for advice from anyone that’s done this. Thanks, John ---

Do it and have the controller reprogrammed to take full advantage of the upgrade. I did and am very satisfied w/ results. ---

ive done many, there are 7.5 motors on ebay right now for $650 but you still have to have controller reprogram. which means taking it out and sending it to them to be programmed for better speed. you can expect to get 34 mph out of it. if you also put 14" tires and rims (4x100 lugs, 195/70/14) it will go about 40 Rich
