how did you get those tapped holes like that in the edge of the heat sinks lon the MGM? Looks like a really clean way to be able to mount that thing. Id like to do that to mine to get rid of the zip ties I'm using now.

Did you drill those yourself?

Mine came with them predrilled, I assumed for attaching the fan option they have. They are 2mm holes, so mounting it was pretty easy. I used a little piece of plastic as a slab to put the 2mm bolts thru, then I have that attached to the chassis w/ a couple 3mm bolts. Then its secure, but easy to pop out for any reason. Plus a bit of fuel tube in between for some dampening (see, it's good for something :) .)

I didn't get any ET data, I had it w/ me, but couldn't fit it in there lol. With those extra cells and the Y to connect them, it got a bit messy. Def not for everyday driving, but just to screw around with. I don't think tho I was ever able to even draw 60A as the power was just too much. I estimate it was capable of 2100W peak, but I could never put that down w/o doing a backflip.

There were few times I could bury the trigger, but that was only once it was already going quite fast, so you just wouldn't see that big power spike like on takeoff. Didn't last long either as the front came up or the truck got unstable due to the tires and had to let off.

The tires didn't balloon too bad as they are taped, but at such high speeds they don't balloon evenly and handling gets squirrely.

So does this mean you can make it to the RCMTRA race?

I'm planning for Sun and hoping for the best. I really hope my lipos arrive 1st. The A123 pack is a big of a brick for racing, but OTOH who cares for this event. Should just be fun :)

Same here, just Sunday...Mike too from what I understand. It should be a good end of season race...

See you there.

Cool then, should be fun.


What would be cool is to hook up the ET during one of the races to see what it looks like under race condits. If I was real tricky and lucky I'd get someone to record it for me, then make a cool vid like Otello's w/ the sync'd ET data w/ the video. Those vids are the best, no RPM module for me, but that's ok.
