new battery design..
can anyone tell me if this is ok? someone said that it may cause the cells to become out of balance, because the bottom's on velcro to the bottom plate, it wouldn't be cooled, while the top cell would.. getting rid of the heatsinks isn't a problem, but the battery's the only thing that's been getting warm.. not sure how warm is too warm.. I know, i'm exceeding the amp ratings, and a decent 20c pack would make the problem go away..

I had these two metal plates, and two hard drive heatsinks laying around, and came up with this:


quick stop to the hardware store:


cg is kinda high, but these were the shortest threaded standoffs i could find. I used the grommets between the standoff and the plate, hopefully obsorbing some of the bigger hits:






hopefully i can find someone to video tape racing tommorow.
