Well I just found a glorious screw up....seems my LiFe charger only charges up to....3s So I'm looking for something to charge them. Looks like I'll be waiting another week before I get this thing rolling

What have I created?!?!

I finished the battery pack and balanced it. Then found out my charger wont do 4s and I was...more than a little upset. But I wanted to try out my monster being that I could now bring it to life. The cells came precharged at 3.3v per cell which is enough to get a feel for the motor. Plugged everything in and too it out into the dark streets to see just how much power it had.

I "blipped" the throttle, not even to 30% and the front wheel hopped OFF THE GROUND. That seems like some serious punch. More to come. I WILL have my new charger by friday... even if I have to drive to the local shop and buy it there. I can't wait!!!


More to come:
