Nice numbers Sikes, I actually computed this with 4S lipo in mind but I want to try first with my 5S2P A123. However, i dont think my previous mod on the chassis to fit the 5S would be ideal (might weakened the chassis too much) so i chopped of 1 of the battery on top to fit 4S...i might put that cell on top if i can find a way to mount it.....
For the ESC, I initially wanted an HV110 for the soft start but breaking will be a problem and its hard to get pistix now. I will transfer my MMMV2 from the EMAXX to this conversion..EMAXX will get MGM 16025....
I think your conversion will be fast no doubt about it...but my conversion was not intended for speed but just bashing... for me 30-40mph will be the top speed I can control...im not too good
Travis, I think it should be ok to cut them off...no choice but if you have a spare alu as thick as the motor brace, inch high and wide as the screw on this mount I might be able to make an arc to join the 2 piece...maybe you can give me some
