Thanks for the compliments. This thing really did take a while doing it here and there at work.

The battery tray does look a little like the ones available here, but I designed and built it. Nearly everything was taken from scrap material laying around the shop. The battery tray was one big hunk of what I think was PVC. Not the strongest stuff out there, thats for sure - that's why the sides are pretty thick.

Total weight is around 5.75lbs. Electrical measurements were taken using the Watts Up meter ( http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...yzer_(Watts_up) ). It will record just the max Amps and wattage, and show total mah usage. Not quite the eagletree, but it works well. It didn't look at the total Watts on the last run, but it should be right around 1kW, as the voltage sags a bit at 60A.

I personally think the ESC tray is one of the cooler things on this build. It is just a simple sheet metal design, but it was the first sheet metal part I'd made using a 90 degree punch/shear and press brake - gotta love perfect bends and crisp, straight cuts. The aluminum standoffs raise it up to get more airflow and I really dig the built-in switch mount. Sure the motor mount and chassis are more complicated, but they are just machined - I love learning to use new tools.

If anyone is interested I can post a screenshot of the Solidworks model.
