The slipperential is still in prototype form at the moment. It works fantastic, but I need to work on the motor mount some more to stiffen it, as well as change a few things on the input shaft(uses a Revo input shaft and slipper at the moment, but it isn't a perfect fit and is "cheated" in there somewhat - it has held up great, but I want it to be a drop in). The current design shown will drop into a G2r, but the motor mount won't work(motor is lower and closer to the center - G2R shocks are in the way). I intend to make a G2R version, as well as a drop in version for truggy conversions at some point, but I need to fine tune this design first.

The A123 packs are pretty killer. The 2300mah value is misleading as well. We managed 6 solid minutes with a 6s 2300 pack - and we were overgeared for this a bit - the packs came off at almost 160F, but didn't falter once or hint that they were overworked. The 2s2p setup yielded around 15 minutes of track time - quite impressive for race conditions and 4600mah(10 minutes would be my expectation from a similar cell of the same "rated" capacity based on past experience). I am working on getting some more cells and chargers from A123 for the weekend or possibly next weekend at the RCCA Monster Madness event. They are a nice cell to consider - fast charge, high discharge capacity, very durable and safe, and a long life span make these cells a value IMO.
