Oh ya, for sure we can compare results. I just love it when i hear people using the A123 cells, it's the direction we need to go in. They are just simply better batteries.

The chassis will be a Gorrilla Maxx style design somewhat. The upper chassis will be 6mm aluminum machined (you can see a rough sketch in the pic) that will screw to the bottom chassis plate (also machine lightened), in combination, i honestly think it will be THE most rigid/durable chassis to appear in the western world ;)

I plan to use 7075-T6 aluminum Alcad, the tensile strength of this grade is 85,000 psi, common 6061-T6 Alum is about 45,000 psi. Very high strength indeed, also very high fatigue resistance, which is needed too.
