Serum,

I may be off on this, but what I plan to do is to only have to make two cuts. I ordered angles, so all I'm guessing I'll have to do is to cut two lengths as needed and sand two edges to accept the epoxy. I was hoping to "wet" cut the CF using an abrasive wheel and an air powered cutting tool.

I weighed my buggy with a 3S lipo in it today. It came in at 7.5lbs. With the 4S2P 6Ah pack, I'm guess that it'll be right at around 8 lbs. That should drop a bit with the addition of the carbon fiber tray. I want to go 8Ah or even 10Ah, but am concerned about the weight distribution and it's affect on handling. I don't want to go experimenting too much, because that could make for some expensive experimenting.

I ran the buggy again tonight and let a friend of mine drive it. He wasn't used to the acceleration. About 1/3 the way down the 160' straight, he was up to speed and didn't expect it. He smacked the wall and sheered the pivot balls right off. I've never seen anyone sheer pivotballs like that. He must have been cookin'.
