Reason i ask is: i just finished my 3rd conversion and moved all my HV stuff (Jazz 55+Neu1512/2Y+10s1p A123) from my buggy in a truggy which now wheighs 10.8lbs (4,9Kg). I think your data should be pretty close to what i will see (after fitting a hardened steel pinion) since i geared her for 40mph.

I hope you don't mind when i post some pics and data here too. I maidened her today on concrete but was short of a hardened steel pinion so i took it very easy with a non hardened one which survived only for 4 minutes: pic of my setup, Eagletree graph, video with my broken video cam

Well I weighed again yesterday and it was a portly 4.5kg w/o the batts, so I think w/ 10cells its ~5.2kg.

However, this is with those beadlock mounted maxx mashers (also taped) which are extremely heavy, and the above mentioned wing. In race trim it was weighing 3.9kg w/o batt and w/o wing on the old MM/XL setup. The dishes/CF tires are so much lighter, but the mashers are my all-around basher tire which I love. They go anywhere and are still wearing well for over a year of use.

There is one last race event @ barnstormers this year, so I'll try to get a weight when its prepped. I hope to get ~4.5-4.7kg RTR then.

Oh, and by all means post any data. I've seen some of it before, and I really like your ET-linked vids. I'm always curious to see more data.

I did assemble a little 2S A123 pack. I'm going to try and run that tied in for 12S just to see what happens. It should break 50 if I can control it. Purely for research purposes however.
