***__ The 1/8 Onroad Think-tank __***

[myndseye]

What parts of the car did you use to determine to boundaries of your available space for the battery? When I did my Serpent 835, I made a custom top plate using the original one as a pattern, and placed a cutout in the center area where the gas tank was to let the battery come through. I then stacked A123 cells in a 3s2p configuration (three on bottom and three glued on top like a brick). When you break down the Dewalt packs to get the cells, the paper cylinder outers on them are very good for gluing using basic wood glue. I would guess that with the extra length of the 8th, you could probably go 4s2p.
