That's about the average power usage of all the guys I race with. I don't think anyone ever does a proper race with less than 300w average draw, some guys have the odd race with 400w+ draw.

Just an update, I did drop the cut off to 3.1/cell, and it did seem to help, but the motor still didn't have enough pop after about 5 or 6 mins. I went ahead and swapped in the tekin 1350 and it definitely cured my problems, I ran past 12 mins and it still had plenty of torque, less than at the 5 min mark, but definitely raceable unlike the xcelorin. I am guessing that the extra rotor length with the tekin is helping. I stopped shortly after 12mins but my pack still didn't dump so I am all good for racing 10min mains. The pack did however come off alot warmer than I am use to with my neu and zippy packs. So as long as my slipper clutch on my tekin rotor doesn't kick in, I should be all good. Thanks for the help to all the guys how made suggestions.

it did great, felt like I could get on the throttle alot sooner out of the corners and the rear was more planted.

Are they going to make an electric specific chassis?

Did you run it at LARCC in Destrehan this weekend?
