This was my first race with this car, and I had no time to improve a system for a fast swap of the battery.

I am thinking of a solution that I hope will take around 30 sec to swap the battery

Another race yesterday, another 45min final.

Finish 6th among 19 racers. Two electric cars racing, both using MMM.

Air temperature was 97ºF, track temperature 117ºF.

Beside the ESC fan problem I mention before everything ok. I did not change the fan yet, but it stoped again during the final. On the battery swap the ESC cut because temperature, two blows and back on business.

And I already changed the switch.

14 hours of race/practice work so far.
