This was the first time i drove in this area. As i live in the city, it's not so easy to find some space to bash especialy on a beautiful sunday afternoon. This was my second battery pack. I also shot some video on a big open concrete space with my first battery pack but forgot to hook up the mic ;-( That's why i choose this part of the video.

Usually i drive in an other spot during the week. On weekends this area is filled with familys enjoying their bbqs. So no way to drive there.

The highest Amp draw was 60A. I had 7 peaks above 50A. The rest stayed below 45A. Motor temperature was no issue at all. That is the beauty of a high volt system when setup right. Outside temperature was around 20 C (68 F). As i have the non finned Neu i use two small fans above the motor, so that temperatures remain safe during summer time. The highest recorded motor temperature with 30 C (90 F) ambient temperature was 50 C (122 F). Without fans temperature reached once 70 C (158 F). That is when i decided to use some fans. With 10s A123 the motor spins up to 45000rpm and thus can heat up.

That's right. With 30v, 40A already translates to 1200W. And you won't need much more in a buggy. The batteries are only warm to the touch (same for the ESC) after a 13 to 18 minute run, as my average Amp draw is around 10A. In this run for instance the average Amp draw was 9.78A or an average of 290 Watts.
