They use thermal paste in between each cell to reduce resistance.

they use a special paste to hook up the cells.

@ neil; It wasn't coursing or swearing, just a clear observation..

It is a shitload of batteries that dude has, you got to agree with that..

@aqwut; i know you like your setups HV, but isn't this a tad of an overkill? there is a certain point where DC becomes more dangerous than AC, and i think you might have reached that point with the few hundreds of volts of DC in your house..

I just like having a lot of batteries.. and for the price that I'm gettin' them.. it was just too hard for me to resist... Plus the girlfriend approved of it... How could I say no?.. :) Plus an early X-Mas bonus from work helps to... I'm so happy now.... I do agree Serum, I do have a sh*tload of batteries... I'm gonna put them all in a metal toolbox..

How this are the power tubes.. are they about 4mil?

Final thought: I know Im on RCM when the even the Mods swear- such a more casual attitude its refreshing & thoroughly entertaining!.....

hahaha, thank god. I got warning points @ TRX forums my first week saying something was a "PITA"....

seriously, not even the word, but an acronym for a word that is heard on every TV show after 7pm. WTH. 2yrs later and I still have those stupid points.

Meanwhile I go to a track and its like I stepped onto a pirate ship.....

You should join www.rccrawler.com , even if you're not into crawlers, just for the sheer hilarity of the goofballs over there. Noobs and r-tards get pounced on, the whole place manages to govern itself though.
