No, I never did. The lack of disc-golf partners kinda withered my interest in the game, and I had (and still have) other things on my plate. It's all I can do to fund my R/C projects let alone dump cash into experimental projects. It's still something I'd like to do though.

However, I've been eyeing my Mazda 3 thinking that a BL system driving the rear tires may give those turbo'd MazdaSpeed 3's and STi's a little run for their money, especially in the 1/4 mile. Keeping gas powering the front and adding "only" around 30HP (but tons of torque) to the rear would be fun! Since BL has max torque at 0 rpm, it would help get me off the line where the gas engine is the weakest. A hybrid, but for a different reason. But, 200v/150A ESCs are hard (and expensive) to come by...
