how did you do that lol.

e-mike · 12.28.2008, 11:05 PM

even with one battery change.....that why he could run 30 min.....and on 6 cell your amps draw is better than 4 cell

How many pits did the nitros take? Maybe 3? Did you do this with maxamps packs? If so good job...

Congrats bro!

E-Revonut · 12.28.2008, 11:37 PM

Good job! I'm also curios how many stops the nitros made. I'm guessing a couple chanced with 3 and some went safe with 4. From what I've seen they generally pit at about 7 minute intervals. Did you infact do this with MA packs?

Yes, I use Maxamps 6s 3250mah batteries. With 6s the current is low and it does not take as much punch. My batteries never get over 100F. I always get a solid 15min race level performance out of this system. I change my batteries every 15min. Keep in mind the heats are only 5min. If you run larger batteries, you are just caring around extra wight. The car actually corners and performs better.

Congrats, maybe electric does have the upper hand over nitro on certain length races. Only having to pit once compared to 3-4 times is better, even if it takes longer. I have an idea for a quick change lipo tray, maybe I should do more work on it. Good thing Mike is sending me some more kydex...

This is good for electrics! Great job, sparky.

A while back Serum came up with a quick-change battery tray system, but to my knowledge it was never produced. I have the PDF on my other computer, I can upload it here.

Nice work, and congrats from a fellow Houstonian!

wallot · 12.29.2008, 09:26 AM

very nice. really like your rules as they take into acount what people actually run.

Go Houston! I am sure the nitro heads were shocked when your rolling flashlight put it on them!
