On-road BL project

You live in Des Moines too?

The batts might be able to fit flat along the motor mount, but I made the holder for a 2s2p eMoli pack, but happens to fit a hump 6-cell NiMH pack as well. That's why I made the holder walls angled. Even then, the dirt guards on the sides angle up and there are screw lumps where they mount to the chassis and they get in the way. You'd have to raise the battery holder bottom about 9mm to clear the screw lumps and angles. For strength, everything is mounted to the Al bottom, not on the plastic dirt guards.
