For battery we have access for car cell which can discharge many A. Is flat pack lithium ion pack but very powerful. Better to using than polymer pouch which is hobby grade. You need better battery for race.

Nice! Once you find time and we can chat about the design etc… I think it would be easy to make it usable for liion packs and lipo since they are both very big. @jeffwuneo @KfromtheBay
For sure we can work out some dimensions. I’m thinking high discharge 21700 cells will be the way to go. Need to have something that can fit at least a 4p of 30A cells I’m thinking as a minimum. May have to explore stagger stack

Hmm… @KfromtheBay could you mind giving me the estimated dimensions of that? Here’s what I’m working with on my side for the battery dims. (Dims = dimensions)
Battery Dims: (8s 22AH True 40c lipo)
158mm x 59mm x 161mm
Esc Dims: (this is for dual CC Mamba xlx)
Length: 4.75"
Width: 4.5” (ish)
Height: 1.73"
(I’ll check this thread in da mornin)
Flat pack is rather large. But if clearance is no issue, a DS would be the way to go.
SS 12s4p of 21700:
168x420x21mm
Or DS:
168x210x42mm
Final packs would have some added height and sliver of width from wrapping and wiring

I always assumed it was Northern California but I looked it up this time.
I’m surprised there’s no SouCal.
Let it be today.

Google info failing that is. It specifically mentions NorCal but no SoCal.

We call it slow-cal. But, NorCal races? I might show up somewhere to watch. I’m sure some locals will be going to race tho.

regarding alleycat racing in san francisco (btw i got 1st place once and organized a couple)… one of the largest turnouts ive ever seen for one of those events wasn’t a race at all it was a group ride from ice cream store to ice cream store… promoted inclusivity by downplaying the racing aspect

one of the alleycats i organized was called “get to the chopper” - and the finish line was a helipad in sausalito with a helicopter waiting for the 1st male & 1st female
