You can get more space by rotating the modules 90 degress and alternating. I’m doing a 10s3p like this:

Alternating ? How would it work with the Bus Connectors and caps? (I’m planning on using NESE Modules.
I’m trying to accomplish what @uigiroux did here:
Though looking at it now it seems that I didn’t read it correctly. the first 5 modules were 4P + 4P with the last one being 2s4p.
SO instead Mine Should be more like:
right?
Could you show me na illustration of what you mean by alternating?
You bend the bus connectors, and the plastic caps won’t work really 
The hex keys show how long a pack done the normal way would be for reference.

Thank you! Huh interesting (I’m still reading up on batteries so I’m still new this)
I’m not able to import files yet since I’m still waiting of my student credentials to go through so the ports of where the connections go are wacky, but should I assume the compartment will look like this?:
I’m a bit confused about how theater connections play with the rest of the arrangement
is this a xP + xP pack in the middle with the outer NESE’s being 2sxp’s?
edit: just noticed I labeled the positive and negatives wrong, fixing now
Yes, middle pack is 3P + 3P, and all other packs are 2s3P.
Hmm, if your renders are correct ( I don’t have the deck on me ), then maybe I won’t be able to get away with simple 90degree bends of the original buses. Might need to get custom ones 
Related: Can’t wait to see the new 21700 NESE modules, I think I might be able to fit a 12s2p instead, which would give me a sliver more of range, but more importantly, higher voltage 
Awesome that’s the size of the NESE packs in the render with the bolts on.
Edit: I was wrong, the render above was for 2s2p’s and 2p + 2p’s
The Positive and Negative Terminals aren’t in the right locations. Once Shapr3d approves my Education License , I’ll import the real module’s or fix the location. If you can measure the arraignment from the end to end I can tell you if it lints and if the 90 Degree is possible (or at the very least the distance from the positive to the the negative.
I can measure for you , are you using the same layout?
For the Terminal touching the middle part are you not going to put a screw on it ? What about the outer Terminals?

Yes, terminals touching the middle get nothing. Outer terminals all have screws.The outer terminals closest to the middle are used for the balance wires.
I figure if the bends aren’t possible like I showed in my pic, then I’ll just rotate the bus piece by 180 degrees. Won’t be as compact though. Or maybe the 21700 12s2p modules will fit better with this weird configuration 
Another layout (that I know fits), is ||||_
and then you would place the ESC sideways, and BMS on the slope part of the enclosure.

I’m good, thanks. Unless you want to know the measurements for yourself, then I’d be more than happy to measure them for you

Fiddled some more. I used 3Dhubs to get a close but still imprecise measurements:
I don’t think a 2s3p Alt Arrangement would fit though:
Two Vertical 2s3p enclosures measure up to 148.4mm (74.2mm + 74.2mm)
According to the dimension by Jeff:
The compartment space for the battery is at most 160.84mm long. that leaves only 12.44mm of play room:
I can only imagine 27100 being bigger. I think I’m going to stick with 8s3p since it’s the cleanest configuration:
If I’m hard pressed for speed I can always add a 3p module :

which batteries are those
Just took them out the box to mount them and noticed it. Shaft is bent and a couple threads looked crossed. Bearing won’t even slide over.

i replied to wrong pic, sorry
ah yes that’s the pic
What is it? Direct drive?
Yeah it’s direct drive, arrived with a bent shaft and some crossed threads. Bummed as today was gonna be a build day and tomorrow a have fun day.
