well no nkon anything anymore.
So I’m kinda thinking about getting one of these boxes of 200 VTC6. kinda the best option around at the moment.

yeah why not. I wouldn´t worry too much about either 30q or vtc6, both are good cells for mtb stuff.

Yeah 200 is almost the perfect number of cells for my plans I think. 96 in a 12S8P and two 12S4P or 10S5P
two 10S5P packs would be cool, I could put them in series for 20S experiments.
Why not 30T? true 35 amp cell. mmmm
Because bigger, heavier and more expensive

The power. They are only a little bit bigger. To be perfectly honest 4k us gets you whatever you want. Personally speaking I would build 2 with that. One street and one off road.

And then you would have only one since the wife would steel the other

But you know, at a pack size of 8p plus there is no need for real 35a discharge. Not for a dual drive. Sure you can, just there other ways to spend your money on

21700 just makes high P packs so expensive compared to the usable capacity gained.
Then again $4,000

Same capacity as 30q but more discharge means less stress and less sag.

Yeah the stress and sag goes into your bank account.
Board comes out great though.
I wonder if nkon will make a comeback. I would be surprised if they faired well reducing their customer base.

True that lol
Arjan is a one man band and maybe his market in the eu is big enough to support what he wants
idk?
Sometimes the strain of over reaching can be counter productive and I would think the US has some pretty strict import laws regarding things that can blow up. Maybe he is just simplifying. Again I don’t know.
I do know he had to partner up with a German firm to get around some things. Maybe it just became unfeasible.
