So I assume no one uses LiPo batteries? Any reason why you can't?
Only thing I can think of is maybe recharging. Its also hard to find the right voltage.What is the under and over voltage of the controller? You could do (4) 7.2V packs. Thats 28.8 V.

Need a lipo charger for lipo batteries. The controller isn't setup for it. Plus lipo is much more sensitive to heat. And our engine bay gets fricking hot. Is it possible? Yeah. Will it do better performance? Probably because it makes a huge difference for my rc cars and planes. Is it best for our setup? Eh. Between cost and performance increase probably not.

Yeah I figured charging was the issue.
I might do a dual dump setup (4X) after a while with car audio batteries. There pretty narrow I maybe able to fit them plus the start all in front be about 15 inches. Not wanting to relocate the starter outside the engine bay. I just want that voltage to stay more stable. Its drops to 21-22V that means there isnt enough capacity.

LiPo's are way too expensive. LiOn's would be the way to go. The only advantage lithium polymer has over lithium ion is weight. That's why they are used in RC airplanes and helicopters. A large enough LiPo to use with the ESC would probably cost a thousand dollars or more.

Might be ok with just 10ah still ~30 seconds of boost. The amp dump is way, way faster too at 30C on average. I bet the voltage would not drop much. If the boost level would go up or not is a different story...

Those are alot cheaper but don't dump enough amps it seems. Most are like 6C. So you would need ~40 ah. (40 x 6) = 240 amps for 4000watts.

The other thing about LIPO's is their tendency to burst into flame. With the constant charging and discharging they're almost guaranteed to burn your car down. Just look at the "hoverboards".

Anyone set full activation at 50% throttle? Not sure what issues this would cause..I'm sure you could tune it right.
