Sojhinn that really helps add color to the install instructions. Good stuff and thanks for taking your own time to do that. Beer's on me!

I'll take you up on the offer soon. But come down to San Diego much better beers here.

Great video, I owe you a beer next time I'm in San Diego!

One minor note though. When disconnecting the battery, you want to remove the negative terminal first, not the positive terminal. The reason is that most of the metal surfaces on the car are grounded to the negative terminal, so if you're wrenching on the positive terminal first and you slip and touch any metal, you might create a short and spot weld your wrench to the car!

When reconnecting the battery, do it in reverse. Positive first, then negative.

Crap you are right. I said it the wrong way. Fixing video.

Just a thought I had while watching that video (thanks Sojhinn, that'll be helpful when I get my kit!) and getting a feel for the battery sizes: The 1.5 pack, with the two small batteries stacked on top of each other, is the same width(ish) as one of the normal dump batteries. Has anyone tried replacing the normal dump batteries with two more sets of the 1.5 pack? (6 little batteries total.) If not, why not?

How would you wire them, in parallel or in series? If you wire them is parallel you wouldn't get any more amperage as the smaller batteries are 1/2 the amperage as the larger ones...so two small batteries in series equals one larger battery.

If you wire the smaller batteries in series you will increase the voltage to either 36v or 48v (at 1/2 the amperage). Since the controller is designed for a 24v system, you will destroy the electronics in the controller in about 100ms.

It's current we crave. The more amperage available, the longer we can run the the ESC motor - at voltage closer to 28vdc.
