Hey Ziggy! Don't worry, I already have that spreadsheet...but stupidly, I only have Works Spreadsheet and it won't open it right. It opens, but without the graphs etc (ironically I can view the whole thing fine on my phone, but not edit it). So I've not been able to really scientifically come up with a requirement. Just out of interest, what car specifications did you put into the spreadsheet?

I've just based my power requirements off of wht other people have run. I've heard people say you need all sorts of different levels of power to reach a certain speed, so I've just gone with a setup that will definitely have enough power; if it's a bit hot to handle, I can dial some of it out via the ESC and my radio. It's all dependent on current, anyway...with "only" 6S LiPo, it should have the uncontrollable bursts of power tha a truly HV system might, but as the power requirement goes up,the cells can just push out more and more current.

That's my theory anyway lol! Thanks for taking the time to use the spreadsheet file though...some more info on what you put in would be really useful. :)
