Good job! I'm also curios how many stops the nitros made. I'm guessing a couple chanced with 3 and some went safe with 4. From what I've seen they generally pit at about 7 minute intervals. Did you infact do this with MA packs?

Yes, I use Maxamps 6s 3250mah batteries. With 6s the current is low and it does not take as much punch. My batteries never get over 100F. I always get a solid 15min race level performance out of this system. I change my batteries every 15min. Keep in mind the heats are only 5min. If you run larger batteries, you are just caring around extra wight. The car actually corners and performs better.

Congrats, maybe electric does have the upper hand over nitro on certain length races. Only having to pit once compared to 3-4 times is better, even if it takes longer. I have an idea for a quick change lipo tray, maybe I should do more work on it. Good thing Mike is sending me some more kydex...

This is good for electrics! Great job, sparky.

A while back Serum came up with a quick-change battery tray system, but to my knowledge it was never produced. I have the PDF on my other computer, I can upload it here.
