When you break down the Dewalt packs to get the cells, the paper cylinder outers on them are very good for gluing using basic wood glue. I would guess that with the extra length of the 8th, you could probably go 4s2p.

I was using the available space under the top plate, extending out toward the body. Do you have a photo of your 835 with the cells in it?
I just want to reiterate that I need to be able to RACE continuously for 15 mins (10 mins. minimum) I'm not interested in just doing speed runs.
I have also found out that a high performance nitro engine out of a 1/8 can produce nearly 3HP. Is 2237.0996 Watts out of the question? Of course this would not be continuous.
