RC lipo and most other types of Lithium batteries you MUST know your individual cell voltages while charging and discharging.
Batteries of all kinds need respect they can burn your house down, so don't sleep with them under your bed or any other were you cant afford smoke or fire!

Arlo1, I'm glad to see you got this thing up and running. When I was talking to you on the phone you were in a bit of a hurry so I'm glad to see it worked out really well. I want to see some video of this thing tearing around, sounds like a lot of fun

Ive got a little bit of video. But it doesn't look exciting because of the way the suspension works it really plants the tires into the ground and just launches. No wheel spin I bet if it was a kart without suspension it would spin!
I found last night while showing it to the how rod club it was a bit slower. But I have a feeling the reversing contactor is oxidized causing pour contact (gave me problems in reverse the other day). I also have not even had time to test the range on the throttle. They were still very impressed. I am going to spend the next couple weeks with the kids making it better and make it look a little nicer. Then we will remove the reversing contactor to do the drag thing. I will get more video too. One of the funny things is it tops out at ~40 mph but because it gets there so fast and so smooth it leaves you wondering am I really going very fast. I will bump the voltage one day but for now I am going to just make sure we are at the limit with amps. IM very excited for this. Its as fun as my bmx!!! Or funner because I can go strait up any hill like a rocket off road style!
