TTXGP Today and Tomorrow at Laguna! Woot!

[liveforphysics]

Troy has a bunch of pics I sent him that he can't post because he left the house.

If somebody else has time and skills and is home, let me know and you can the pic hoster/poster for me.

[bigmoose]

Luke, I am now home and can do it.

Every single team is using pouch lipo. All LiCoO2 or NMC. No other cells here.

These bikes are fast enough that the motoGP bikes are taking notice. Missions 133sec is epic.

Fastest motorcycle lap in Laguna history is 1.21sec.

These are very exciting times and that brings a tear to my eyes and makes me so excited. Congrats on the great life man as you start to realize how much fun you are having you might just start to limit you're personal risk taking even if its just a bit!

If you're here Travis, stop by my pit, in wearing a green "I am on Lithium"

Unfortunately Luke, I'm not. Couldn't swing it. Bummer!

Too far and just took a couple mini-vacations.

Just reposting from what I saw on another forum

[bigmoose]

Pix from Luke. The empty connector is their BMS. Luke told me that they were the only team with no BMS related faults!

Dave has some fresh pics with motor carnage!

[Nuts&Volts]

Keep the pics coming, great stuff Luke!

[Harold in CR]

Great pics, Luke and Moose.

Even though it takes me forever, I'm anxiously waiting to view VIDEOS. Yeah, Baby. GO LUKE.

[bigmoose]

Motor Carnage! Melted lead, so prettttttyyy! Luke, it looks like an induction motor! Who is running AC vector control?

Thanks for the pics Luke! The TTxGP USA series looks great

Is that Methy's BMS I spy on the Zero bike?

*Correction: it's on the CRP bikes... getting lost in the white paint schemes*

[grindz145]

That is some gorgeous poly!

(p.s. sorry I left my post )

[liveforphysics]

This is so cool in the pits right now.

We re-valved and re springed our suspension, tuned the controller up a lot, drilled new cooling holes. Other teams all around us are doing similar things. One team smoked 2 agnis. One team smoked an AC50 motor that had huge forced air cooling. A smoked controller or two. BMS failures.

This is racing!

[jonescg]

Hehehe, know the feeling. Hope they don't go smoking too many motors I need some!

[liveforphysics]

Moose has fresh carnage pics.

At least half the field has had various failures and burned things and broken things.

What amazes me, is walking around the motoGP pits foe the gas bikes also shows blown motors and broken parts and charred smoked things and half disassembled bikes laying everywhere, and they are million dollar raceing efforts!

[jonescg]

All their bikes look so much more professional than mine

Oh well. They also have some insane budgets too
