Yah, your Fighter was just a little under powered, but it was a race between you and the E Pit bike. Clearly you were the better rider making up ground on him in the corners and he out accelerating you. I think if you had my Flux Alpha, it would have been closer. Granted with things turned up to the max I am only seeing 11.6 KW bursts, but that would have been more than enough to be up the butt's of the 15kw Raptors. Nicely done. Thanks for posting the video, I enjoyed watching it.
I was stressed, that's for sure! It was like something out of mission impossible with the % complete bar slowly ticking along while the heavily armed guards approached down the corridorQuietRush wrote:Heh, I can vouch for how close to the wire Jay went, only just made it onto the track. Wish I'd done some vid of his last minute scrutineering and prep scramble.
Sketch and Matt were prepping and testing their bikes for weeks before events, buying fat moto slicks and setting their suspension for the track. In usual fashion I tried to throw something together a few nights before and was still finishing off the morning of the race Next year, prepare for loudspeakers and flight of the bumblebee blasting out!I wondered if he was playing me a distracting audio file to lull me into a false sense of security
Yeah it was weird, I had power until about 50-60ks and then nothing. One one lap I was right up your bum down the straight but didnt have the speed to get past. The next lap I managed to carry a bit more speed out of the last corner and pulled in front down the straight.He consistently out-accelerated me on every corner that I managed to catch him on though, so congrats Jay
Same, it made me ride very gingerly! Until Ripperton came past in the practise laps and then I couldn't help my self but chase after him like a dog chasing a carAfter seeing how smashed up Andy was, I was definitely not wanting to push to limits of traction too often.
Definitely. If for no other reason that it's fun to ride as a group! In the practise sessions a few of us were pulling over to catch up with the other riders. As you said it's a bit boring when you're either way in front or way at the back. I'm not sure how they originally came up with the 1500 number but maybe a mid and high powered class would be in order ? Or set power and speed limits in the CAs to enforce closer racing ?Jay - I reckon some though needs to be given to a bit of power homologation to keep the racing a bit closer - thoughts?
I will snap a pic of my data screen.Allex wrote:11,6kW?Rix wrote:

Hm, thats 11600Watts/65V nominal(18s) would be 178Amps And thats 178A/7p=25Amps per 30Q cell!
Hm Are you sure about this Rick?
Was it the first mile after a full charge? I saw big differences trying to get full power within the first couple of km after fully charging my battery.Rix wrote: //////Edit again////
Maybe I am not full of $h!t, I just reset all my values and did another speed run with the same setting I had the other day. I pulled 11.0kw and 59.8MPH, here is a crappy screen shot.
..... now I know why I wanted a new battery made with 30Q 
Ciao Simone, this was the best way I have ever seen to collect black berries. BTW, do Mirto Berries grow wild over on the mainland like then do in Sardegna and south Corsica?bigbore wrote:Was it the first mile after a full charge?

Assuming the cells at 4,0V it would be 11000W/72V = 152A/7p = 22A
But anyway do you think this can be classified as a Stealth Bomber at work?
Me and my wife are both greedy of blackberries and this place is quite difficult to reach for common people and therefore I find a mountain of blackberries

As far as I know, Stealth only sells through its numerous dealers in the US, no direct sale.FL bomber wrote:Is stealth accepting credit card payments again last time I tried to order something they were not processing International credit cards or is there a new USA distributor for them?
Yes Stealth can accept CC, I purchased my Fighter and Bomber on CC. Yes there is going to be a new US Stealth Headquarters out of Poctello Idaho with plans to transition to Boise Idaho in the future as well. And new Dealers are starting to pop as well. With in the next couple of weeks, we should see Tahoe Stealth Electric bikes out of Truckee Nevada opening.FL bomber wrote:Is stealth accepting credit card payments again last time I tried to order something they were not processing International credit cards or is there a new USA distributor for them?
What a coincidence, I just got the new/old redesigned originally designed seat frame for my Alpha today. Way Better, will post pics on the FUTR thread.one4torque wrote:RIX - hellz yeah! Just got my seat frame from stealth today.... fasted shipping via DHL express. I'm back in the game on purple SB178!
I wouldn't call you crazy except you just painted it that pretty purple color, but I get the Rat Rod concept, would look tough, talking "ROAD WARRIOR" tough.one4torque wrote:Call me crazy.... but I'm thinking I might strip down my purple bomber..... to bare metal... and then clear the metal...... rat-rod style.
I'm kind of digging the exposed welds of the seat frame....... and want the same for the whole frame. No scratches EVER!
Watched your video again, you were having alot of fun. It looked like a good time.QuietRush wrote:For those who are curious to know what the 1500Wh Racing class in the HunterEVFestival is like from the riders perspective, I've put up full race footage from rider briefing, warm up lap to race end and track exit. Should give you a feel for what it's like from the back end of the pack..awesome race this year, but it's got me thinking some more about homologation to keep it a more level playing field to keep the racing closer and more interesting. If only they were all Stealth Fighters..but we had a mix of Raptors, Flux, Braaps and my Stealth Fighter demo (at 3.5kW, instead of current 3.7kW - not that it would have made a scrap of difference against 15kW peaks from the Raptors).
Sketch Coleman edited all the footage he could find of the race. I'm sure you will recognize the intro.Rix wrote:Watched your video again, you were having alot of fun. It looked like a good time.

Didn't catch the differences. Got close ups, 1-4-T n Rix?
