Of course. :wink:

Thanks. We are running Kokam cells in liquid cooled modules.

Team ELMOFO had some success against the gassers in Round 4 of the NSW State Championships Supersport series. Not entirely sure if an electric race car winning a sanctioned race over gas powered cars is a world first as stated.....but doing twice in one day would certainly put it up there...

The strong winds certainly changed the amount of things on display. We, along with most others, had a lot of gear we didn't bring or put up as it would have been blown away. Have other commitments this weekend, but will try to get out to the go-kart track sometime Sunday afternoon.

Thank you. Yes....required Engineering Certification which was pretty involved. All points that needed to be satisfied made sense from a safety perspective. The VCSS Engineer that certified the vehicle had not done an EV conversion before so was very thorough. Just when it seemed that we were...

The amount of regen is adjustable. I typically have it set to give about 30 to 50 Amps which is quite a comfortable retardation level. This level requires much less use of the brakes, but doesn't try to launch you through the windscreen. :-) The A123s seem to handle that easily. I haven't...

Will be at the show on Sat 18th only. Joining some mates in the Variety Children's Charity Bash the next day (not in this car) so won't be able to stick around for the challenges unfortunately. See you at the show.

We are pretty busy, but give us a call if you would like to have a look at the vehicle and we'll work something out, but note that it will be at the Hunter Valley EV Show in Newcastle on Aug 18th. With regards to the range, the 150km would be a pretty accurate estimate. I have so far driven a...

Our local News done a story on our Electric Delorean tonight. For any that are interested, it can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/0cQVFc6CrMc Cheers, Sutho

The speedo has both kph and mph. The standard DeLorean speedo only goes up to 85mph....not 95mph as per the movies. This was due to some safety campaign in the US back in the 80's where they thought that having high numbers on speedos was encouraging people to try to reach those high speeds, so...

The motor provides 500Nm torque, so the acceleration is great. :) I still have a bunch of A123 modules here that I will be playing with in the near future. I will report back when I have pulled one down.

Maybe this is because they have a new pouch cell they are producing? See: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/a123-says-battery-technology-evs-143720612.html

The motor is great. It has a stack of torque and makes some really cool sounds. :D I will send you a PM of some other details.

A few months back I was among the "unhappy campers" purchasing A123 modules from Victpower for use in my electric vehicle project. While my business dealings with them were frustrating and disappointing to say the least, I am pleased to report that I managed to pull together enough modules to...
