Super Cooper, Dual SS motor, 4 Cell
This was my long work in progress, what initially failed using a SS pcb.
I decided that 3 Cells wasn't enough so I converted to a 4 Cell. After making my first battery pack and installing it, I figured out one of them didn't work. I've never had a battery just become a short, but I was essentially back to a 3 cell.
I tore it apart again and replaced the bad cell. I got it put together and she's running strong now.
On the bottom are two tabs that I use alligator clips to charge the battery with. The stock switch still works. The driveline is really smooth.
It's pretty quick, even on carpet. I'll hopefully get videos up soon. Run times aren't the greatest, but I assumed as much.
Also, it looks like the driveshaft is open in the pictures. The actual driveshaft is actually inside the tube (second piece of an antenna) of the pictures. There is also graphite in there to keep her running smooth.
Stats:
Quad Cell
Dual SS Orange Motor (19000rpm)
Gearing Ratio: 8.4:1 (pictured) or 9.78:1
