ohh, see I thought 69k1100 was saying "I feel like Sam Neil" in the same way you'd say "I feel like a cup of coffee"...

:D

I'm rather partial to LiFePO4 batteries at the moment. Super light, very high power density, massive peak energy outputs from basic batteries, and are quite safe.

A wounded LiPo battery will flare up like magnesium and at the least bulge like a balloon wrecking their mounts.
LiFePo4 won't do this.

Brushless DC motors and DC to 3Phase AC converters are amazingly efficient and cheap these days as well. Its a golden age for electric conversions. Everything electric is on the up and up.

There was an interesting electric Mini (Clubbie) at Mini 50. Maybe Watto has a reference to an article/photos etc??

Cheers, Ian

I meant Sam Neil as in Jurassic park, as this thread was pulled from the grave by a spam bot and I got sucked in.
