Are you making your own battery pack?

No, I just bought one from @monkey32. 9000 mah in 7s2p

Hi Joakim!

I’m using the exact same parts for V2 of my build, except I’m going with li-on batteries and a BMS which gives me a one plug charging solution. For my first build I went with four 5000mah 3S batteries which was a hassle to charge. Go with li-on batteries from start and you’ll be happy that you did! My lipos went puffy after only 20 charges each.

I’m in the process of building my own pack and since I’m located in Sweden I could put yours together too while I’m at it. I’ve already got a spotwelder and I’m just waiting for my BMS and shrink wrap to arrive. PM if you’re interested.

I bought 24 of 18650 batteries to make a 6S4P battery. Then I’m going to pair it with this BMS and charge it using a regular laptop charger.

The batteries+BMS+laptop charger+water resistant ports cost me about $213/1900SEK/1457DKK.

Lipos might seem like cheaper solution but eventually(for me it didn’t take very long) they will break.

Is this a one off sale?

@UniqueSnowflakeN27 I think a lower kv motor with an 8s3p pack would work better, 6s 245 kv is only recommended if you have no hills and a low budget, as it doesn’t give much torque! @ajaynagra he had a couple lying around and he sold both now :confused:

@SirDiff You’re absolutely right! Either way, I can solder it all together if he chooses to go with lion instead of lipo.
