Topic: First race 5th April Northamton

April 5th meeting .......  A mixture of c2K and e2K .......   excellent   well done to all involved, it worked a treat

To save double writing, I left a report here --->   april 5th Northampton
It revolves around my view of the day but I think says how well it all went.

ps Duncan ..... you need slightly bigger batteries   ...

Am I right in thinking that if the battery holds its voltage better under load then it will flatten faster than another one?

I would imagine so as the motor will be doing more work as it will be turning faster.

Dead right mate - if the battery holds a higher voltage the motor will draw a higher current and will therefore flatten quicker. But it will obviously be producing more power 

Nice one, so three would be more than plenty then... was there a particular brand that gave better runs?

I reckon 3 packs and 2 chargers would allow you to run all day - this is what i had and in each session by the time we got to the 4th race my first battery was full again

Norm - nice report mate

Guys - thanks for the positive comments on e2k. Darren, myself and Stu, before he decided it wasn't for him, put in a considerable effort to try to come up with something that would work and yesterday made it all worthwhile - great stuff
