ok so yea.... the batteries in the pic are 12lbs each X 6 - 35 (using two of the six to replace the stock battery) and you have 37lbs, 10 for cables, 42 for s/c.... 89lbs total. and you have a fairly even distrobution of the added weight.

good questions, questions i'd also like answered, hopefully he shows up.
k so you take out your primary battery and replace it with these six.....you go to a 15-second shot and drain the batteries.....you accidently or for some reason your car shuts off....now your screwed cause your batteries are dead. But can you replace it with these six???? I think I read somewhere that they are wired up to be 24-volts, not 12-volts of the car. Man talk about really melting your headling harness. :P

Edit: yep can't remove the car battery and use the sc batts for the car, "The stock battery will be replaced by a high output battery, and the additional batteries will supply the higher voltage necessary to run the ESC." They just recommend switching to an Odyssey battery for your car to save some weight over other batteries. [/b][/quote]
the batteries are seperated, i think he has 8 total, 6 for the esc, and the other two for the car.

the motors for the esc take the 24v (and 36v in some of his models), and the batteries are wired directly into the motors, NOT your vehicles electric system.

he also said in another thread that he did swap his battery for two oddessy's. i'm not sure where you got your info, or if he's using different batteries than the ones powering the s/c, but i was under teh impression that they were the same.
