They are quite happy for to try and break them - that's more or less why I have it - race it and hard.

I just tore it up and down the street for a few minutes (wheelies were good fun) and the motor was warmish bot no noticeable heat in the cells.

I will take it down the field later if I get time and see how it copes with the draggy grass.

No mention of a cool down period - I told their tech guys what I had planned and they said fine, go for it.

Obviously no one yet knows if I will be able to do 2 runs on one pack but the match races are 4 minutes so I am guessing I can.

This pack is rated for a 10 amp charge rate - yes TEN.

For arguments sake it will take 30 minutes to charge up to 80 ish % and then another 20 ish to top up - BUT - the voltage out is the same at 80% charge as a 100% charge so you don't need it 'peaked' as such.
