Gotta fix the slipping when launching... When that is fixed you can get closer to 3 seconds with same motor. Either use overpressure or solid rubber tires to increase traction... I remember using well over 2 bars on my 13" wheels. Even then I had to use 4th gear to get the best traction.

Thanks for all the videos and congratulations on the 100K. It's always a great pleasure to see your beautiful conversions and I think, at least for me, your channel does more for electric vehicles than big advertising campaigns and well-intentioned information. I really like cars from before the mid-1970s, so your choice of cars has been absolutely perfect in my opinion. The Beetle and the Landrover made me laugh out loud. I would much rather drive the Beetle than VW's new electric models. If it has to be exotic, it could be fun to see an electric Saab 92-94 - the oldest model. Once you get started with a very French vehicle it will be fantastic to see an electric Citroen DS.

Not sure why some LFP batteries say there is a limit to the size of the pack, say a 12v limited to 4s4p at 48v for example. Physical battery design? The BMS hardware or software? What makes that same battery pack a bad idea at 12s12p for example to get up to 144vdc? Any good links or a quick summary to help out?
