Ryan,
I will PM the pics. I'm sure he won't mind, but let me ask him if it is OK to forward his information to you, just as a courtesy as he has been very generous in sharing his experience.
On a separate note, I tried a little experiment tonight with the car my friend has. We took my best spare battery, charged it up, and made his car 84-volt. I have heard of others doing this, but I don't know if anyone has done it with field weakening. The car gained 3-5 mph. The road we speed test on is a slight hill, about 3/4 mile long. We got the car about 46 MPH going down, and more impressively it accelerated to 37 MPH going up the hill. Previously it would only do ~33 MPH up that same hill. We don't if we will keep the car like this for a variety of reasons (motor health, charging, looks like hell), but it makes that car move!
