No! I am SOOOO looking forward to seeing how well they do! I finally got around to putting them in tonight, so I'll find out tomorrow (I wasn't able to drive the EV today). I took out the two best batteries in my pack and put in the Orbitals- they are so much lighter it's great! I could actually see the difference in the height of the back after putting them in. Also, pack voltage went up about a volt; it's sitting at 77.6v. I like the fact that those batteries are sealed and can be put in any position- I might just see if I can rig some way to get all 6 under the hood. I have the rack for 4 batteries all cut and ready for welding. Then I can set up my blower, then my potbox Man, I can't believe I've been driving this thing with all that's still left to do.....

I sure am curious to see how great your car will perform when you get that Zilla!
