One year maybe I'll get around to insulating those poor floodies...

Yep I will post them once I get a better drawing of them. I have to find part numbers and stuff because I did not buy any of control circuit parts, I have been hitting the supply room at school and the electronic salvage yard.
Insulation alone only keeps the heat in for so long with my EV. The heater pads should do wonders on keeping these guys above 70F.
I can't wait to get nice warm weather and have lower rolling resistance! I have already calculated a 19% improvement in performance when I changed to a Zilla and upgraded the suspension, and that was in 35F weather!
