Interesting video of a guy that converted his 1972 Datsun 210 to run on batteries. He takes it to the track and smokes a late model Corvette as well as a BMW. It broke several speed and time records for an electric vehicle that particular day. It is a must watch kind of video. Enjoy it.
Is it a life-sized slot car racer now?

Cool.
Awesome.
I used to have an old Datsun B210 in high school. I put it through He!!
Saw the video a couple weeks ago on a OPB program...one part that stuck out was that it took him an hour to recharge the lithium battery packs after each quarter mile run of 0-100+mph in 11 seconds...they also showed a electric powered motorcycle that had anti tip outriggers because of the acceleration. I have been tinkering with a 24 volt electric scooter that goes from 0-12mph so fast that it almost throws you off the back of the seat...I had been considering changing over to lithium packs, but, I think I will have to install a better throttle control first.
You should be the guy they talk to when they want a GT version of the Segway.
I promise to give the first GT Segway to Obama.
Good plan. Give one to the whole Obama cabinet while you’re at it.
that was cool!
I had a 69 510. Tough little car. I took off the air pump and put a header on it. Drove it through college. Little sucker could take a beating.
