The plan for the next phase is to use a Siamese motor set up (two motors end to end).  This will double the torque but half the top speed.  But since this was never an issue I will take the extra torque.  

At the moment the electric motor consumes 500 amps on acceleration.  That is more than the batteries  can comfortably handle and I am at the maximum output the controller handles.  So next round I plan to use 60 amp-hr CALB cells.   At a 4 C rating they should be able to handle the 250 amps/string needed.  That is double the rating of the current ThunderSky batteries.
