    Like Sal said!!! I had a similar issue. I killed the battery, put on a conventional charger and got it running. Then I noticed a "Swelled" battery case. I guess not all lithium batters burst into flames when abused. PSA. Don't mess with a...

    I will say this though....do NOT let this battery overheat. Charge it S-L-O-W..... I let mine go dead running the electric water pump and then started the motor without letting the battery cool off and the alternator was enough to cook the...

    Run a secondary ground from the battery to the engine mount bolt with the current main harness ground. If the car stalls hot on track, you will have a tough time getting a restart with the current configuration. I blew 300A fuses twice until I...

    It was meant as a joke, but yes, there are infrared tire temp sensor arrays - F1 teams use them. "Cheap enough" is a relative term.https://www.izzeracing.com/products/infrared-temperature-sensors.html...

    That's the smallest plastic ATV battery box I could find and the battery is tiny so that box is stuffed with foam. The frame I made from aluminum angle and the hold down is 1/8" stainless steel strap. Been rocking that setup since the 2021 racing... (see full post)

    In my case when it stuck I had to shut the car off and restart it to restore function. Fun on track. Could not find any leaks and fluid level was normal. Drove fine on the road. Stuck again on track at high rpm. Went through this. Cycle 3-4 times...

    I ran the Bridgestone RS 295/35/18 and they were great. I have since gone up to the Toyo R 305/35/18 and I like them even more.My time attack rules changed over the winter and I could now run a 40tw and stay in my same class (see full post)
