Newbie with electric power questions on scratch built cat.

Impressive. What's the application?

no application. just always wanted to build a miniature V8 engine.

I would file that under the application: Because I could.

its very much like a full size engine. in addition to the supercharger being functional. its electric start, cast iron sleeved cylinders, cast iron piston rings, roller cam and lifters, roller rocker arms, functioning water pump and distributor. ignition is handled by an electronic CDI ignition module. similar to what I use on the large scale gas powered air planes I fly.

Now that sir, is impressive. Being a small block chev lover this tweaks me in a good way. PLEASE post when running.

As far as your build, keep the wires as short as possible where possible, even #cell batteries have less wire then uneven counts(this is due to layout). So for 10s run a 4s and a 6s rather than 2 5s packs.
And Flier 16s 300amp ESC's seem to be holding up well. Hifie Swordfish and I believe Seaking are working on bigger better things in the very near future.
