Why did you need 32 minutes in lap 370, it seems to take about 10 minutes normally to change the battery?

That was due to the contractor failure in one of our packs. We decided to pull in and let the next battery charge up more so that we could be on track for the checkered flag. We calculated ...

We ended up setting the new EV distance record at 1094.5 miles! Really stoked for that. We also finished 7th in class which is amazing for us considering we effectively have only 60hp when we're trying to drive efficiently.

We made a ton of aero mods to the car from the front splitter, flat bottom ...

We just passed 1041 miles! Still holding onto 7th in class, 38 overall. Hour and fifteen minutes left in the race. We are on track to finish. About an hour ago we lost one battery due to the contractor welding closed so we're down to 2 batteries but should still make it to the checkered.

Yeah I will put together some info this coming week after the race. Stay tuned. Tyler and Nick who started Team Arcblast spent a lot of time with Lemons officials over the past 3-4 years collaborating on the EV safety rules to satisfy them.

Up to 7th in class and setting a new EV Lap Record every ...

We are still racing! 9 hours left. Things are going pretty dang good, holding down 9th in class and avoiding contact.

We're in place 45 overall, 8th in class! So far the battery chargers have been keeping up even with throwing the breakers multiple times per hour. Been running 10 hours straight so far going into the night shift.

The stream has been touch and go. Unfortunately due to poor cell service here, half ...

Follow along with Team Arcblast for the next 25 hours and 1 minute of racing with our EV converted Datsun pickup at Thunderhill Raceway.

The racecar is powered by custom batteries that we swap out during pit stops. Hyper9 ...

Thanks @robertwa!

Two days left to get in your orders!

Thanks to those of you who have made orders or otherwise reached out about the group buy. Here's some answers publicly for others' benefit:

I'll be accepting payments through my company, EVSwap LLC. You can feel comfortable I won't run off with the cash, plus you know where to find me :lol ...

Sweet, I didn't realize that. I guess in that case you could use their gauges for just about anything on CAN.

Congrats on your 11! That's so cool that Freiburger remembers your car. It does look a little unstable at the top end, but that's probably 1940s aero more than anything. Once you get CCS working hopefully that will make 2025 less stressful.

Hi all,
I have the opportunity to offer a group buy on Speedhut Gauges and other accessories. The discount will be 20% off the listed price on www.speedhut.com

Speedhut is a great company out of Utah, USA. They make all sorts of custom gauges, dash faces, digital dashboards, speedometer correction ...

This is a great idea and not only that but a great deal on Nissan LEAF 62kwh parts!

Well my part of the project is winding down. Between Dave and I we put over 1000 miles on the truck since it showed up at my shop. Dave got stranded the other week and I had to go rescue him. The ignition fuse I was using to power the Resolve-EV kept blowing on us, there was a dead short somewhere ...

My friend Matt and I did a range test with the Frontier EV. We were able to do 114 miles and we calculated we probably could have done 129 total if we ran it all the way down to zero. Speeds were mostly 55-65 but we did get up to 75 MPH in a few places. Overall a good usable range test. Likely, Dave ...

Very nice Build! How did you mount the cells inside the box? Just squeezed in? I see no bolts, just checked your videos.
Did you use extra bolts on the compression plates?


Just seeing this now. The stacks fit really snugly end-to-end, so the bolts basically bottom out and hold it in that ...

I seen your presentation on youtube and you talked about the Resolve guys working on VW ID3/4 ect integration. How far along with this are they? I have looked into what it would take to crack the components in the past and was deterred by the fact the Inverter works with the immobiliser system in ...

Dave took his truck to SoC24 and Electrify Expo this week (I also took my land cruiser but who cares). I met a lot of you and also fans of my channel. It's so awesome to have all this interest and to meet everyone. Thanks for coming out it really means a lot! If I didn't get a chance to talk to you ...

It was really great to meet you and see the other cars. The Skyline was my favorite, I can't believe he fit all that power and AWD in there.

Glad you liked my presentation! I really enjoyed yours, it is clear you are a die hard gearhead with the amount of dedication, blood, sweat and tears needed ...

Tires are 205/65/16 or about 26.5" diameter

Turns out 1st gear is good for 65 MPH at 10,000 RPM! In 2nd it can cruise easily at 75 MPH at 6,500 RPM. Almost feels like we need shorter rear-end gearing to get the full potential out of it.

Using the tachometer I was able to confirm the final drive ratio is 3.7:1, which is correct for this make ...

Come see the Frontier EV at Electrify Expo Denver this weekend!

Got the Speedhut tachometer installed in the Frontier today. So cool! Can't wait to go drive and test it out. So far it works in the workshop free revving.

pulling the trans forward and down would allow it ...

thank you Jimmy, are you implying that Tesla and Nissan use the same BOSCH pumps? I am not questioning you just asking since I know noffin' about the Leaf pumps, I do however run the Tesla Model S pump in my truck and it works great, I just wanted to use as much Prius junk in the Rabbit as ...

Tesla/LEAF pumps will run at a constant speed with just 12v.

Wow at the bids already! I'm rooting for you, really curious to see how this does on BaT! Did you set a reserve?
