Thanks guys, seated brushes for 10 hours today. Wait till you see the ram air system I am hosing the the motors for cooling, the faster I go the more air on the comm and brushes.

Sorry guys, was ready to hit the track Saturday everyone showing and another delay popped up. It is now being repaired, hopefully hit the track very soon.

Hopefully that just means that it runs perfect the first time! Go break some records!

Those are nice looking brush holders!

Are you going to advance the timing a little more since you are pulling so many more amps than normal?

It is a racing secret. I may or may not, LOL. I must find the edge when possible. These massive "beefy" holders with 1/0 cable to each holder will allow me to pump more amps/ volts into the motor.

Tom Brunka at Helwig Carbon has done detailed testing on the Netgain Warp motors and has reduced as many "weak" spots as he can find. These holders have been custom designed by Tom working with George Hamstra. I am also using the 49 brush for racing. I owe them both oodles!

The Camaro's tunnel which was made of tin, will now be custom designed out of clear lexan to remove any chances of the external wiring of touching. Lexan is approved by the NHRA.

Front brush holders installed, very easy. Moved the first motor forward after disconnecting the coupler (not easy in car). Will install the second set for the rear motor tomorrow. External wiring is going to be a challenge, but I have some good ideas. The large 1/0 wire I am now using to connect each holder will not fit in the bell housing, so they must be external. Tom Brunka (Helwig) gave me some great ideas, the new holders are coated with silver (like my bus bars).

Pictures soon!
