I would use two more if you're set on using lead and your controller will handle it. Sag is HORRIBLE! Mine will sag to 30% or so on hard accell.
the main resin for lead is $3000 or $20000 for lithium next change maybe

You can get lithium 200ah which triples the mileage at half the weight for about 12500 Calb. Mine will be delivered the 21st.
I Have a 15mile round trip to work and home they will do till i have lithium's
Yea, 20-30% sag sounds about right. I'm running #20 6v ( 120v) in a small truck 9" motor and I routinely sag to 100-106 on accel. and hills. I can only imagine what the Lipo's must be like with no sag. With a fresh top charge I get great accell which is VERY short lived untill the dreaded sag occurs. If you have the $$$$$ Lipo's are definately the way to go. Mind I'm not really unhappy with my lead, just droooooling over the Lipo's performance:D
