Show me your E8 quick release design. Need some Ideas
For the guys with the e8's with a quick release I want to see your designs. After seeing a 50 second pitstop this weekend in the A main I need to get this down to 20-30 sec. Lets see what you got!

how long do you need to race for? With the right setup, you should be able to run a 20 minute main. Cheaper and more reliable than trying to design a qucik release mechanism.
Single strap down the middle with velcro to hold the body on and no or one body clip. Shouldn't take much longer than 20 seconds or so.

Nope. I have run a single lengthwise velcro strap for two years and never had a problem. It probably just take some practice. The one race I did a 30 minute main with a battery swap it couldn't have took it more than 20 seconds. The hardest part was not having butterfingers pluggin the battery back in.

I have one strap, a strip of velcro running the length of the pack, and my body is held on by velcro. I've got it down to about 20 seconds, but the pack will make an entire 15 minute main. If I entered a race longer than that, I might take the time to improve it. I'm pretty much stuck racing against nitro cars, and that's the only reason I can think of to bother with something beyond what I've done.
