Have added a few photos to my album of my six cell electric car.
I don't think the speed of your setup will be the main difference between your and Pascal's or my set-up, but the handling will be a huge difference.

The mid battery set-up we are using, gives way better car handling, and therefor lower lap times.

Every car I have seen with the Lipo's on the side of the car, has to much chassisroll, and slides around the track.

Look at the handling of my car, and the posted links of video's of pascal's equipment, and you will see what I mean....
