I'd like to see the battery setup it uses to power all those electric motors. Very cool. :thumbs:

Think a regular car battery would do it? Maybe even a lawnmower battery?

I would think they would be lithium ion batteries because they're lighter than lead acid. :bilmem:

You're right; a lead acid battery would be to heavy.

Looks like it's lithium.
