Great info. I did learn something from it. I'm looking forward to seeing your new book coming out, as well as more videos on motor torque, and 2 wheel drive bikes. Keep up the great work.

As usual incredibly well done. I can't imagine anyone NOT watching the entire thing. I saw and copied Damians chart but you made it real! Stellar stuff Micah! AND I never thought of using a holder like a 100' tape measure for dispensing a roll of strip. I'm copying yours. Another well done piece. Looking forward to more. Where can I buy the book? On the website? Looking to see and order. AND a companion video! Rock on!!!

Hey bro just thought you might like to know that you present yourself really well on the tube .. just pick any subject and I bet you would explain it well . Keep it bro . Plenty of not so good tubers out there . Good to see some can get it just right .

Great video! I have also looked through your other tutorials and I was wondering how you would go about stacking the 18650 cells on top of each other...length wise, the reason would be to make a longer pack shorter. Thank you for your time.
