Its good to know that there are people pushing the absolute limits of these power systems. And the hard hats are hilarious!

Any idea what kind of flight packs theyre using?
Not really sure about the packs they are using but they limit the power levels for each flight to 2.6 KWH. If I recall correctly they use up to 10s but do not allow parallel packs so the packs have to be able to handle the 300 to 500 amp power levels.
by the way another electric speed project I am playing with:
