1) Recovered 5.2kWh modules seem readily available.  I&#039;m seeing them described as having individual liquid cooling at the module level.  Would I need to have all modules hooked to an interconnected liquid cooling system or can they just be air cooled?<br />

<br />
I’m building a Lancia Stratos replica and have all the drawings and 3D models of the chassis etc. I want to use a Tesla model S small rear motor. I don’t have one at the moment but want to design the mounts and check for clashes etc in a 3D model. Does anyone have any drawings or models of the Tesla motor?<br />
The Grabcad versions are hard to work with, so just mounting positions and output shaft details would be fine<br />
<br />
Many thanks<br />
