***** ELFusion repair complete (I think). Extra Battery arrived. 35-50 hour trip begins Sat at Noon....

I've been testing the repaired ELFusion axle for hours, seems to be ship shape, AND, 15-30% more efficient that I'd thought!  It may be that the broken axle not only sounded like war going on, but was a huge drag on the vehicle, reducing speed and or distance by 15-30%!!!!  Maybe not, but I think so, and I'll know more over the next few days.
