If you think of selling some stuff individually which might help with your overall sale. How much for the following. Thanks pal. SkyRC Imax B6AC v2 with charging cables. Dusty motors large universal shroud and shock covers.

Im struggling with soldering an xt60 to my ESC. I cut off the old T connector as I couldent melt the old solder with my iron ? Then I struggled to tin the newly exposed wire. I did tin easily the new xt60 connections. Is my iron not enough power. Its an antex 25W. Also the ESC wire(hobbywing sc8), is it coated with something...should I have scraped it to clean it. One last question...i have it soldered up now but am not confident in the joint. Is there any way to test the joint. Truck ran ok in garden, no room to open it up fully though. Thanks

aj....i need a new lipo charger and just by coincidence it seems you are using the exact one i have my eye on I think https://www.modelsport.co.uk/skyrc-ultimate-d250-ac-dc-balance-charger/rc-car-products/420735 Is it any good pal...im currently using an overlander rc6-vsr which is a single lipo charger...I want a dual charger.

Im also looking at getting a better charger, or making my own... I found this guide online for one of those HP server PSU's. Would this work. Hmm..what about balancing the lipo and what about cutting off the charge when the battery is full ? https://blog.seidel-philipp.de/hp-dps-1200fb-power-supply-hack-for-charging-lipos/

Well if thats the case both my Floureons were crap. I wont purchsse Floureon again, however other people have had good experiences with them. Luck of the draw I guess.

HRB,s arrived from amazon, cells look reasonably balanced. I hope they last longer than the Floureons. Although to be fair the Floureons were just left over winter in storage and ignored for 6 months or so. Perhaps I should have nudged em back up to 3.8v every few weeks ? bat1. 3.79 3.80 3.79 bat2. 3.80 3.79 3.79

Just amazon prime ordered a pair of HRB 6000mAh 50C 3S XT60. £44 each.

Where do people purchase their Lipo. Hobbyking seem to be low on LIpo at the moment, Turnigy and Zippy. Theres Floureons on ebay but Im not sure on the quality ? I also see a lot of these HRB lipo on ebay but Ive no idea of the quality of those either. Any tips....thanks

Still pondering about a pair of 3s for this mte. Is the 29mm battery tray a standered size? Can i fit a bigger tray or mod the stock one. Its just theres more choice/bigger bats available if i can fit wider lipo.. Thanks

My battery trays are 30mm, i guess these wont fit ?

I need a new pair of 3s lipo for this after my old floureons failed me. What would people recommend to run this. Been looking on Hobbyking but im not sure what "c" is needed. 5-6000 mAh @30C or do i need to go higher. Any recommendations ? are these ok? https://hobbyking.com/en_us/zippy-flightmax-5800mah-3s1p-30c.html

Thanks...gonna dispose of those floureons. So i need a new pair of 3s lipo for the Hyper MTe. Can someone please link me to a reasonable battery to purchase at Hobbyking. Its just im not sure about the importance of C vs mAh, and UK warehouse vs EU The floureons were supposed to be 35C 5500mAh Thanks Tray is 165 x 29mm

yeah i saw the gens ace one.......was hoping you had two..☹️ good luck with your lipo sale pal......

Went to charge a pair of pair of Floureon 11.1v 35c 5500mAh to take the MT out for a run. First charge for maybe 1 year. Diddnt look too good to start with before charging. Still bad after balance charge. Thought I would run down and balance up again. Any advice, I guess battey 1 is finished right, as cell 3 dropped to 2.39V. I know I could try to charge up cell 3 as a 1s via the balance lead but is it worth it? Battery 2 worth balance charging again ? Thanks Voltages are below. bat 1 Voltage after balance charge: 4.20. 4.10. 3.80. Voltage after run: 3.76 3.79 2.39 !! bat 2 Voltage after balance charge:4.20 4.10 3.90 Voltage after run: 3.79 3.73 3.55

I need a new pair of 3s for a MT 5500mAh or so. If you come across a decent pair let me know as there was none in your list. Thanks
