What did you do to your model today?

[richarddenton1982]

Trying to figure out a way of mounting my quad and heli on the wall

Nail gun?

[Oh How Original]

Nail gun?

 

I've had it up with nails, but just can't get them in far enough, they're still loose.

I'll figure it out

[Oh How Original]

Well had my first incident with the Mini 8ight today, sadly it randomly stopped running and the rest light was on the esc, I got my IR temp gun straight on it to find it was only on 111*F so knew it wasn't that, took the LiPo out to find this

Nice jeans!

Is that scorching around the balance lead entry point? Looks borked.

[J.K]

I'd be interested to hear your findings, I'm running the exact same packs in my 8ight!

[Oh How Original]

Most comfortable jeans I own got several pairs

Just to clarify, it didn't overheat, it got wrapped round my prop shaft and the leads were ripped out, they didn't melt

Just checking Youtube now how to properly dispose of them.

fully discharge using bulb or similar, stick a nail through it then stick it in a gallon of water with half a cup of salt for a week then throw out in household waste.

Using a bulb? O.o I knew about the salt thing but what do you mean by bulb?

Why not resolder? Is it salvageable?

I don't think so mate, it looks like they've been pulled by the roots so to speak.

I may have a further look tomorrow, maybe put up some detailed pictures, if someone thinks they can do it, they can have it for postage cost, probably about 2quid, if they can re-solder it they've got themselves a cheap LiPo

[mamba_man]

you can fix that lipo if you are careful. cut the plasic film away and solder the middle to the middle solder point and so on, you should be able to see where they were ripped from. this happened to a 3s in my savage when it was ripped off by a stick.

I'm really not confident with soldering at all matey.

If someone wants it they're welcome to it for the price of postage.

It still charges and discharges perfectly fine, cell wise, just the lead needs fixing

[mamba_man]

fair enough i dont like soldering either my dad does all my soldering and also that 3s.

[Oh How Original]

Yeah same here I've tried to "learn" but like I melted 3 Deans connectors before he took over and did it for me

I'll take it if you just want postage costs. Sure I can fix that.

[jordan_bench10]

Didn't touch it 

Leds come 10 x red blue white and orange so when my wire turns up I shall be soldering

Resoldered my motor / esc so it runs the right way now.

Got my DT-02 up and running again! Nice with a 12t brushless in, and still great fun with a 2s on loose ground.
