XV Pilot Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The same paint would be better than nail varnish. Does anyone do anodised body clips? They do indeed:http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?index=0&sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=330942212307 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Charged my lipos! New power supply arrived. Nice mate. I have the single outlet 200W power supply - same maker. I use a Hobbyking Quattro 4x6 - works perfectly, even LiFe. A decent charger does make life a lot easier!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richarddenton1982 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Yeah, I love the charger, it copes with 2 batteries up to 10A each but my 47A converted Server PSU electrocuted me, so this is the new one.The charger will charge anything including 12v lead acid!

Tug Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 PAT testing it? Why? I'm curious as to why you got a belt off it. They're not double insulated, so any leakage should've gone to earth, not you. Unless your PSU has lost it's earth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richarddenton1982 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Ah, the old one! I thought you meant the new one! It was shorted somewhere, looked like one of the copper wound ferrite rings as it had melted the lacquer on the pcb. I tested it with my multimeter and almost every soldered element had 240v across it. Even the heatsink was live!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The same paint would be better than nail varnish. Does anyone do anodised body clips? Actually it wouldn't... That kind of paint on bodyposts will look completely different, where as nail varnish in the correct shade will look identical. I've done it, so I know how it turns out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoryW Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 After a TERRIBLE dirt masters I've purchased different turnbuckles and 2 smart diffs for the eu. Apart from that, literally threw it into the garage from the car boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 what happened ..anyway had a fun evenings racing the 12th after a couple weeks missing out due to hospital, managed a 9.11 lap which is really quick for me, but most of all i was driving far cleaner and more consistent than previous. now back to building my mi5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryW Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Practice - 1 lap - rear diff cup failure. Repaired and got back to track as time ran out. Race 1 - 2 laps - car cuts out Race 2 - turnbuckles fail so max camber Race 3 - started off well, car kicked up off a bump in main straight and flipped. Front driveshaft popped Final B - 5 minute mark - turnbuckles fail AGAIN. Raced until 22 minutes and couldn't bare the handling anymore. The track was very very rough due to the dry weather. Needs some work for sure. It'll be back to its smooth self again though Random snap from Final A Edited July 23, 2013 by RoryW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
