53HRA Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Isn’t it just rude when a kerb decides to pop out on you without even giving any notice and only a minute into driving ? 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Quick run with the BL X2, only 6S on the new, lower, gearing. Very slow, but all seems well, so 8S next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of what I've been doing I've had in the wardrobe for months. The Merc Diebels has been sat around for possibly a year or more. The Mitsubishi I'll be doing after the Promarkt I know it's been there since last July (ish) Fortunately I was granted 4 days holiday last week by my boss, which gave me a total of 10 days off so decided to knuckle down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DartmoorTrails Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Fitted a new ESC to my Bomber, the Castle Sidewinder 4. Matched with a Castle 1410-3800.Amazed by the startup of a sensorless ESC, better than some sensored systems I've used.Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hooned the Senton around the park for a pack, muchos fun! The grass is in need of cutting, so corners had to be taken slow to avoid rollovers, but she dun good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomzac66 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Took to the Air [emoji1944] Then came down again. [emoji106][emoji1305] A wee bit windy to learn in but heyho still in one piece so that’s a win, gorilla glue on standby though.

Tug Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Gave the BL X2 a hooning in the park, 8S through the 780KV. Motor peaked at 66C, ESC around 45............. cells at 66C! Yikes! To be fair, that's not the way I usually drive a BL largescale, back and forth across a field. Seemed to cope though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This high speed running killed a cell in one of the Floreon packs, 10,000 mah, 4S pack. Must invest in heavier duty cells! Last night I took the Big Rock out for slipper testing, that was my excuse and I'm sticking to it. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Most of the batteries I have got say in the manual they are OK upto 70c when discharging. I think if it was 66c on the outside cells when you measure it I could be 80c+ on the middle cell when it's running! You definitely need some with lower ir to keep the heat down.

DartmoorTrails Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Was left alone for the afternoon so managed to make a start on a custom build[emoji106]SSD ar44 diamonds with their own hubs and super heavy knuckles, the fit is awesome. I so love SSD!Random eBay chassis I liked the look of but will need to add some custom carbon side panels to protect the motor...And one of my favourite pastimes is making my own links out of 6mm stainless, 3mm threaded through that and capped off with rc4wd bent link ends. It's time consuming but very rewarding somehow!Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Today was mostly spent clearing out the garage and improving the bike storage situation. One more tip run and a final tidy up and I'll finally have my garage back Before After Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
