I see your point on heatā¦ heat creep and HAZā¦ I just use longer pigtails and never look backā¦ maybe Iām old skool ā¦ but Iāve never experienced a failure where the pin has pulled from the connector while plugged into it mateā¦
I just fucking hate the bulk the pigtail splice makes. Itās definitely the autism in me, also the fact that I keep trying to shove big batteries into tiny integrated decks and every larger non-flexible shrink wrapped joint makes a difference.
Yeah, if you just drop the money on the engineer crimper itās fucking painless. Like, if you have your own shop nobody else fucks with $40 for a quality tool is nothing. I was able to do two quality crimps a minute on 24awg turnigy silicone with a $5 harbor fraught shitter crimper. (After 10 minutes and ~10 experimental crimps)
It might suck if you have super shaky hands. Like, Iām definitely getting there.
and Iāll fucking bet you I can unpin a 10 pin connector and re-pin it with ZERO garfed up connectors faster than you can crimp and pinā¦ jaajajjajaa but I digressā¦
While Iām in full bitch mode, i h8 vendors that spec silicone wire but it has fcuking plastic insulation on itā¦ small wires should always be silicone
EDIT 2: What the fuck is this sound?
Focus on the light in the video,every time that sounds appears the light vibrates like crazy. Its not the autofocus of the camera.
That most certainly sounds like a loose magnet. The reason you here it less at higher speeds is beccause the rotor is spinning so fast the magnet does not have enough time to fall back on the stator so it just does millions of little bounces which makes less noise that when you go slowly and thus get a thud thud sound.
I could be wrong but i have had a motor make that exact sound and it was a loose magnet. @kook ?
Do all the screws look tight on the motor? Does the axle look straight?
When you get a chance to take it off your board, before disassembling it hold it in your hand with a cloth or and try accelerating with the remote, if you feel a thud every time it spins in your hand then it is probably a magnet
