PSA: Anyone else notice that the blue threadlocker tastes sweet? if you did you should probably get some glovesā¦ thatās the nerve damage all thread locker causes. My friend who does gunsmithing which involves lots of thread locker has permanent nerve damage from using his hands to apply Loctite
INSTANTLY BUYS GLOVES ON AMAZON
So i was working on my board and streaming to our discord chat when he gave me the biggest dressing down lol. I was putting together my gear drive and had a box of gloves next to my work in the shot and using my fingers to apply the entire rainbow of various loctites. He was pissed but in a mama bird kinda way

Oh god not again who tf is tasting their loctite
Interesting about the nerve damage - I always wipe it off right away if it gets on my hands, and wash after. Figured it wasnāt good for me lol

yeah ever since Iāve realized the back of my bottle says something to the effect of āprolonged exposure may cause organ failureā, Iāve been a bit more careful with it lol

Apparently I have a talent for using loctite without accidentally eating it. Thereās gotta be a way this can make me famous.

Who the fuck eats Loctite and how is this a discussion again?

Why the fuck are people applying loctite with their fingers?
Finger painting for adults?

They got nothing else to finger
So I did some digging into JB-Weldās safety datasheet, and one of the ingredients in their blue threadlocker is indeed saccharin, the artificial sweetener known as sweet-n-low.

I donāt use the blue loctite since it is harder to remove than the red which allows you to heat it up to get stuff off easier.
Iād skip the purple if those are the bolts for pulleys, and I donāt use any for the bolts to close/tighten the clamps currently since those fuckers are usually already hard enough to loosen without adding loctite.
Donāt get the loctite in your mouth. It tastes worse than it smells

I didnāt apply it with my fingers but on new tubes the stuff comes out way too easily so a bit got on my hand, I went to eat my breakfast while working and it got on the food.
It was only one time on accident

I have a bkb duo with the TQ-Monster-Kit that I kind of want to upgrade with a gear drive.
Boardnamics AT-M1 should fit, right?
Other options? And which wheels should I get?
Hi there. Recently Iāve gotten a new battery setup for my build since my other batteries had an issue. This BMS runs a 10s setup and which these new batteries are still a 10s setup, I did turn the batteries around just to test if I can fit the enclosure better since the plugs were in the way, I plugged in the batteries and wires the way they should but the BMS started smoking, twice so I further analyzed the BMS and realized one of the terminals is fried, not sure if this LTT BMS was already on its last leg since it was fine before or doing a quick 360 of the batteries caused the issue, Iām questioning to get another LTT BMS or get a better quality one
LLT makes good quality BMSs. I hate to say it but my suspicion from what youāve said and those pictures is that your batteries and balance leads were, in fact, not connected correctly and that is what fried your BMS.

Yea they werenāt, I reviewed some old footage of when I connected everything correctly and it the balance wires itself was crossed but today I corrected it the right way and the BMS seems to be working just fine, I mightāve dodged a bullet with this one but Iām gonna make sure thereās no issues before I close it up
