This is what I’m thinking, it doesn’t seem like they’d be interfering with anything if they weren’t clipped but that’s definitely the kinda thing that I could eyeball wrong.

It seems like I have space but it’s within 0.5mm, I clipped off another ~1mm and they seem to fit with a bit more peace of mind for me

Give extra clearance anywhere something can flex.

For example I have a portable battery with an AC output, the AC plug would keep stutting off abruptly. After opening the case up I found out there was a heatsink on a MOSFET that was flexing into the live and neutral prongs of the AC outlet. A bit of insulator solved my issue there.

Cut the broken fuse in half, one contact is easy to desolder and it hurts nothing. Ez :kissing_heart:

Edit: too late sorry. Any broken multi contact component of sufficient size i cut. Makes life better just be sure not to be violent about it.

For lack of a better place to ask, what do you think I could get for a basically brand new Boosted Mini S? Used twice, no more than a few miles on it

Should I replace the bearing on the stator with a 2rs (rubber shielded instead of metal shielded) that should be more waterproof but has at least a little more friction?

Almost every stator bearing I’ve seen on Reacher and FS motors has been ZZ. IDK if that’s the best choice, but it seems to be the industry standard.

Thank you, will do

It makes sense that they use ZZ bearings, as that part of the motor is spinning really fast and as long as you don’t get salt in it, ZZ should be perfectly fine with the water.

Maybe we should start tagging for 2026

Bought cheap local board. I am correct in thinking I should dispose of this battery asap, don’t know much about batteries but this doesn’t look great.

Thanks
