Any issues with mix and matching 1.6 and 1.7 FocBoxes?
And what are the odds it took the other side with it?
Also is there anyone who does DRV replacements? I don’t feel comfortable doing it myself
ohhh no are these the boness focboxes?
No, these are a set I got a long time ago
One of your boneless boxes is going into the hole though, it’s gonna get some time on the healing bench and the twin will stay in a dark drawer for a while longer
The TB110 board is gonna get the TB4.12 or the Xenith 1.0 (fingers crossed it doesn’t have a bad antispark)

Hahahahaha is this a common phrase I’ve missed out on or is it deliberately an AvE reference? I’ve tried using it in conversation with other DIY nerds of different persuasions but I usually just get confusion

All the wires and connectors gotta go, its a very tight squeeze in that enclosure

West System 650 mixed with sawdust and/or milled glass fiber is what I would try.

I like that plan, more likely to match color wise and I might be able to get away with just stain n frit.
Yeah they work fine together.
If you solder the battery minus and battery plus wires together on the ESCs, then there is no difference between the 1.6 and 1.7
If color is a thing you’re concerned about then use West System 105 + 206 which is clear or some other epoxy. I don’t know if 105 + 206 comes in small-ish containers.
West System 650 is yellowish. WS650 also has blush really bad that you need to wash off after curing. But it’s a tad better IMHO for deck repair as it’s SLIGHTLY flexible, just like wood. Like it’s hard and you could drill and tap it, but it’s a tiny bit soft as well.
I’m not going that far, but they will get plugged into the same harness
Which side should get the remote and bluetooth?
I got a gallon of silvertip on the way. I’m thinking sawdust with a drop of epoxy for the filler, with a tiny bit more sawdust on top. Then, stain the whole board, and it gets the regular frit treatment.
This deck is solid as a rock, too. And I’ll get rid of this deck when it dies or I do. So it doesn’t have to be customer level perfect.

Doesn’t matter.
Use cable ties then to make sure that power XT60 doesn’t vibrate loose

I got a bunch of mini zip ties for that purpose
Can I put pom gears in the dishwasher?
No but seriously, what’s the best way to clean lithium grease from pom gears?

Dishwasher doesn’t do it trust me
Go at it with the course side of a sponge and some degreaser, make sure you scrape off as much as possible first though
Edit: gasoline also doesn’t help

You could also jam a piece of wood in the hole (with the sawdust + epoxy mix) then sand it flat after curing if you want a more natural look.

Or melt some jolly ranchers and pour the molten candy in the hole. Let harden and lick until flush/smooth @Kai

Yeah that was my first idea xD
I’m gonna be sanding the edges down for sharper lines though, so I can easily put aside sawdust made from the same wood.
