What would you consider more “harmful”

discharging “low” (32ish V on 10s) everytime or fully charging every time but not discharging as deep. (cutoff is 41.8v)

#6877

Have you tried changing the throttle ramping time yet?

#6878

I’d lean more towards a deeper discharge than a full charge.

Make sure you set the failsafe

Then you can change the App_Settings>General>APP_to_Use to “PPM and UART” and change App_Settings>PPM>Control_Type to “Current Hyst Reverse With Brake”

If by “reverse” parallel connector you mean a connector that takes one battery connection and has two output connectors in parallel, then yes.

So quick question. I’m getting a battery with a box for top-mount but my bindings are too close together by about 3 inches so box wont fit. Question is if i drill new holes and move the bindings apart will it compromise the integrity of the deck?

#6884

Not if you’re careful. Use a high quality sharp bit and run it at an appropriate speed, and you should be fine.

If you’re worried about it you can always fill the new hole with some epoxy before inserting your fasteners, or epoxy in a metal insert to prevent any possible layer debonding.

I’m a total nOOb to crimping my own connectors; I want to crimp some 2.0 mm JST connectors for NRF modules, will these crimpers work?

Tried. From 0.1 to 1s, throttle expo from 0 to -20% as well.
Brakes are sharp, acceleration is not

What is the hanger size on your calibers?

These work great. My go-to cheap but reliable crimpers.

USD $239, Really? just looked and website says $319 (I assume its USD) am I reading this wrong

#6890

It’s because all three ESCs are on the same listing and the webshop shows the cheapest price.
The 100S is $239
The 60D is $319
