Checked connection of your phase wires?

All 6 adapters are snug and the MR60s are seated, but the enclosure reeks of ozone, METR isn’t working anymore either

Sounds like a fried DRV chip at the very least

Given the smell of ozone, I’d say start digging and look for burn marks.

Fuck me, I put it together with loctite

Oooof.

Yeah, definitely looks like the path the magic smoke escaped from.

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

Haha it’s an AvE reference, I love that guy

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

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.
