Noob question thread! 2020_Summer

First, pretin the XT90 and solder it with a mate connected on the other end

Second, take it all apart and try again :sunglasses:

Snip the wires so there isn’t as much exposed

Done and done (always)



i don’t think i have the patience for that today.

I’ve been on that for more than an hour now.

Then just try hard to pull each wire off. If you can’t, then fuck it, insulate it and put it in service

That’s one thing that never happened with my joints.

Here is the current result.

it will serve the Jedboxes, so in terms of shittyness it’s a perfect solder job compared to the Jed QC

Those are cold joints.

Mine?

The striations indicate it was only partially melted.

It’s probably fine though, I’d use it

oh, that’s just from me going over it again to smooth some spots, probably didn’t give it enough time to join the other solder

But I guess I would. need a different gear ratio anyway…
2.4 at 190Kv with dual 6355 at 10S 30A each is a bit high speed low torque, right?

Also, do cloud wheels fit my standard 184mm caliber II or do I need extended axles for them?

If I had a screen recorder I would show you that “cloud wheels truck” gives no thread with this question answered sadly as far as I can see.
I know rpk and dpk or how they’re named, work with these wheels, but that was not my intentional question, since I want to know if they fit my trucks @Movation

I hate arguing with you all the time

36 tooth pulleys are 2017.

Do yourself a favor and get 40T or higher. 42T ftw

The wheels fit fine, but it’s the pulleys that are the question.

Bolt on pulleys will fit any truck but I don’t recommend bolt-on pulleys.

So I should go with press fit and probably a support bearing which leads to the need for a bigger axle which leads me to buying a more than 184mm truck, right? :eyes:

With 10S 190kV and 97mm Wheels currently? :sweat_smile:

yes, imho

yes, definitely

No, not necessarily

see this reply and follow all the links

By the way, the @Boardnamics 184mm hangers are so perfect with a long axle too. Even just one on the rear is fine

Make sure you’re heating up the contacts on the xt90, not just the solder. It will vibrate off with time otherwise.
