The 10s4p upgrade you did on an evolve gtx back in the day, was the spacer needed because you made the battery double stack or needed in general because there wasn’t enough space for single stack?

The spacer is mostly necessary so that you can stack the bms on top of the esc.

Also, an 18650 battery is a few mm deeper than the OG pouch cells.

Alternatively you can router out a section of the deck to accommodate it, but that’s not something I would advise.

I make those spacers 8mm high. But i’m pretty sure you can get away with 6mm if you’re desperate. Gimme a second and i’ll find a link to the spacer file i like

Might be very controversial, but I find no honor in dying.

If they would’ve given up that rock in the ocean they maybe could’ve gone back to their familes and cared for them. Now they are all just dead, and the world is a bit darker.

Sorry, but this war next door puts me in a bad mood.

I live in Germany but I’m fucking scared man.
I have pretty bad anxiety issues as it is but this invasion / flexing, troop marching is making me feel very scared. I don’t want to go in a flaming nuclear war.
Now Russia has warned Sweden and Finland not to join NATO or else and 100000 pro Russian troops have just marched to Ukraine from Chechnya.
Fucking hell man.

There’s dying and dying.

Using the same logic, the whole Ukraine should have surrendered. They are facing more than 10:1 advantage in terms of military power. They don’t have much chance to defend themselves if not helped and the help is not coming. It’s depressing. Still, they fight. And they are giving an important message: You can’t be an aggressor and expect not to be met with resistance.

Yup, but their fate is pretty much already decided. Is their message worth dying for? Imo not, but thats me. I applaud them for their bravery, be it foolish or not. Fact is, if they would just surrender, a lot less people will die. Pick your battles.

It’s stories like this that go viral. The more people know about the aggression, the more pressure will build up against Russia. If there’s any hope for Ukraine, it’s that enough people realize what’s happening and make their governments stop Putin. This is not Afghanistan. This is Europe. What if he doesn’t stop in Ukraine. What if Latvia is next and EU goes: “Yeah nah, maybe this NATO agreement wasn’t such a good idea. Let’s not fight yet. Nobody wants a third world war. Plus, what would we do without the Russian gas anyway.”

I deeply regret all lives lost in the war. Still, I don’t think those 13 guys died in vain.

This is effectively what the League of Nations decided when Hitler invaded Poland, provoking WW2.

Those are a lot of “what ifs”. You (we) don’t know whats gonna happen next. I’m very grateful for the Ukrainians standing up against this defacto dictator, and I sure hope that their death will not be in vain, but right now it feels like it.

Also while there are a lot of parallels to WW2, the situation now is very much different. @Venom121212

@Venom121212 Yeah, here’s what one of my friends shared on social media. It’s fitting:

The Munich Agreement blows my mind. I don’t blame them for sacrificing us (Czechoslovakia). Nobody has the right to ask others to risk their lives for them. But, didn’t they see they were next in line? That it was in their own best interest to help us. How many English and French lives could have been saved had they helped us straight away?!

Hopefully it does not go down in history as another appeasement / betrayal situation.

Just a reminder.

Such discussions tend to get heated quite quickly with many people having differing views and perceptions.
