Totally makes sense and I agree with your motions. I wouldnā€™t send a battery pack to anyone with a male connector either. Too easy for the end user to screw it up

I honestly donā€™t even know what kind of settings to expect to be able to push on the Unity

On my Go-Foc Retro with an equivalent heat sink, I get heat soaked at 50a battery per side within like 5 minutes of doing hills when itā€™s cool out

What are people running their unities at?

Iā€™ve got one of those pack u talking about :rofl:

Its hard to tell without dry-fitting the parts, I gave up.When the motors die, replacement will be another truck type.
Now I can say I built the board for my son :innocent: . Its new and expensive so heā€™ll be happy. I hope. All fine, he loves cruising, long straight ends, now he probably will learn to make turns.
Thanks for the help anyways.

Yeah, was just a bit mental science to nowhere :joy: :smiley:

I remember the first time i tried to solder a connector onto a battery.
It had an xt90 and I was putting an xt60 on

And yeah. I had the helping hands holding both sides of the xt60 connectors and the sparks that flew were pretty spectacularā€¦

On an Esk8 the whole world really turns into one big playground (for old men)
Its insane.

Looks like you were pouring epoxy around the XT-90 a loop key goes into, but forgot to seal the hole in the back and epoxy got through to the bullets :laughing:

Youā€™re mighty close.

Itā€™s an XT30 and there are two colors of epoxy there. When I put the second epoxy on I thought the hole was sealed up but it wasnā€™t and it got into the inside of the XT30 connector. So I sawed it out and you can see a cross-section of it, including the fishpaper on top and the wire that was soldered to the pin :rofl:
