Hey all, some of you might know me from the builders forum. I haven’t been up to much with my build lately, but starting to plan what’s next in it’s evolution.
I want to make it lighter, more reliable battery wise and easier to charge, while retaining the same mad punch of high C LiPos on the Max6 ESCs.
Good to see you here!
You already have a quite light setup.
There not so much things I could imagine to change to get it lighter with same performance
I‘m curious what are your plans.
Following this thread for sure!
That’s really really good.
I had mine down to 13.5kg with belts, dual 6384 and a 12s1p 5Ah pack.
And the only weight saver I thought about would have been to change to smaller motors like dual 6355 and maybe change trucks to Matrix2 instead of the trampa.
Got my grubby paws on four of these built as 8S, going to start breaking down and building 5S units this weekend to wire into series and run as 10S for my build.
This way I can balance the packs initially with my B6AC chargers as 5S units, then just use them from there on with a laptop style charger charging the whole 10S.
Thors are big cells
How you plan to mount them on the board?
By the way, great that you add some info about the MAX 6 esc here. Not so much people using those anymore, but there still people searching for information. So good to have something written up here as well
Also did this minor mod last night while tinkering with and surface cleaning my board. I’ll be building over the next week or so because it’s going to be miserable down here in wintery, rainy Melbourne. Plus, I’m not at Level 20 Mage waterproofing like @b264 yet.
That’s just what I’m breaking down to get to the cells. I’ve got four of those, which will turn into one 10s at first, and another maybe two to add on, so I can round robin and always have charged packs, or parallel them for longer range. Plus, 10s1p is going to be 540Wh, so TSA will definitely not like that, never mind going to 10s2p or more.
