Would the Turnigy Watt Meter succomb to a premature death if I sealed off the vent on the underside of the unit? Has anyone tried running a sealed unit?
I'd like some opinions on single leg kickstands (the kind that mount behind the bottom bracket and between the stays).
I remember using these decades ago on steel frames and they had a tendency to loosen, no matter how much they were tightened.
I've noticed quite a number of these in pics posted...
I just opened up my Infineon 6fet controller (board ID.# EB206-AS-1) and have a few questions regarding the wiring harness connections.
The yellow wire from the brake switch is connected to EBS-. Nothing is connected to EBS+ or BK. Is regenerative braking enabled or will the e-brake switch just...
To activate the cruise control option on an EB206 controller, is it simply a matter of wiring in a switch or does the option need to be activated (selected) via programming software as well?
After studying a multitude of options for mounting batteries in the frame triangle, I found this bag at a local department store. http://www.amazon.com/Bell-Road-Stash-Handlebar-Bag/dp/B003NKS2A4
Inside measurements ~8.75"x 5.25"x 3.5"
Looks like a feasable solution for those of us wanting to...
Received my first lipo order today and here are the out of box measurements. These are 2X Turnigy 6s 5000mah 20c measured with 2 battery medics and multimeter.

I had to modify my brake caliper adapter to get my rotor to pads aligned. This required repeated assembly/disassembly and I feel the precoated threadlock on the screws has lost it's effectiveness. Can I just reapply some blue threadlock over the precoated area or does it require metal to metal...
I have an MXUS motor and noticed that the stock nut has a fairly loose fit when threaded onto the axle.
Would there be any benefit in replacing this with a nylon locknut?
Would I be able to apply more tightening torque before stripping the axle threads?
Would it help prevent the nut from...
I'm looking at 6s 5000mah lipo. Zippy is 15c, Turnigy is 20c. Both are the same price. Although the Turnigy has higher C rating, is the Zippy better quality (less chance of a dud, maintain their balance better, longer cycle life etc.)?
They are finally back in stock. You can use my buddy code and save $4 http://www.hobbyking.com/buddy.asp?code=BAB6E2E8-5D69-4CC6-8CB1-3F6AE7B1877A
I also have buddy codes for 12g wire and bullet connectors if anyone needs em.
I'm liking dogman's idea of permanently wired lipo buzzers rather than just connecting via the balance plugs.
There may be periods when I wont be riding for a few weeks, maybe even a month, and was wondering if I should be concerned about any current drain on the lipo.
Would someone kindly post an Ebay link to the $8 booster soldering iron that liveforphysics so highly recommends. After numerous keyword searches … no results! :(
Hi guys. First post. I must say I am really impressed with this forum and would like to thank all the contributors.
Been lurking awhile and putting together a shopping list for my first build. Therefore my question; Icharger 106B or 206B?
Assuming I want to charge a lipo pack 6s4p (20AH total...
