    Turnigy 5000 mah 6s 20c any regrets

    For what it's worth, I've bought the 20c versions at about an 80% good quality rate. Which I feel rather sucks...but you could consider that in the price difference. I had one pack with the 'missing cell' syndrome (one cell goes to 0v, and overall pack voltage measures 5s for a 6s pack.)...

    Kona Coilair Supreme - MAC 6T Build

    Yeah, I love the frame too. The drive side dropout is available from a lot of places (since it's essentially the derailleur hanger), but the brake side one is probably going to be tougher to find. I managed to find one when doing this build, and bought it in case the floating brake didn't work...

    Kona Coilair Supreme - MAC 6T Build

    Not really, no. Everything is still pretty tight back there. I had a clutch problem a few months ago, removed the motor and checked things out pretty thoroughly. Every thing looked good. No wear at the dropouts, or torque arm either.

    End of the World. Beginning of a new one. The Life of Amberwolf.

    Hey what parts do you need for the ASR-88? You remember I build and repair synths and have some pretty good sources for parts. I loved those ASR's, but haven't seen one in a while. I liked that they were true digital oscillators instead of PCM rompler things that were so popular during that...

    Man. So sorry hear to about this. Been away from ES for almost a month, just checked back in today. I feel for you man. Don't worry about that DSLR, I'll locate you another one. Hang in there brother.

    Throttle Smoother 3.0 - Linear Ramp Circuit

    Pretty cool! I came up with something very similar a while back. Got to love that 'validation feeling' when someone else dreams up a similar idea! http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33963&hilit=throttle&start=15#p494371 But never built it...really didn't need it for my...

    downhill vs freeride bike for ebike conversion?

    I built up a Kona Coiler Supreme...which Kona calls a free-ride bike. It'll do close to 40 on flats...and I've had it up to just under 50 going down large hills. At those speeds it doesn't feel like a motorcycle at all...it feels like a shortwheel based bike with a lot of suspension. Brake...

    Election Map

    John nailed it. The failure of the republicans to separate their conservative economic platform from a conservative social platform destroyed them. I think a much larger (and likely majority) could get on board with the republican economic plan. But few can tolerate the pallette of obsolete...

    Election Map

    You know, I was talking to my brother yesterday about the whole voter/election game, electoral college and all that bs. Anyway, midway through our discusion I proposed a reform of voter policy: 1) Voter registration is done via check box on your tax return. No return, no vote. Taxation...

    Can serial connected cells also be paralleled?

    How do I weed out/group cells to put a pack together?

    LiFe might be different, but with the sketchy quality of LiPo from Hobby King, I test every pack on a cell level before building into a parallel group. I do a few things specifically. I first do a light cycle on the pack, maybe charge up to 70% (easily set on the Hyperion 1420) and discharge...

    Temperature controlled soldering station - can I be helped?

    disconnecting battery from controller or leaving plugged in

    Like everyone else said, always unplug that batt. But, when you start doing so, you'll now be seeing a spark when you reconnect the batteries (as a result of the caps in your controller quickly charging.) Search on 'pre-charge resistor' to eliminate this sparking.

    I know you say you don't want to use PC resources...but if there's one thing Windows does great, it's serving files with little resources. You won't start consuming significant resources unless you setup a video server that transcodes for devices that don't support certain formats. I use...

    New 9C 2807 - Noisy grinding sound under any load.

    Sounds exactly like phase / hall mismatch. I had the same result on a few combos on my 2810. It's why it's suggested to lightly touch the throttle when testing the combos. There's plenty of threads of working combos on this, like this one...

    MAC 6T Suddenly has Regen??!

    I don't pull on it more than a few seconds: acceleration from stop, starting on an incline, etc. It's the stock 1000w setup from Cell_man, with the controller settings as shipped. After about 200 miles on this setup I broke everything down and checked the connections ( I've ridden through...

    MAC 6T Suddenly has Regen??!

    I could of used that tip earlier today! :D Anyway, this is what it looked like right after popping it back in place: Everything else inside looked fine. Although, upon disconnecting the leads for removal, I noticed the Anderson's had melted / fused close a bit. Looks like I'm under...

    MAC 6T Suddenly has Regen??!

    Thanks Y. I've got an eZee as well, so that's good to know they're very similar. Well, I went to pry the clutch assembly off with three composite tire levers: one between each planet gear. As I pried on one side I heard a fairly loud click and noticed the clutch assembly move perhaps a...
