Booster Battery

I had an 5cell 4200mha sub C pack what was gunna be used in the e-chaos (this means update really soon), but i deceind to run a 6 cell hump in the e chaos, so i took apart the 5 cell and made a 2 cell that i can plug in between my ESC and battery for 8 cells

i'm gunna put some hot glue in bewteen the two plugs tommorow, can't wait to test this, tho kinda waiting on parts still :/

i wonder how this prefromce will compair to that of the 5000mha zippy lipo i have comming...

the lug

okay well i'm glad i never tested this cuz it would've failed epicly, cuz that is a great deal if you want to wire in paralle... so yeah updated wireing, you need 2 half deans if you want to custom a series adapter... or you can buy one for like $3 off tower but i had much more fun doing it this way...



the bottom deans plug is from the batt, the upper right half plug goes fromt he batt pos, to the booster neg, the bottom left half deans comes from the booter pos and goes to the esc pos, then the top left deans goes to the main batt neg, from the esc neg,

11 cells of POWER!!!!!!!!!!

the lug

Ok, I'm hooked...I'll be watching for updates on how this works out.

poey my charger only does up to 8 cells... but it does 3s lipo... either way i'll just have to solder up another half a deans deal... its not that i hate soldering its the plugs are a pain to cut and make a mess...

the lug

i see a fire coming That sure is a mess but deffintely looks like its gonna be a heck of a good time. So will the ESC handle it?

the esc handled it, just fine its rated up to 12 cells with this motor, the motor handled it good, what couldn't take it was the diff, this is an upgraded diff from the stock evader diff to make it WAY stronger... and i burned it totally out... gone... i'll post pics later tonite, i could feel the extra battery on it, but its fast little i didn't get too much WOT on it, but its quick i maybe hit about 40 so far and it wasn't nearly tapped out... i gotta go to my dads pics to come after work of the dead diff

the lug

what happened to the diff



the lug

Uh yeah....that's cooked.

So the good news is, it's making real power.

That is a by product of having the diff slip (running it too loose). When it slips it starts to get hot, and once it gets too hot it melts like your did.

yeah i know, i'm in my diff now, and it looks like my thrust bearing crapped out on this last gear replacement of the one before it, either way i'm down 4 balls.....

but the AE thrust bearing will fit perfectly if towers specs are correct, i'll update this tonite, arg never got to the e-choas tho......
