The first connector you pictured will not work as a balance connecter, personally, I don't use the balance port strap because if the battery flies out of the car the balance cable might rip off.
I started doing this as well since the pins got ripped out of my balance lead and wouldn't stay in anymore.
Me too!
Good point, maybe I'll ditch that pic.
The balance lead can also be damaged by that holder as we already mentioned. The strap breaks and your batteries come out it will rip the leads off the battery.
For the record, I was just kidding about the finger prints, but I see your point about security, I could almost see your DNA! J/K.
My Sledge will slow down and then stop as the battery is depleted. If you get the Traxxas link module you can check voltage remotely.
The Sledge comes with the telemetry built in?
As far as I know it doesn't have that feature.From what I've read, the Sledge ESC has some telemetry features already. Including pack voltage. And with the $35 Bluetooth link on the transmitter, you can view that stuff using their app on your phone. You can also add more sensors, for temperature, GPS, etc.
The first time I took my Sledge out, I think I failed to notice the first stage of LVC (when it cuts power to 50%), and I ran my battery way too-low. So now I'm slightly paranoid about it
I'm tempted to get the Bluetooth link, since programming the transmitter is incredibly clumsy. But I don't love the idea of constantly needing my phone to monitor the telemetry info. Does the app let you set an alarm for thresholds? Like so my phone could make a noise in my pocket, if the pack voltage got too low? I've had trouble finding much info on the telemetry features.
I go back and forth on whether I should just get a different controller with a screen, and telemetry, and replace the receiver. There are some options around $80, but they may not really provide telemetry.
Nice setup but not for everyone. That phone would be in the way of my left wrist while driving.
You can always get this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/2542562276...gH8wY9CSNK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Thank you that's awesome. So many times I want to capture my rig running but have no one to film. May have to consider that
Ooh, even 3D-printed! Thanks, that's interesting, and makes me realize there could even be "homemade" solution.
