What did you break today?

[slick2500]

Nothing on my cars yet, but... Had the noto on the stand in the kitchen, with power and was fiddeling with the transmitter menu (so f...... stupid, i know) Car went full throttle of the stand ??‍anp up the wall with kitchen knifes. Knives and coffee was all over the place, vas lucky to catch the car and power it off. Luckely i only have very dull knives now and a burn up my arm ?

Nothing will pucker your butthole like a 6s car going wot all by itself.

This is why it is always a good idea to make sure that you set up your failsafe. Idk what radio you have so you will have to look up the directions for setting up your failsafe.

I try my best to remove tires when working in confined spaces. Especially when working on electronics and powertrain related items.

The transmitter (dx5 rugged) was set up with the failsafe. I am quite lost on what happend, but entered the "calibrate" under settings by mistake(hate the touch input) and the noto went full ham. i have since that great experince ? tested the failsafe, and it seams to work (i hope)

I thought I posted these.
Broke the rear bumper support which ripped the wires out of the plug for my taillights and broke the battery door.
And I just realized why my chassis looked so weird, I thought I dyed it black but pretty sure I used the purple.

So this is a delayed post as this damage happened a day or two ago. Forgot to post it.

My son Zen (24yo) wanted to give the K4S a rip with my ramp out front in our street after watching me do some basic single backflips. Nothing too big as I’m landing on the pavement. He lands a few small jumps and gets a feel for air control. Next thing I know he really sends it without warning and lands a beautiful double backflip. ?

Needless to say he’s now hooked. That DBF will set hooks in you like the best Heisenberg Blue Sky that @slick2500 loves so much. ?

So all assured now that he’s got it down, he sends it again with the reckless abandonment that ones does with someone else’s rig and does a straight nose landing from 20ft onto the pavement. He then takes off driving like he stole it and all I hear is gears grinding. Then it dies in the street.

Here is the carnage:

He bent the motor mount, which I hammered back into shape, which took out the pinion and spur. Both could be ran more, but I have spares, so out they go. The balance leads also pulled out of the connector and must have shorted as that’s the only reason I can think why it shut off mid run. It was a pretty fresh pack before this happened.

So now I need to buy a crimper and some ends to replace the balance plug. I really have been thinking about getting one anyways. Time to order one. Does anyone have a specific crimper or ends that they recommend? I want to be able to do JST, Futaba, Balance, and other RC ends.

this is the cheap kit I bought has worked great so far

Crimp tools are unique to the crimp.
I typically just buy the connectors with leads or 'extenders' and cut them in half and solder to whatever is broken.
Not a fan of crimping, ends up being more expensive and I don't repair that often.

I picked one very similar. But you know I can’t buy a red one. It’s gotta be blue!

I really just want to recrimp ends. I don’t want this soldered connector flapping around. Thanks for the input tho. ??

The nice thing about those you can make your own servo extensions or make servos wires shorter if need be.

All made in same factory lol. Fyi most people don't like crimping because it isn't done right. There are 2 spots you crimp to make it hold. I'm sure you know already.

I’ve got probably ten different ratcheting crimpers but none this style. I will check some videos about the ins and outs but it shouldn’t be too difficult. ??

If there are things you know that aren’t obvious, please share.
