What did you buy today?

I really wish they made the motor leads a little longer so I don't have to run extensions.

I second that..!!!

This is what I got for running it without extensions when I first got it.

My castle motor kind of did that on my brushless revo. Although, I think it was because my battery connectors were banging on the wires right there. By the time I noticed it, I was looking at raw copper sticking out of two of them. I cleaned the area the best I could with DA then used some sensor safe silicone to cover it back up. My wires were jacketed with a fiber looking sheath vs silicone like those. So the rtv stuck to it pretty good.

I ordered another Hobbystar 4092 1730 KV motor from RCJuice. The first one I bought for my Kraton early this year is pretty beat up. Specifically the motor leads have pulled from the housing and the wires are starting to fray. I figured I'd replace it now before it flames out. I'm going to keep it for parts in the event I need some for my other 4092's. I really wish they made the motor leads a little longer so I don't have to run extensions.

Have you ever tried those pre-soldered splice tubes? Supposedly they don't add any resistance.

Those are pretty cool. I ordered some 10-12 and 14-16 ones along with what I'm hoping are some small waterproof switches. Tired of my castle esc's being hard wired on.

how hard is to make a switch that doesn't break in the first week?

This just turned up an hour ago, a week after my other 4S single charger died at only 1month old! Asked Modelsport UK if I could pay the difference on a new charger instead of a direct replacement so they sent this SkyRC T200 Duo out to me yesterday on free priority shipping. Only 100W per channel but, still so pleased to now be able to charge two batteries at a time especially my new 2x3S batteries which I've had a week and not been able to try in my Kraton for 1st time on 6S! Got to wait till Sunday to try out 6S but at least it ain't a 2nd weekend without bashing
Cheers

Possibly on the RPM a-arms. The stock have held up very well even for me. I do alot of unintended cartwheels and heavy front and rear landings. Finally had to replace one of the front a-arms after a midair collision with my sons Outcast.

I think I have enough now...???
