    Sweet! I am planning to order some more. I got the used 6500's in and they are great. Picked up a Hyperion EOS 0720i Super Duo to cut my charging time by more than half. Going from 100W to 500W. woohoo Not sure if i want to sell the Orion touch charger or keep it as a backup. Hunting for...

    My second electric rig, stampede 4x4 vxl

    So it appears to be the same central driveline as the slash 4x4. I haven't looked at any of the breakdown diagrams but visually it looks identical. I'm going to take a look at mine and see if it is showing any signs of wear. Were you using standard metal shielded ball bearings? I have never...

    Any more root cause analysis done on that thing @olds97_lss ? Obviously there was some decent heat being generated if it melted the plastic. Makes you wonder if the bearing got trash in it and seized or at least started to drag which caused the entire assembly to heat up.

    Haha, I am in the same boat! I sent an email to SMC to see if they would cancel my pre-order and then i ordered a pair of the standard 2S 5000's that they had in stock for $70. Not two minutes later i come across a deal online for a pair of SMC 2S 6500's with 5 runs on them for $50 shipped...

    Did you ever hear anything about shipping on them? I am thinking about cancelling my order and finding something else. I want to be up and running this weekend

    Home Automation\Instrumentation

    Plans changed again. I wanted a local database but after playing with the mydevice platform from Cayenne I was hooked on a cloud solution. Their dashboard, web gui, phone app and Arduino library are just awesome. I set it all up in a few hours and once i am home i can easily attach a couple...

    Looks like HPI is getting in the scale game

    Except that Axial hasn't had inventory for months. Seems like a premium time to grab some market share.

    $94 later I have a pair of True Spec Premium 7.4V 7200mAh on pre-order. EDIT: and $26 for 8 new EC5 connectors. o_Oo_O Decided to go with the 7200 vs the 9500 as they will fit the slash 4x4 and are a little lighter.

    I'll wait to hear your runtime review of the 9500's before buying anything. Honestly i would probably be ok with either pack. I had trouble getting 10AWG wire to fit in the traxxas connector. It would solder ok but i had to file it a bit to make it fit after. They are high dolla too! After...

    The "What did you buy today?" thread...

    Haha, yeah I hear that. That sounds like plenty of runtime to me! My only concern is that they state the True Spec Extreme 2S 9500 is not really intended for use everyday. Its more of a race pack rather than a beater pack and is more susceptible to swelling and reduced lifespan . That's what...

    Oh awesome. So you would recommend the 9500 2S for the ERBE or the 7200?

    @olds97_lss Are you a big fan of SMC lipo's? I need to pick some up for the erevo and they came highly recommended from another guy.

    Erevo Brushless edition. Used but with only a few runs on it. It's the first "larger scale" rc that I have had since the Baja 5B I got from Chip Cross back in the day. @alpinehyperlite remember that thing?

    Home Automation\Instrumentation

    I put this project on a slight hold since I made the mistake of browsing the for sale section and a brushless erevo caught my eye. I scrapped the original plans because the Arduino platform is far more robust when considering sensor options and the ability to write logic based on the IO. The...

    Home Automation\Instrumentation

    I was looking for some freedom to work with a variety of sensors and perhaps integrate a bit of logic into the mix with an Arduino so I am pretty much stuck with a DIY approach rather than an off the shelf. I have a decent home wireless network with a TP-Link C5400 as the primary router and a...

    Home Automation\Instrumentation

    Anybody else dabbling in this area? I am looking to monitor some stuff around the house such the duty cycle on my well pump, water pressure, air conditioning inlet and outlet temps, pool temp, mains power draw and who knows what else. The second stage is dumping this into a cloud dashboard...
