@DonCox I have two words for you sir Youda Man ! Paperclip into G Thank you!

POWER ON !!! no smoke - yay but stuck in park - boo I fly RC airplanes, so I have a made up a series harness for six small 1350mah battery packs (two 4s and four 3S) just trying to check all my connections. I have labeled the wire connectors for the VOTOL pigtail and the vehicle wiring...

Thank you Don for the response There are quite a few wire colors that dont match the schematics, just has me nervous to plug in power I guess.......

Do colors really matter ? :cautious: So my battery has been shipped, so I'm back looking at my wiring harness The three speed plug connection Harness drawing says Pink..................Third gear Green................GND YellowWhite......First Gear The throttle sheet says...

so yesterday I received this email and about a dozen pics from Miranda at Amorge Hello my friend We have created the battery, please check if it is suitable for your frame? If it is suitable, we will ship it to you all of the dimensions checked out, a few were actually a bit smaller, and...

Halg I could be wrong here, but I think Miranda Amorge is planning one QS10 for B+ and another for B- BMS are capable of monitoring cells during both charge and dis-charge. From what I have read, many builders "bypass" this function during operation to reduce heat, and just set the Controller...

My original battery choice was going to be Molicel P45B, but after a bit of research I am leaning more towards the Samsung 50S. SAMSUNG 50S: HOT GARBAGE OR MISUNDERSTOOD GEM? According to people much smarter than me, the Samsung peak amps is very overstated. But I am willing to trade max...

…more amore’ for Amorge For the last couple of weeks, I have been going back and forth with Miranda. I would get a bit frustrated with the language translations, but she has probably been equally frustrated with my lack of battery building knowledge and endless questions and multiple design...

No one is swapping motors, just filling up gas tanks ;)

Here are few pics from another FTR Hare Scramble, the PBTTR on Jan 17. Starks, several gas frame conversions, and even a couple of Surrons.
