Dave just gave me an idea...everyone always posts pics of their flying machines, but we never get to see where they were built! I have just extended my workbench in the workshop, put a bit of cheap carpet on it, and organised everything into containers etc, when my wife walked in and said...

No, I wish, just a little wind up! Have a look at my next new topic...

Thanks Dave, I'll give it a try as soon as the connectors arrive :)

Pity I can't bring my workshop with ;)

I've set it to 5v, I initially started using the led's with the esc power (5V), so had resistors to suit. Gunter.

Thanks OVDT, I'd rather not make the cable smaller if I can help it. I have 10 gauge to make the distribution ring with, so I want to try and stay with that size. Just ordered a few pairs of these Dave, the Traxxas website says it does 12 awg, but I'll give them a try anyway! Gunter.

Thanks guys, I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet (pardon the pun) and buy some bigger bullet connectors...as I have already got the batteries and cable for the power distribution...

Sounds good, when are you planning to go/return? I was thinking of leaving early Saturday morning and coming back early Sunday morning.

I forgot to mention, I also got a circuit board to wire everything up to:

I bought a ubec like this to power all my lights directly from the main lipo at 5v:

I have a nitro 4x4, I'll stick that in the boot as well :) Does anyone have a GPS follow me device, we could have some fun with that! Gunter.

Good to hear that there are still some good companies out there!

I have just received my new batteries and 10awg wire for making the power harness. The battery comes with bullet connectors, but I want to use XT60 plugs. The problem is that the wire doesn't quite fit into the end of the plug! I can't even see how it's easily possible to solder 10awg to a deans...
