evx and lipo
 

I have a evx with titans. I was wondering how to hook up a lvc to it for lipo.
I think i know but want to make sure. The wires to the batts on each side of the motor wires. Is this right?

and it works???

I don't know if it works. I haven't got my lipo cells to try it yet. I like to make sure I have it right before hand.

In general I will use one. EVX (HV-MAXX as well) have two sets of power connectors, to connect internally two batteries in series and provide BEC only from one battery pack. Check image for details...

Here is a pic of what I have. You can see the wires going to the lvc. Do I have the right wires hooked up to read the 14.8 volts?

Edit
I missed the lvc in your pic. I have the right wires hooked up. Thanks alot artur. I knew you could help me. :017:

Yes, it is correct.

P.S. Any time, Leroy!

I just ordered a lipo shield from dimension eng. I want to hook it up as you did. What is the best way to make the actual connection. Your diagram shows where to make, but Im looking for how to make? I cant tell from the other photo. Should I just pull back some of the cover and solder right in?

Thanks.

As long as it is hooked to the right two wires. It will not matter on how you do it.
As long as it has a good connection. Your perference is up to you.

I will agree with Leroy it is up to you.

- cut heatshrink and unsolder wire from W.S.Deans connector
- put new heatshrink
- resolder wire back to connector with LVC wire
- melt the heatshrink

Repeat the same for other side...

P.S. It is possible to do that inside EVX, let me know if you want to do that, will look cleaner...

I just got the lvc today in the mail. I'll take a look at it tonight and see what I want to do. Hurry up maxxamps and send those packs!!

hopefully it will work:p

Here is what I came up with. I cut off the stock tamiya connectors and used the deans ultra. Kinda tough to solder them on as the wires from the esc are so short. To lazy to take the esc outta the truck.

The big question is do I have it hooked up correct??

(The green part on the wire is some heatshrink as I boogered the case of that thin wire a bit.)

Looks good! You've got everything wired correctly.

your running two 2s2p 7.4 lipo cell packs? i have a feeling that those titans will burn out.

Why would 4s be worse than 14 cells? The titans hold up to 14 cells OK.
