Figured out the charger and balancer. The LBA10 is cool, it's a balancer, discharger, and even standalone!
Ran 1 pack through the truck, still have some left in the LiPo when I charged it. I ran it for about 3 mins on the 2nd pack before I stripped my 4th spur. :( I ordered a 34T Hot Racing spur which should be here today.
I'm still having those glitching problems. We'll see what I can do, I just put in new transmitter batteries and I'm gonna check the crystals and connections to see if anything is wrong or coming off. Anyone have any suggestions? The BEC and Rx are in the Tekno box, sealed off from the mamba. I also used heat shrink everywhere, looks a lot better, especially on the 5.5 plugs.
Oh, and I mounted everything! :D I made a 1/4" sheet of lexan for the bottom of the battery tray and mounted it with 3mm and 4mm screws. I also made a 1/8" plate for the Mamba Max out of auminum and mounted that with 4mm screws. I soldered out the switch on the Mamba and heatshrinked that, then extended the BEC wiring so it could reach into the box easily. After that was all done, I made myself the brace for the RCM heat sink. It didn't come with one on the back, so I had to fab one. Came out nice, just needs to be trimmed on the sides. Lastly, I took a 12V fan from an old Pentium processor and cut it to length, then soldered it on. Still gotta mount it, probably gonna use silicone or something similar.
Now all I need is some sticky velcro and foam for the Mamba and some velcro straps for the battery and I'll be set. I'm thinking some Tekno or GorillaMax straps. Then I can focus on making this bad boy GREEN!
Pics soon to come!
