Spot the Difference (you'll like this)... - 06.27.2009, 05:11 PM

Item 1

Item 2

There are only two differences, one of them very small and pretty much insignificant, the other is inexcusable (and unmissable).

10 points for each difference spotted.

difference 1: one is way overpriced

difference 2: different alarm voltages 3.3 vs 3.0


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

Item 1 comes with some kind of a connector and Item 2 does not.

Item one is only $4.95, while MaxCraps rips you off, charging $19.99.



Sickening.

Item 2 does come with a connector, you just have to specify which type you want from the drop-down menu (must be a $15 balance tap connector...)

Ironically, even with paying the up-the-ass shipping from Hong Kong it is STILL cheaper than buying it at MaxCraps.

item 2 fails unless you are using a 1s lipo... 2 wires, plugs into balance harness, unless that was it's design to not check all the cells incase there was a weaker one

Neils tip for the day:

Read the whole thread!

Both items come with a balance plug connector, but regardless, they dont measure the voltage of each cell, just the total voltage in series. You are correct in that they dont check for a weaker cell as such, just the combined voltage.

TrueRc sells a similar itemn that DOES check individual cell voltages however...
