Metallover, I just recieved your lipo. I do like your wiring very "inventive".... Also thanks for the free coke coupon!!!

Should be able to get it correctly assembled this evening and get it back in the mail. Do you want a new deans plug and 13 gauge wiring? Not sure if you wanted to keep the sub 14 gauge wiring and the hxt deans knock off that is on it. I do not currently have any jst females... I do not use jst on anything so I never bothered to make adapters...

I would like new wire, that wire is a little wimpy. You can do whatever with the deans plug, there's nothing wrong with the current one that I know of. That's ok about the female jst adapter too... I might have found a solution.

And make sure to enjoy that pop! Thanks for doing this for me Linc.

No prob, lipo is done. New tap wires, new deans plug, new 13 gauge power wires. And new black shrink that does not look like it was applied by the blind...

I will drop it in the mail on my way home, priority of course. And thanks for the pop!!!

"And new black shrink that does not look like it was applied by the blind..."

I am rolling on the floor reading that - ouch.... I must say that plastic shrink is like onion skin - it just vapourises if you apply too much heat on one spot. Using a blow torch ?? even my 2 cents gas lighter blows holes in the shrink. Have to use a hair dryer to ensure even shrinkage.

I figured someone with a dry sense of humor would like that!

I use a heat gun on low setting to shrink the packs. Heat the ends a bit to get them almost tight, the run sown the narrow sides, then the wider sides, then finish off the ends. Seems to produce the best repeatable results in that order...
