Just search foam and the rest is pretty self explanatory.

BTW, nice job linc!

Thanks Texas, you are a widget...

Nice job! Can you tell me or do you know if that power supply you have will give a Hyperion EOS0610i the full power of 360watts? Here is the charger if you need the specs of it. Thanks in advance!

Well, 20 amps at 14v is 280watts. Not sure if that is how you figure it out...

I actually like that compliment.

I guess my years procuring all sorts of crap have paid off......

Sorry, meant that you are the coil thingy in the bottom of a can of guiness beer...

Still, I could have called you worse, but not much if we were on the traxxas forum...

DRIFT_BUGGY · 09.30.2008, 11:48 PM

Well done

That Guinness contraption is a great invention. It makes my Guinness all frothy just like draft and I get the cool cascading effect. BTW Guinness is my favorite beer.

They also have that contraption in Boddington's Pub Ale which I really like as well. Lighter than Guinness but still has a full flavor. I don't drink weak tasteless beer, only the good stuff for this boy.

Yeah, but if you can't feel/hold it, it's hard to know for sure it's the right stuff.

About the PS: 14v @ 20A is indeed 280w, but you have to figure in charger efficiency of around 80%, so you only have about 224w available to get to the batteries...

Great Job James.. As always..

Nice carrying case.

They have descriptions of the firmness of the foam on there and comparisons to everyday items to assist. Of course you could also order some small sample pieces of a few to aid your choice. Should only cost a few bucks.

Thanks Shaun, not quite at your level (complete patio construction) yet, but I am getting there!

Hmm, comparisons to everyday items, huh. I wonder what those items are???

"This foam feels squishy, kinda like a big ole pair of......"

Cushions?

Arct1k · 10.01.2008, 02:54 PM

Have you used it yet - those 5i get warm when charging bigger packs - that foam will act as a pretty good insulator - Do you use the LBA10 data link?

Something like that, bumpers maybe...

I have not used it much, but I have enough wire length that I can lift them out to get better airflow... Mostly we will be charging 1800 and 2100 3s packs...

Ok Linc,
Now that you've completed this bad boy

, what's next on your list Sir..

When are we going to see some vid of one of your 38 builds

Well, I am trying to get both of my Bomb Proof maxx trucks finished. And I have another erevo to build, as soon as the chassis shows up. And I am working on a crawler, axail axle based, most likely with a modded pede tranny (cause I have everything) and a custom made chassis, based on a Gatekeeper GC-1. And about 10 other trucks to finish...

I will get around to doing some vids eventually...
