So first get a pair of needle nose pliers and insert them into the C adapter’s like this

Then twist them so it’s like this, this should now fit on the truck. If it doesn’t then just shove the pliers further down at the first step

On the clamp, the screw has two sides it can go into, you want to insert the screw into the threaded side first

Like this

Then when your near filling the gap get a piece of strong metal (I use the metal ring thing from the front of my dicky pulley) then tighten the screw until it bends the metal out

Then just put it in the truck and remove the screw and you’re all good, just when using that extra piece of metal make sure it isn’t obstructing the part where the truck goes into

This is my method for getting these mounts on. Its yet to fail me

Does anyone know which peg is the neg and which peg is pos on the bkb charge port?

Indiangummy · January 13, 2019, 7:07pm

You have a volt meter? Plug in your charger and check the voltage. If it’s negative then switch the probes.

J_Dizzle · January 13, 2019, 7:14pm

It’s broken that is why I’m asking in the noob question thread

Arek · January 13, 2019, 7:34pm

How do you break a multimeter? xD

J_Dizzle · January 13, 2019, 7:47pm

The prong that plugs into the wall snapped lol

Does nobody use this charge port?!

Arek · January 13, 2019, 7:49pm

Send pic of the entire label with all the ratings

J_Dizzle · January 13, 2019, 8:35pm

I figured out that the large silver peg on the bottom is neg, but are both of the top pegs pos?

Arek · January 13, 2019, 8:38pm

From you most recent pic: 1 Negative 2 Insertion detection switch 3 Center positive pin(biggest contact)

That’s what it should be, but manufacturer could swap these, there should be a icon on the charger brick.

J_Dizzle · January 13, 2019, 8:49pm

Like this?

Arek · January 13, 2019, 8:50pm

Yeah but no guarantees without the photo I asked for.

J_Dizzle · January 13, 2019, 8:51pm

What photo is that? Sorry I’m not following

Arek · January 13, 2019, 8:51pm

Photo of the charger label where it shows the output amps votlage etc.

J_Dizzle · January 13, 2019, 8:52pm

Arek · January 13, 2019, 8:55pm

What the heck, it doesn’t show the important icon. Like this one: http://make.markdereijer.nl/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/AH56R_FAQ_11.png

Well then you just have to assume it’s as I said. Or get a multimeter.

Is it possible to power a dual belt drive set up with a meepo Sanyo battery and have it perform similar to boosted board? Also cost way less?

briman05 · January 13, 2019, 11:49pm

If I did the calculations correct and looked at the right meepo battery the meepo battery comes out to be 291.6 wh which is more than the boosted. The meepo is a 10s battery. I’m not sure what the boosted battery is usually those batteries from those companies are not interchangeable as the esc is set to specific settings and are not changeable.

jxslepton · January 14, 2019, 12:02am

I’ve seen random dual belt motor kits from the diy site or even on eBay. All I would need is a dual belt drive esc and that kit, connect it to a board and battery and am pretty much set up?

dareno · January 14, 2019, 12:05am

Do not buy the diye belt drive kit.
