50 would make a 10S3P and a 10S2P

martijntje42 · January 20, 2019, 11:14pm

or 2x 12s2p with some fuckup space

b264 · January 20, 2019, 11:15pm

But using 12S leave no fuckup space for blowing ESCs

paulbriz · January 20, 2019, 11:17pm

Can you please explain fuck up space please

b264 · January 20, 2019, 11:19pm

My battery currently has a xt60 but only the female piece, I have an extra xt90, can I just cut the xt60 off and replace with the xt90 without any problems?

paulbriz · January 20, 2019, 11:27pm

Yea of course you can , connectors Don’t affect anything

b264 · January 20, 2019, 11:27pm

Replacing the connector on your battery is extremely dangerous and can cause a structure fire if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing

Generally you want to do only one wire at a time and completely finish it and insulate it with heatsrink before you cut loose the other wire.

paulbriz · January 20, 2019, 11:28pm

Perhaps , when you see solder one half put tape on there terminal to eliminate any risk of short circuit

buildityourself · January 20, 2019, 11:36pm

So, just cut one wire, attach it to the xt90 then cut the other one and attach it? Heat shrink being put on throughout

b264 · January 20, 2019, 11:37pm

Just make sure one wire goes all the way to “completely done, and insulated” before you touch the other wire at all.

Also if you solder on the XT90 it helps to keep them plugged together so the pins don’t bend when they get hot.

Gotcha, thanks!

Ian-mountainboard · January 21, 2019, 12:34am

What do you mean by fuck up space?

mmaner · January 21, 2019, 1:30am

Extras in case you mess some up.

briman05 · January 21, 2019, 2:33am

Couldn’t you cut one wire wrap it in electric tape for temporary then cut the other lead and tape that. Then start to solder them.

replied to the wrong guy ninja edit

Not so ninja fml

dareno · January 21, 2019, 2:36am

Also put a female on there not a male. Much harder to short a female and for the confusion aspect the gender refers to the pins not the casing

female.

Thats better

Question for everybody recommending wera hex plus - do any of you have hands on experience as to how well Bondhus holds up compared to them?

Just curious as I got the Bondhus about two years ago, just before I started reading into Esk8. Haven’t used them heavily, but they holding up great so far.
