o_O ... An afterthought: Since your bats are single cells YOU CAN charge several of them (up to six on your iMax) together at once. The charger will "see" the separate batteries as cells and balance each battery as if it were just a cell in a bigger battery IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT CABLING OR...

A "micro losi" to a "whatever you've got" adapter is in this link, or at least points you in the right direction (look around the bottom of the page). You can either convert it to a plug you know you have from your charger or even get just the losi to bare wires and solder banana plugs on to it...

:rolleyes: ... The iMax B6AC is (imho) one of the best chargers you can buy. It can do anything you need for any battery you have. Yes, there's a learning curve with it, but that's because you can do so much with it. It is an accurate computerized BALANCE CHARGER, but when you "gang charge"...

:eek: ... Moz, the way your schematic is drawn there's a direct short between pos and neg at the cam !

Glad to be able to help. :) Sorry for getting hung up on that whole switch modification B.S. which was totally unnecessary ... lol ... it wasn't until I had the little bugger in my hands and running that I remembered how it actually worked. :p

:rolleyes: ... Ok, finally found mine so now I remember exactly how it works. All this nonsense about adding the switch is just for actually recording with the camera. This camera was meant to be plugged into the quad and controlled by the quad's circuitry "connecting" those wires for either...

Yes, that's all you really need to do. In fact you could just leave the plug as it is and use a paper clip or something to momentarily connect the black and yellow wires. When you slide that tiny power switch on there's a tiny red light inside the camera (kinda hard to see actually) that will be...

:rolleyes: ... 8, 500 for the bird and engine THEN there's the servos, gyros, RX, and other misc stuff ... like I said approaching ten grand (good guess, heh?) ... I remember when you almost had to take out a second mortgage to get good radio gear (Futaba was the sh*t back then) .... I got a...

Dunno, but my guess would be approaching ten grand or so, at least several thousands of bucks minimum, considering you can shell out about four thousand just for a turbine ! Like anything, you can "go cheap" , "middle of the road" or "high quality" and double or even triple the cost depending on...

:rolleyes: .... Yep, that's the ticket ! I love when they use real turbines too.... that unique smell and sound they make adds to the coolness factor . My rockets were almost exactly like his, relatively short ranged then exploded, but mine went a lot further, flew more straight and packed a lot...

With all props off, double check all your settings then power test each motor individually. Also make sure you don't have a mounting screw protruding too far into the motor which could bind it up, removing the motor's screws that's in question and trying it again will tell that. If everything...

o_O ... Not familiar with that quad or radio, but maybe it IS bound and just not ARMED ? This video may be of help:

Welcome aboard ! :) I'm not familiar with either neither ... lol ... but, as mentioned, someone will surely be along shortly who is. ;)

:rolleyes: ... I bought that same exact setup for my first FPV gear and it works great ! With the camera being so small, light, and having it's own battery you can attach it to just about anything to make it FPV. All you need to do is get a tiny normally open switch and connect it to the Yellow...

:rolleyes: ... ROFLMAO ...

I have "Alexa" and think it's one of the coolest gadgets to come along in quite some time. Anything you can devise that would incorporate her with autonomy in robotics would make for (imho) a fascinating conversation ! My first serious computer programming began with being taught COBOL in...

:rolleyes: ... Moz, the whole point is "having give" as you put it. As for the screws, I've addressed that aspect of it too .... perhaps you didn't fully read my post? I agree that getting rid of the cause of the vibration is the best resolution but, like I also said, it's not always such an...

I've seen arguments both for and against cushioning both sides. Of course loctite IS A MUST, otherwise you're reducing the effectiveness of the cushioning by tightening the screws enough to be fully secured. The gist of it was if both sides are cushioned then, by allowing travel both toward...

:eek: ... HOLY COW that is one Badass bird ! .... LOVE IT !! ... :D My best was a Jet Ranger with an Enya 60 in it. Was working on a Dauphine that was going to be modded to mimic Airwolf (remember that TV show?) but life happened ... lol ... and that project got shelved and eventually parted...

:rolleyes: Agreed ! .... Soft mounted motors when considering vibration transmission through the screws may SEEM contradictory, but it's easier to understand the benefits when you consider this: Without soft mounts there is a broad solid surface to surface contact area (motor against arm) that...
