Then you would be at 6s, definitely not a good idea for 12a esc's and motors with a max draw of 11a

Ohhh..

Where woild I connect this to? Is this the right kind? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=401034576378&alt=web

Would paralleling two nano 1.3 batteries work better then one bigger battery? I mean weigh wise and with C in mind.

No it wouldn't, would still be 3S.

Yeah, I had that thought last night right before I fell asleep lol. I was still thinking series for some reason

 

[johnathan]

I just recieved my kit today!! And I have a few questions.. does anyone have kik messenhwr with experience so I can send pictures and ask questions

 

[johnathan]

Also, if I wanted to make a power harness, what type of wire do I need to use? Because the power distribution board is kinda big.. and im worried ill short it out by placing it in a bad spot.

 

[tylorwashere]

14 or 16 gauge silicone wire

That you everyone for replying to me. My cc3d has wat looks to.be a factory plastic casing. Would I unscrew this and just put the board on the quad? If so, how and where do I mount it?

 

[johnathan]

Do I need nylon stand offs for the cc3d board? and.I think..I found where I can mount it On the frame. Where I only have four free holes left after I put the frame together. They look like they will match up the the screw holes the cc3d case is using to bind the board

 

[RENOV8R]

Many ways to do it. You can leave it in the case and stick it to the frame with Velcro. Or you can remove it from the case. Look at the centre of the bottom chassis plate, there's 4 holes that line up with the CC3D. Bolt on 4 3mm nylon standoffs and sit the board on top of them. I'll get some pics to show you what I'm talking about.

 

[johnathan]

Well pictures aside, I understand. The four hoels do line. I may kist velcro it, but eventually ince I figure it all out I want to seal the chip to water proof it. Any advice on what I should use?

 

[johnathan]

If you could tell me a good place to mount a good power distribution.board at so I dont have to make a power harness thou. Because I cant think if how it will go on there without the board touching something and shorting out

You can als do this Shortsandoffs first with PDB andFCB on top

[johnathan]

This seems the best option. But my pdb board holes dont line up to those on the frame. I dont want to drill new.holes, so this great option is off the table. Alas

does this go inbetween the two main frame boards like the arms do? Also, what are they for, and how do people ususlly mount the four led strips? Do they attach to the board directly? Or is it user choice? Are they needed?
