Every single car, for the battery terminals? üòõ |
ICE cars, anyway! |
lots of cars have 'auxillery' outputs on the fuse block, and use bolt terminals for those |
Then you have every single ground in the car, going to a bolt |
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a wire to wire connection with bolts |
That weren’t to something fixed |
wire to wire, no, but that is no different then wire to something else. |
they are just using shit crimps |
The cheap crimps are nickel plated copper, I don’t think any of them are actually steel |
Look at how poorly that shit is crimped |
its like, hardly even touching the wire |
I bet if you cut the shrinkwrap off, you can pull that wire right out |
The guy said this isn’t the first time it’s happened to that wire so that’s probably him crimping it with pliers |
a proper crimp grabs wire so tightly that the wire outta bulge out on either side of the crump |
Yea, with some shitty IDC crimp pliers |
likely on an uninsulated crimp üòõ |
or using the wrong AWG crimp setting |
And/or the wrong crimps for that wire |
Plus, you know how underspeced the wires are on every kit that uses those stupid boxes |
yea lets just send 40~60 phase amps down PVC insulated 14ga |
Yes but I doubt it’s pvc lol |
Some guy had the block completely char and the wires were still ok |
that pic looks like PVC, its all soft and flowy behind where it melted. but sure, maybe its some other shit insulation |
Again, you only see those blocks on the shittyest kits |
I have this coming. Currently in the U.K. hopefully will be with me soon |
So many duplicate jaws but oh well lol |
Can do JST and molex etc too |
Niceee! |
Was either that or tiny dies for the hydraulic crimper |
lol |
you considered it, heavily. |
Welp I just shreded/exploded my hayes hydraulic brakes |
Hayes? |
Sounds like a good’n |
Metal pieces on the road, pudle of fluid, and I smashed my balls badly |
And these were pricey brakes |
I think I will never trust any thing but cable brakes now |
Ouch |
Which brakes you get and what part exploded |
These brakes seem overpriced |
Uhh the caliper part |
Gonna tell you tomorrow exactly what broke and show pics if I don't forget |
These are some hayes brakes with carbon brake levers, not sure what model |
That's the t2 |
Welp there you go, dude that sold me them said they are very good |
how much u payfor em |
things are like 300 |
for that price i woulda done magura or shimanos |
But hey, atleast I rode my bike 5 hours almost non stop on throttle and still got about 20km range left. So thats nice |
They costed me about 200€ on a discount |
new bike will have cable brake for the rear, and 4 pot hyrdro for front |
235 isnt bad |
did the fill port or one of the pistons give out? |
No Idea. It gushing fluid tho |
So pistons I think |
wierd |
did u death grip em? |
Maybe a bit cuz they would not stop sounding like a dying cat |
did u ever bed the rotors? |
and new pads? |
i have a feeling u over pressured em, and there was some other issue that cause it to sploog |
Uhh the one pad that flew out was bare metal with zero material left on it..maybe that was the issue |
Lets hope the brake is not fully dead amd just needs fluid and pads. Atleast I could re sell it then |
LOL how long were u riding em on bare metal? |
No clue. But probs not long at all. The bare metal was only a tiny bit ripped up |
I think im gonna buy the best cable brakes on the market. That seems like a good idea. |
Maybe even manufacture a 2 caliper mount. Will be just as good as hydraulic but only a tiny bit more weight but ultra reliable. |
eh, i need to go hydro for the weight ima be at for the new bike. hydros are good for that |
especially on the front |
ima go hydros in front, mech in rear |
someone put a key in their charge port rather than the key port... |
https://youtu.be/Ig4NK2xeboI?t=858 |
this is what happens when you put 7kW+ through a 1kW motor |
looks like a movie prop |
https://youtu.be/EgtKwxzgggg |
Proof lipos are safe (watch full video, they aren't actually safe) |
Took a while to warm up lol |
hahah |
2 mech in the front will be just as good as 1 hydro tho. And more reliable. Its not like calipers are heavy |
Gonna have nearly 500lbs total rider and bike weight |
Gonna be going for dual rotor I think |
Plus I'm going 4 piston, might adapt some moto hydros |
500lbs dont need dual rotor |
Just a 300mm with reg motorcycle hydraulic will be plenty |
Here is the pads |
And the inner cup part/plunger and pin |
Looool |
U fragged thtlat pad |
Its as much as I could gather at 2 in the morning on my knees searching for the parts it spat out lol |
Yeah |
I hope its fixable |
Will be more easy to sell |
The piston and such might work still... |
It squirts fluid my dude |
Looking at those pads no wonder brake exploded |
I saw some dude on reddit rode on pads like that fine though.. so I thought id be fine too |
2 things |
He probably wasn't hammering it like you and he's an idiot. |
You brakes were probably worth more than his bike |
Idk about that |
