I used the bolt that came with the headlight lol |
hmm my grandad might actually have some screw extractors |
Dunno why you didn't pre drill it first |
ya he needs to honestly just weld a plate there and make a new dropout over the old one lol. and fill in the corners |
For anyone wondering, sharp corners make for stress concentrations where cracks start, a smooth large radius is strongest |
thats why slots in tubing and such usually have a slighty larger hole at the throat to make it less likely to split |
^^yup, he *almost* has that as a core concept in there but not really |
Also the way to stop cracks in metal/fiberglass/carbon/etc, drill an oversized hole at the end when repairing |
yep it helps spread the stress of the crack and cut its off |
Ah shit what u do fam |
Wasn't me |
Ah |
Some guy hit a curb with probably shit pressure |
When I hit the curb at 30mph it bent at best |
tldr make sure your terminals are constrained when youre working with live |
Yeaa, they kinda like to untwist when you pull on the cable. |
unit still works though, was just the battery that shorted |
(and thats ok too) |
Just saying don't let it happen a 2nd time.. |
but yea, those post connectors arnt great for U connectors like that when its thick wire cause they come undone and pull out as you have seen |
the banana hole plug in the center is better |
the posts are more for when your really lazy and your like 'yea I just wanna strip this wire and jam it in there because meh' |
Someone blew a sabvoton in another discord |
Probably Trens alt account |
you knwo you fucked up when not just the first 2 fets blow but the entire array |
All legs nice |
Which discord? |
Lmao i only blow up batteries not controllers |
Wow you haven't blown any controllers at your power levels? |
i think he just over specs em |
He absolutely does |
That's why he blows up batteries lmfao |
The only controller that died on me was an AliExpress kls7230s, when i later rebought the same model directly from Kelly it has never had issues for a good year (and going) |
The AliExpress one died day 2 or something, and the warranty replacement died day 2 |
But yeah my 8080h has never even thermal throttled, that thing is ridiculous |
130km/h continuously, raping my battery back then and not caring |
holy crap at 130kph on a bike lol |
(Motorbike, I know, but still, holy crap lol.. iv been that fast in my truck and its like holy crap) |
It's not so crazy when the roads are well paved out here on freeways and such. Like in Los Angeles it was certainly crazy to go that speed on the broken roads.. |
People would tell me how they went 200km/h on a super motorcycle and I used to think how on earth. But yeah these desert roads are so perfect I can imagine it |
All flat, perfect pavement, pretty straight (not much curving road), warm weather |
I sometimes recklessly go about 4 or 5 mph faster than the beach bike path‚Äôs 8 mph speed limit. üëÄ |
U hooligan |
A true maveric |
pickups tend get awfully light and squirrelly too much beyond the higher end of highway speeds |
i may have reached... slightly irresponsible speeds in my project car before, but the idea of a blowout or animal strike somewhere well into the 200's is rightfully terrifying as a slightly older adult |
Yea I could feel it, And I know from too many video games that actually have any physics whatsoever that one minor dip in the road and byebye all control |
basically, reserved for the finest of freshly paved backwoods roads where I can see for 6 goddamn miles in a 'valley' |
yep. |
theres only like 2 sections of highway in this province (that iv seen) built smooth enough for such speeds. |
nearing 250 the world passes by too fast to be safely managed/controlled without some really professional training |
.. and nothing in your way lol |
plus the braking distance LOL |
there are probably 2-3 roads here that would be alright candidates, within 20 min |
oh good god |
getting brake fade as you reach normal highway speeds |
fun |
I remember doing little laps around a road with two cul-de-sacks at the end, new development before any houses installed so literaly nobody, no traffic, nothing to interfear with visibility |
I think I got up to lap 3 or 4 before my brake pedal went down to the floor without tires locking up: my brakes overheated |
coming down to 100 from past 200 makes it feel like 50 for a few seconds |
mine have been upgraded since, but i did get fade once on a stretch of (really, really fun) twisty road... somewhere around the ~60km mark though, tbf |
but that calls for an immediate fluid flush and replacement |
really? I left mine.. lol -_- |
Truck later got taken out while I was at a stop sign by some fucking idiot across the street trying to beat through traffic.. through traffic hit him, spun him 180 degrees around into my front end |
ime they got a bit spongier and faded faster after it |
goddamn that is a frustrating accident |
Yea |
ICBC wrote off my truck, and when I asked "Why? what exactly was declared wrong with it? what was the repair quote?" |
the literally laughed at me and told me "THATS NOT HOW THIS WORKS" |
its exactly how this works |
my dad got an appraiser to come by once |
fuckers ended up having to pay like $5800 because they have been writing off so many trucks theres nothing low end on the market anymore |
to re-value the totaled car |
my next truck, bought for $2600 |
hah |
small dent in rear end.. damage quoted at $2700 |
Truck valued at $1600 |
I asked.. Where are you getting that evalation from? |
they send me there data, its from FUCKING ABERTA |
the home of derelict trucks |
mother fuckers where trying to tell me that quotes for a 20 year old vehicle, you can't bring into the province without a safety inspection, was valid here |
really just a shitty attempt at lying |
Meanwhile im like "Can't find any matching models eh? whats the difference in value between the regular cab and extended cab?" "Oh, $300" |
suuure |
"Ok, Then this add, 50 miles away matches my vehicle, its $4000. So does this one for $5500. And this one for $6000.. Minus the $300 for the difference in cab length, HOW ABOUT YOU FIX MY FUCKING TRUCK NOW?" |
based on the cheapest single and ext cabs found rotting in someone's swampy yard |
my dad got pretty lucky, as far as a totaled car goes - the adjuster ended up being from the same country and friendly, got 6500 for a car that was mostly going for 2-4k then |
tbf it was an amazingly clean example.... with 575k on it |
Just seen a video of a guy using a grinder to cut off the thread on a 32650 cell |
...and it started leaking |
(these type) |
The only time I got a cell to leak was accidentally spot welding the side of one. I think I was welding two strips together and foolishly had cells under it |
smooth brain panic moment and ripped that shit out and threw it into the backyard |
But.... Why? |
Exactly lol |
He messaged me later saying he wanted to make the cells smaller lol |
..... But that's like.... Minimal space saving. |
Just cut them in half |
