Bump (Starter) Box Question

You got it. Eventually the LiFe batteries will be going into my Thunder Tiger 1/5 scale motorcycles, ThunderTiger.

 

[ThunderTiger]

Funny, I was looking over my 3 T/Tiger EB4 S2 Pro buggies earlier, wondering I should have bought the m/cycle instead. Still considering it now.

Talking of LiFe batteries, I noted an Rx LiFe battery so I may just get some of those too.

Look into LiFe batteries. I have a 19V that goes in one of my helis. It's Lithium Ferite. ALL the good stuff without the bad. No explosion or charging/storage risk.

They look good...Can't find them over here though

that is pretty much how I look/looked at LiPo.....

It's the potential for explosion that puts me off the most. I have to be exceedingly careful with animals in the home and my missus with mobility issues.

Besides, it is aircraft tech and we all know that has to be handled in very specific manner.

Yep...When I was pulling a part a cheap rc heli for the motors, my brother felt the urge to cut the battery in half with some scissors. Within a few minutes it had stank the room out with this horrible gas, and was on fire.....I've never liked them since.

Over on his side of the forum.

Good cool @Rolex, although I meant where he lives...

 

[Rolex]

I'm guessing he lives on the other side of the pond.

Yes I do. Some things like that armorall are unheard of over here...

 

[ThunderTiger]

Well, we have Armorall in limey land England.....

Can't stand it myself though, prefer traditional methods for cleaning.

What shop? I might give it a try. Although I've been going good with baby wipes and compressed air....

 

[ThunderTiger]

any good car parts shop should have it...

TBH though, I prefer my steam bee with dettol in it! much better for cleaning off the muck and smells more fragrant for indoor storage.

Then, before I run the rig, I hose the hole thing with WD40. Stops anything sticking to it and makes cleaning a LOT easier, especially a nitro rig.

And, when you use dettol, you can let your newborn baby eat off it! The added bonuses are phenomenal!

 

[ThunderTiger]

Apart from being more fragrant, it usually stops pets going near it or "cocking a leg" over it so-to-speak....

I may be raiding the cleaning cupboard next time I get my buggy going...

 

[ThunderTiger]

Get down the local discount shop. usually only £2 for a big bottle of real Dettol and WD40 is usually cheap and plentiful in the places too...

Yep

Armoral is not a cleaner. When something like your car's dashboard has been thoroughly cleaned, Armoral puts a sheen on it that makes it look like the day it came out of the dealer's lot. Makes tires look better than new.

 

[ThunderTiger]

I use the old ways myself.... polish and beeswax, plus a few other old tricks.

Ok...I believe I have something along those lines in the shed- so I may try some of that...
