My blue 12AWG finally arrived. I ordered it along wikth some red and black but the blue was back ordered.

So this was a warranty replacement from HH for an ESC that wasn't even broke. I only had to wait on it for close to 3 months O__o
So just incase you arent aware, the Firma 150A ESC will not power on properly on only a 2S lipo. I called HH tech support because I thought it was broken because it would power on but would just flash either 5 or 7 red flashes (can't remember exactly). They told me it was defective and made me cut all the wires off of the ESC in order to warranty replace it so i did. Then a few weeks later, I went to use another one that I had laying around and low and behold it did the same thing. Come to find out it was because I was trying to test them both using a 2S lipo. Soon as I stuck a 3S on it, it worked. So i destroyed a perfectly good ESC and had to wait 3 months for a replacement because HH doesn't know their own products. smdh

Picked up some of these soldered butt connectors to try out next time I need to connect 2 pieces of wire.

Picked up a second battery checker. This one is quite nice compared to my old one from 10 years ago thats almost the same but more basic. I'm gonna post some additional info and pics on this guy in the tools section.

Since I've been doing a lot of comparison stuff with Deans connectors I picked up a bunch of AMASS brand Deans to try out. IDK if theyre any good but I like the little protective plastic pieces that they come with instead of heatshrink. Of course ill probably forget to put them on half the time but

Picked up a bunch of bullet connectors of varying sizes. I now have 2mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, and 8mm bullet connectors.

Picked up some EC8s for my connector collection. These puppies are huge!

Picked up my one of my top two favorite bearing lubes plus some 8mm bullets.

And last but not least I picked up a bunch of original Deans connectors including a bunch of the new ones that are supposed to be better.

I am getting a second replacement battery sent to me and I just noticed the one on the way now has an IC3 connector. I told the guy multiple times it is for a Granite or Kraton. I guess it is now for a future crawler.

OMG dam man sorry thats sucks!! I would say change it.. But there's a little wire in the plug.. that I guess powers the chip.. So I'm not really sure how that wire really works.. To be honest.....

I'll just use it for something else. I am buying a couple SMC packs for the Kraton when I get paid.
