Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

[Eventorizon]

Had the last load of goodies turn up today, so this weekend I will finally be able to get Conker 3 wired up and tested!

So we have:
-2x 2.7Ah 6S Optipower ultra packs, 15mm wide weapon timing belts, voltage regulators for the lighting, some thrust bearings for the front wheels, Castle Link USB to monitor the ESC's and last the 3D printed batteries and electronics mount. That is 5mm thick solid fill Nylon 6.

Lipos are a fraction longer as usual so they are a snug fit length wise with enough space to gently push in some padding to keep them from shifting front to back. I will cut the cables shorter to get the EC5's in and allow the wires to slip down the holes on the right and off to the safety links.

And this shows just how tight everything is going to be. I designed it to be snug but its going to be tricky to route all the cables neatly and safely. But when it is done right it will look brilliant!

Sunday afternoon is when I plan to have her all wired up and working with just a few final tweaks to do, providing the first run doesn't reveal any issues.
