Received a nice present from RDQ today - A couple of Runcam Thumb Pros, Emax Eco II 2306 1900kv motors, Xing 1404 3600kv motors, and an RDQ Source One v4 frame - Time to get building! I am using a 'mixed' FC/ESC stack from parts I had laying around: ESC: Tekko32 45A Mini FC: Holybro Kakute H7 Will be running a Crossfire Nano for RX, and 6s 1300mAh lipos ![[Image: lY22vqDl.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/lY22vqDl.jpg) ![[Image: 7o9WYfbl.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/7o9WYfbl.jpg) ![[Image: A1mM3fpl.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/A1mM3fpl.jpg) ![[Image: ZO99a9Xl.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/ZO99a9Xl.jpg) ![[Image: YP2Oemwl.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/YP2Oemwl.jpg) ![[Image: EGy3uSnl.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/EGy3uSnl.jpg) ![[Image: xxaQCptl.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/xxaQCptl.jpg) I have a couple more small things to take care of, and wire in the Thumb to a spare UART, and hopefully in the morning I can take it on it's first flight (It's currently 12:25am here LOL) Posts: 1,364 Threads: 118 Likes Received: 1,411 in 728 posts Likes Given: 1,069 Joined: Jun 2019 Reputation: 41 Nice mate.

That was your post on the facebook group mate? I saw that, ouch. That sucks. I can't stand this hobby sometimes. Just had my geprc cinelog35 frame break AGAIN, god damn almost hate this quad now. Oh and you've got a new sub  Feel free to sub back! lol..

Eeek. And ouch, and fire hazard. Maybe zip tie your power wires to a standoff with a bit of slack? Dangerous operations.

Agree with Lemony, I always zip tie my battery leads to a standoff column. You know, I have never had a battery eject. I did have one get knocked out upon hitting the ground, but it stayed connected probably due to the zip tie. Yeah, this was a big 6S begger on a heavy 7 inch quad. It hit the ground pretty hard. I am surprised nothing broke. • Posts: 1,843 Threads: 203 Likes Received: 346 in 264 posts Likes Given: 306 Joined: May 2020 Reputation: 11 08-Aug-2022, 07:03 AM (This post was last modified: 08-Aug-2022, 07:03 AM by Rob3ddd.) I agree with previous posts. A strain relief for LiPo lead wires is highly recommended. I like using some tape around a stand-off or frame as in picture. The tape can help cover up any sharp edges on carbon or metal if stand-off is used. It took two zip ties on this frame.They serve two purposes, They keep wires out of props and also act as a very effective strain relief. ![[Image: M6UTXGSl.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/M6UTXGSl.jpg) Posts: 5,855 Threads: 47 Likes Received: 2,775 in 2,237 posts Likes Given: 7,612 Joined: Jul 2019 Reputation: 97 Are those MR30 connectors on the motor wires? • |
