Thanks Fruity, its mainly to be used on heavy duty battery cable connectors, and nowhere hear any PCBs.

I think it should be perfect for that then. Don't forget to do a risk assessment first.

Fruity has got it just about spot on Spitty, I only use a torch for plumbing jobs. Sometimes the flame contaminates the surface so it needs a good fluxing....

Re: Foxy's Latest Project.

I have more room with the Bomber Bike Foxy so, fingers crossed the cables can remain stock, and the torch reserved for browning desserts.

Factory connections are usually best in my experience. I much prefer to buy cables already plugged up if I can.
The torch will come in handy for something Spitty...

Re: Foxy's Latest Project.

The 19" diameter 8000W rear wheel, front wheel, controller, throttle, display etc etc comes as a kit so will all be compatible, just like last time, it was the power leads from the battery to the motor that could be the problem, just have to wait and see.

I've got a model helicopter and it's a bitch to fly, I got it before drones came out which are easy peasy to keep in the air. With new battery and motor technology, it's a whole new exciting world and I think that clip of the drone is quite possibly for real.

Balancing a board on a ball should be all the training I'll need to defy gravity and get airbourne Minx, although I might have to lose a few pounds like JB suggests.....
I hadn't read this bit Foxy, and its uncanny, I was considering peripherals for the bomber bike, obviously the lighter weight stuff the higher the price so, thought, may as well shed another couple of kilos myself, much cheaper.

Only if you can spare it Spitty....
With all the walking you do I wouldn't have thought you had that much surplus.....

I am near the limit Foxy, back to 1969 levels so in no danger.

Re: Foxy's Latest Project.

Thinking about it, more 75ish, nothing like the peak in the 90s though.
