Standard HB/DF power connector no good?
Hi all
Anyone of u experience the standard power connector (Or battery Connector) getting too hot? For mine the connector for NiMH, Li-Poly and (before ESC Mixer and now ICS) all turns warm to hot after first battery. I have one Li-Poly connector practically melted and mold onto the other connector. I feel that the connector contact will get loose very easily after some time.
I recently replace all my battery connector to Computer Power Supply Connector. So far only batteries that is running warm to hot but not the connector.
Anyone of u tried this? If anyone of u interested.. I can take a picture to show u how I connect.

Yup. That is correct.
The one for HDD or CDROM power. Actually I wanted to use the Floppy Drive power connector but Can't find the "Female" type.
Weight wise... Not that heavy. I think it is like having 2 or 3 standard connector weight. At least I got a better contact than before.[8D]

BTW...
Before
Stock ESC Mixer, Fan Tail, 10T Pinion
9-10 Minutes of flight time for 1 Battery (2Cell 1500mAH Li-Poly)
Now
Seperate Component, DDrive, 10T Pinion, Computer Power Connector
10 Minutes of flight time for 1 Battery (2Cell 1500mAH Li-Poly)
So what do u think?

Hi
Actually... Most of the time I fly without canopy.
I too prefer direct shaft method. With Direct Shaft.. at least u no need to worry about tail too heavy thing. I got a few ideas on my mine all the while about converting my DFly to Direct Shaft. Maybe one day u will see or hear me implement it.
As for 3D Hornet.... I not sure. I let those who know the answer can answer for u.
