I know there is a concept called "balancing" as the packs wont necessarily charge/discharge evenly. But if I understand it correctly that is only an issue when you hook these guys up in series, and is not necessary when hooking them up in parallel as you would be doing.

Thank you sir. That's the way I will go. I am still waiting on a few parts, but when I start the build I'll open a thread so yous guys can see the progress. I'm sure I will be needing help along the way as well.

How many modders does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
100. One to actually do it and 99 to tell him how he could have done it better. :laugh:

That joke wasn't meant to be derogatory in any way. That's the awesome part about the modding forum!!! Thanks again

OK, I sat on this page long enough that they offered to sell it for $17 Turnigy nano-tech 5000mah 1S2P 50~100C Hardcase Lipo Pack (ROAR APPROVED).

If you have an account with hobby king, the "discounted" price is the normal price once you log in.

Yes, if you could make the stop end cut twice what is now, which isnt very much at all, and dont add much at all.

The only other item in the "would be nice" category would be if the lip above the dado could be thinner, maybe by half. Certainly not necessary, but it would be nice as it would stick into the mod a little less deep.

What about no top lip? Just a three sided recess.

Hmmm, you know that might work well too. Might also be easier for for someone to install as they could glue the bezel in place first then slide the DNA in. Right now I glue the DNA into the bezel first then slip it into the Mod window.

I like it, I think......

Without the top ledge you could glue the screen in before or after....so it would be very similar to the original Mamu design with the addition of a stop.

So something like this........

I like it, work up a drawing and PM me with the link. I will order a test batch.

It's basically the same as what you got....Minus the top ledge....and a larger edge on the stop side.

I think I would feel comfortable enough leaving this open. Ill just post a link here.

There were some subtle dimension changes so I will post a drawing as well.

Bap, it is only allowing white nylon material. Is that something you have control over?

Opps....Sorry!!!

They have changed their process a little bit and I must have missed that....should be fixed now.

I would like it to be a little deeper like 3mm, most plastic boxes the side walls are a little more than 2mm. That is what cracked mine when I decided to pretty it putting in the frame. 2mm is ok for most aluminum boxes but some are thicker.

BJ43 · Jan 9, 2014

Bap, is it possible to parallel two kicks? Like we could with two DNA 12s...
