I'll have to do some research on this. Thanks for the suggestion!

I insulated my hex driver with heat shrink and used an small wrench to hold the nut on the other side. The tabs are just flexible enough to go around them, but it is a very tedious process.

I believe these battery packs are the E63 versions. Here is a data sheet on them: xebike.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/lg-e63datasheet.pdf

@LifeAroundDamian thx. I meant your pack that you built

@MrDeceptacon88 My battery is made up of 24 cells. 96V 60Ah battery.

@piingaz5232 Yes I can. I just have some spare batteries to use and was not ready to invest in a dc-dc converter just yet. I'll consider buying one later on!

The 1985 VF750C looks to have a ton of space and would be a great cruiser after converting it to electric! Talking with the QS Motor company, I was told that I should get 62-74mi/charge at 40mph and 46-52mi/charge at 49mph. So this heavily depends on the speed I'm going, but I will definitely make a video on the data after some rides!

This airframe was mostly printed from Nylon so about $45. PETG can perform just as well and for just under $40. That does not include shipping.

@@Epsonblade I'm pretty far ahead of the build, just behind on putting the videos together haha

This set up that I'm running is a little over 1k.

Thanks!

As in staying in a hover without touching the radio?

@@LifeAroundDamian yeap

I can see that being the problem. Worst case scenario, the person charging would have to clean them, but unfortunately, not everyone is aware of this.

@@LifeAroundDamian Various videos show people not getting enough power from the supercharger. They move over a couple locations and then they get full power for some reason. The contact resistance varies on each of the charging posts due to wear. Visual inspection shows it.

@newworldodor2641 Yikes. Also, it doesn't help that other car companies are also using these chargers too.

Ya I would be curious about that myself!

@kylebreslow9120 What an amazing story! I'm glad I was able to help you out! Safe travels!

Thanks!

bmsbattery.com/home/1005-lipo-36v-60ah-lg-battery-cell.html Here is a similar set I have with specs.

This helped me fix my latching issue. I have not had a problem where my car stops charging. What are the errors that come up?

Thanks!

These do fit the stock frame. I was just printing in resin for the first time and picked to dense of a material. If you FDM print the parts, the helicopter is not as heavy.

They are the LG Chem 120Ah 3.7v. I just changed all my cells to series, making it a 60Ah pack.

@@LifeAroundDamian Thanks for your reply. If you stack 14 cells on the top of each other, how tall are they? I want to install them on my bike

Thanks Gary!

That’s so sick!

Thanks!

Hello, I bought these battery cells already disassembled. If you are talking about separating the cells from two to one, I slowly peeled them away from each other. Eventually, they do separate, but you can use a hair dryer to warm them up to make it easier.

@@LifeAroundDamian muito obrigado

That is an idea I was considering at one point for the tail boom. I'm curious how heavy a metal airframe would weight 🤔 very interesting.

Thanks!

Thanks! I definitely agree that the weight was a bit much for a helicopter of this size, which is why it was just an experiment. For someone who just wants to print their own blades and fly around, it will work. This was the first time I was able to use resin printed parts, so maybe with different types of resin might give out different densities. As far as price goes it really depends on the resin your printing with, I just went with the strongest resin PCBWay had to offer. Creating molds and building custom blades is a tough project to get into.

Haha it wont be perfect!

@@LifeAroundDamian 😀

It's so real though, you can guess the way it functions just by the sound the rotor blades make.

That would be an interesting experiment! I might be convinced to buying my own resin printer. These blades turned out great.

@@LifeAroundDamian Please be careful with the toxicity of those prints. It could be overall interesting to go a bit in the direction of "fan showdown" or the boat version from RC test flight. Like trying to find the most efficient blades but also checking max RPM or lift generated

I know exactly what your talking about. That is one of the reasons I have been back and forth with owning one.

@@brainfarth Thanks!

Thanks

Sure send me a message through my FB page! facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093882203727&mibextid=ZbWKwL

Good guess! They are resin printed blades!

Thanks! The airframe doubled in weight, so around 80 grams. That might be due to the material I chose. Since the parts are so small between the head and swashplate on this helicopter, FDM printing won't cut it. I will need to get my hands on a resin printer to complete the rest of the parts 😕

The files are available on Thingiverse and Printables. Here is a build video: ruclips.net/video/dn9qZV1A540/видео.html

For sure!

Haven't tested that out yet. Do you have a set of these LG Chem battery packs as well?

@@LifeAroundDamian yes I’m currently building a 72v battery pack using lgx e61 cells but just stuck on ways to connect them together

They are definitely a challenge to assemble properly. If you send me a message on my FB page I can help you our further.
