I forgot I took a picture! I was gonna do a new thread but I don't have a camera, just the really crappy webcam on my laptop lol Here's a pic of all the parts laid out!

Just received the package with my prize and wow! It's amazing! The material used is definitely high quality and the cool blue color is a plus :) These things are made to last. Everything is easy to assemble too! So now, as soon as I can get employed, I'll be able to test it in action :D Thanks...

Thanks! I'll post up some pics here along with my impressions of it when it gets here :)

I agree, cool but expensive. You can get some really cheap super bright LED's to put on your board

Yeah, true! It does bring me a lot closer :) I was looking at that option, I'm willing to wait the extra time. It'll greatly help to cut down on cost! I was loooking at this charger: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7028__Turnigy_Accucel_6_50W_6A_Balancer_Charger_w_accessories.html...

I did win a free kit :) But that now means I have to buy 2 motors, 2 esc's, and does having 2 motors drain the battery faster? It's definitely worth it though! I would greatly prefer dual drive but it's gonna take me a bit longer to build the board than I thought. I just need to find a job! I'm...

Ohh ok. What about lead acid batteries? If ound a 12v 12ah battery for only $25! http://www.ebay.com/itm/SEALED-LEAD-ACID-BATTERY-6V-12V-18Ah-12Ah-10Ah-9Ah-7-2Ah-7Ah-5Ah-4-5Ah-AND-ETC-/111268132777?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item19e818f7a9 Yeah it'd be bulky but if it works then I think...

Would something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10000mAh-Dual-USB-Portable-Solar-Panel-Power-Bank-for-universal-5-5s-S3-S4-S5-6S-/161339020152?pt=Wristwatches&var=&hash=item25908e1378 be able to replace the batteries? Somehow hook it up to the motor and esc? It can charge by solar, computer...

Where do you find one of these?

Ok well, I'll try to see how I can make your suggestion work. Currently it's a bit confusing but I'll see what I can do! Thanks

I'm using this: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__11986__20A_twin_12v_switching_DC_Power_Supply_for_Chargers_.html power supply. It seems cheap but good enough

How would I be charging with 4.5 amps? The charger is a 10A charger. Anything less won't charge the batteries right? They will be drawing 5A each. Are there diagrams of this? I've never worked with batteries or chargers before in my life so I'm a bit confused.

So I'm in the phase of ordering the electronics for my board and I'm totally confused on the charging. I'm using 2 of these batteries: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__10480__turnigy_5000mah_6s_25c_long_lipo_pack.html and getting this charger...

Thank you! I'll be sure to be putting it to good use :)

I bought it off ebay. $37 shipped lol Total cost for everything was like, $117 or something. It's a crappy board but it works fine for me
