A couple questions on new razor

[greger]

My first electric so please take it easy on me....

Hacker 50-14
Jazz 55-10-32
evo 4350 packs


1) Just hovering around and getting things dialed in but motor is HOT.. just hovering with about 60 degrees outside motor was at 177 jazz at 113 and batts 85 . Too hot especially for just hovering isn't it?

2) Is there a way I can charge both packs at once with TP-1010c and 210V?

TIA

That is how hot the Hackers run, more so that I care for as well, but that is how hot they run. As per lipos yes you can charge them in series just make sure your cell count is par on as well that you balance of course. :wink:

Thanks for the reply ... but please help out with charging instructions, the more posts I read on charging the more confused I get...

Do I use one charger connect to batteries in series with one balancer on each pack or do I somehow connect both batteries to same balancer?

TIA

Since you are using the TP Charger/Balancer combo, you cannot go wrong with the Finless Videos above... they are excellent.

In short, yes you can charge both 5S packs, in series, at the same time. You need to watch the order in which you plug the packs in, but it is really very easy.

I hope you have a decent 12V Powersupply (either Deep Cycle Battery or 120/240v unit) as 2 x 5S either 3700 or 3850 Packs being charged as a single 10S pack, at 1C equals about a 13-15 amp draw from your 12v Powersupply/source.

I watched all the videos and they were helpful but I didn't see anything about charging 2 packs in series at once. For my packs (2) 5s1p I would plug both packs plug into one side of the 210 (the side labeled bank2)? I understand all the wiring except how the batteries connect to the 210, thanks.

Have a look in here... page 3... see if that explains it.

Thanks... got it working now. Sounds like it is mandatory to keep your battery pairs together.

I can't believe how much power this thing has :).... I am just getting it dialed in but having issues with tail holding.
