Appologies on the delays.... Had alot to sort out recently but i have another order of parts in-bound. :*Grins*

I have been debating Li-po since it was first mentioned but in the end i have decided to go Ni-Mh for now. The li-po battery i would feel comfortable with using on this setup is solid casing and costs about 200$ USD. Too much for now. The Ni-Mh i ordered is a 12v, 48$, Under 1/4 the price. However, i knew I would need a new charger also as my current one does up to 8 cell only.

These are the new goodies i have incoming. I was going to order the charger from ehobby for 90$ then i saw a review on WGC and they had it for 72$ including a Li-po balancer so i figured get this one them i'm already set up for Li-po in the future!

Parts -

TLP Charger X15 Set - http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper...15SET_srch_TLP

12V Battery Were no stock setup ones so i have to modify. - http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/default/i...arge-type.html

Guarder SP100 Spring - http://cgi.ebay.com/Guarder-SP100-Ai...713.m153.l1262

14AWG Silicon Power Cables in black and red - 2m of each. - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWN:IT&ih=012

16AWg Silicon Power cables again in black and red and 2m of each. - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWN:IT&ih=012

10x Deans Power Connectors including heat shrink. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=004

Sinse testing the gun and the connections i really dont feel comfy with 18awg wire. It gets very hot under sustained fire. So i am in the progress of working 16AWG in to the Pro-Win gearbox. I want this setup to be abe to go over to higher AMP Li-po eventually or at least be capable of it without a complete re-wiring of the gun. Theres going to be enough wiring as it is.

Also i blew a mini 20amp fuse other day so i'm looking in to other Fuse opions.

Anyone have any thoughts here? I'm thinking maybe going Blade Fuse's for easy changes and could be side mounted on the gun.

This is the sort of thing i have looked at so far, but i would rather a chasis mounting option so it can be mounted on the gun side for quick changes.

Anyways thats the update so far, as always ideas, suggestions adn comments welcome!

Take it easy all!
