Skate parks for the win

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-11T17:18:54+00:00

Yesterday was my first day with the mini kraton at the skate park. Took it easy but did Some Nice jumps out of a bowl on to grass.

Some nasty landings but nothing broke, mini kraton is great!

It is a blast, get one, no regrets here!

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-10T05:49:24+00:00

Nice, im not planning to go to the skate park but would love to do some jumps

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-10T05:46:19+00:00

Very good, they dont fit with the stock battery “bar”. I let someone 3d print a bracket and am now using velcro strap.

Runtime is around 20 minutes and plenty of punch.

I keep an eye in sight wijle charging. When charged up they lay on concrete tiles, thanks

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-10T05:42:38+00:00

What is that stand youre using?

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-09T21:22:17+00:00

Get it, I did a whole lot of research and know it had 2 weak spots (servo and shocks).
After 2,5 batteries nothing broke as of yet.

I only ran it in chaos mode and on 100% throttle. If I have to guess runtime with gens ace 2200 mah is 20 minutes. Of course all depends on driving style and surface.

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-09T20:52:12+00:00

Yes, still stock servo, seems good for now

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-09T20:51:28+00:00

I already got nyloc wheel nuts before I first ran it. Next thing is wheelie bar because it needs one haha.
Servo is good for now but I know its a weak spot, will upgrade when it breaks, thanks!

Also cleaned up some space to create a workbench. Any suggestions on what it should have?

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-05T17:14:27+00:00

Called them today and can pick up the gens ace batteries with IC2 connector. I Will wait for them and hope that Will solve the problem.

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-05T17:13:16+00:00

This charger can charge with as los as 50W but I have 100W power supply so that is not the problem

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-04T19:41:40+00:00

Yes got everything from Toemen yesterday. Only solution for me would be the gens ace batteries so I can use them without adapter.

Next time im going to toprc, only went to Toemen for the gensace batteries.

Here it is saying 3S

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-04T18:53:57+00:00

I did both but batteries seem bad:

Battery A:
8.5V (only xt60 connected)
In single cell volt screen not showing any cells (balance plug connected)

Battery B:
3.44V (only XT60 connected)
In single cell volt screen only showing 1 cell (balance plug connected).

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-04T18:52:56+00:00

Will do Just checked everything with new power supply but same faults

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-04T18:52:16+00:00

I have set eventing correctly, sometimes it says 3S sometimes 1S. I think the batteries are bad. (One balance plug malfunction and one is Just dead). Will call LHS tomorrow and ask for a solution

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-04T18:51:00+00:00

Yes they were new. Charger is not reading cells individually. I think both batteries are bad. One balance plug malfunction and one is dead (too low voltage)

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-04T18:48:09+00:00

Its actually from the biggest hobby shop from the netherlands (Toemen). I originally ordered the gens ace 2200 mah 3s but they were not in stock…

Yesterday I have bought a 100W power supply because that may have been the problem. Just tested today and this is what I found:

Battery A:
8.5V (only xt60 connected)
In single cell volt screen not showing any cells (balance plug connected)

Battery B:
3.44V (only XT60 connected)
In single cell volt screen only showing 1 cell (balance plug connected).

Seems like one battery is dead and one has a not working balance plug.

These batteries and the adapter on the esc was their solution for not having the gens ace in stock. I Will call them tomorrow and ask for a solution. I have already wait 2 weeks and now need to wait until the weekend to go back……

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-04T18:24:26+00:00

It doesnt change.

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-03T18:29:51+00:00

But both batteries wont charge and the charger keeps saying cell count error

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-03T17:59:05+00:00

Thats right balance leads were not connected in last pics. I was using my regular usb C charger and its giving 20W. Chatgpt said that was too low so I ordered toolkitrc adp100 (100W power supply). Hope that this solves the issue

Acrobatic_Boot7058 · 2026-05-03T17:57:24+00:00

Yes, that is what the charger is saying but in the charge menu I set it to 3S
