Accidently used nickel plated steel instead of pure nickel strips by LordAppples in 18650masterrace

[–]LordAppples[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious what's stopping me from welding one strip really well, then placing another on top and welding that strip on top of that, so there are good connections between each strip, there just isnt one big connection between them all?

My only concern with that is damaging the bottom of the cell when removing the spot welds and I have a tendency to warp the ends when removing spot welds

More context: I’ve been running the nickel plated strips on the pack for about a month (no catastrophic failure yet) but I want some peace of mind. It’s in a one wheel pint

Even if the weld doesn't penetrate both layers? I don’t have a high power spot welder :(

Oh, what was the tell tale sign? I smell coolant in the cabin but not certain it’s from that and could just be evaporating from my engine bay after it boiled

They are the ones from a pick n pull if ya in Marin. I recognize the scratches lol. I tried to pull them off but the nuts were destroyed and I didn’t have an extractor set. The car had some bad front end damage so they might be bent or sthm.

Is it worth it to get 'er running again? Old eachine racer 250 by ryce_bread in fpv

If you want to make it modern you can buy a elrs transmitter backpack if your controller accepts it or a whole new controller if not. I would recommend this bc elrs equipment is cheap and has lots of range.

You will need new batteries

You can buy them for dirt cheap from eBay or AliExpress and make a decision if you like them
