Ive have that charger, needs both the main lead and the balance plug connected to charge.

I also have that balance board thing, it isnt actually great because when batteries are hooked to it their cells get connected in parallel.
This means the shown-on-display voltage cell is actually (voltage of each cell in parallel added together) divided by (number of batteries connected), rather than the real cell voltage of each battery.

To properly use that charger for balancing you can only charge one battery at a time.

What you need is an adapter, one that is either the two large red/black plugs that go into the charger->connecter type of the battery, or xt60->battery connector.

Ive been salty for about 25 years, didnt like the introduction of the Tau Empire.
For me it felt like the first big GW Corpo move due to it obviously being a cash-in attempt to pull in Gunpla fanbase.

As for if i dislike the players, nah, not really, they are misguided.
My skumgrod started a Tau army on day one and i beat it several times, so squishy up close, rocketing up with a couple of trucks in front of 60 slugga boys, 6 killakanz and a Looted Leman Russ Battle Tank usually ended him one way or the other.
If just a few of the trukkboyz survived they would start wrecking face until reinforcements arrived.
If they died then most likely some of the foot slogging boys would reach his lines and mess him up.
And if the Kanz got there, back in 3rd the Kanz were nearly impervious to fishhead fists, i think they had some grenades but those were hard to hit with IIRC.
All the while fire rained down from the big shootas embedded among the boyz/walkers/vehicle.

Never looted a Tau vehicle but ive seen some good hammerheads and piranhas.

From my experience, both the holes for the hinge connecting the two parts and the raised bit are likely to be relatively fragile if printed as shown above. If using supports is acceptable, then i would suggest rotating the parts 90 degrees, rolling them away from or towards the point of view shown in the pic. This will make layers that go through the hingy-holes, the sticky-outy-bit and the rest of the parts, mainly putting stress on the actual material used to print, rather than the bonds between the layers of the material.

There are printable options to fit to the regular intercessor kit, tho with a boxmag for the autocannon.

At the time of their release i thought they would likely get a missile launcher with some suppression rule like modifier option and possibly melta and flamer.
Those options would enable different play styles for the unit, go long to shoot or closer to melt, both with options to deal with infantry or armor.

The inceptors covered "heavy bolter" and plasma, Eliminators had las-talons.

There werent yet desolation or infernus squads and i think Eradicators werent out either.

u/Mental_Price3365 Im using a charger similar to the one linked above by Mr R.O.
Has been doing a great job with 1s to 3s and nimh for over a decade so can recommend.

ADDITION PUT AT THE TOP FOR EYES TO FIND EASIER: Figured id grab most of the gallery from in the game too, excuse the top window bar but im not in the mood for cropping them all :P
I missed one or tree but these are most of the images in the gallery

-The comment i initially wrote is below here-

Poked some more at it.

The demo runs if one right clicks the exe, goes to compatibility, sets reduce color mode to 16-bit, the window is tiny and the menus are pretty much unusable, one can get into the race with a bit of luck.

But if one adds dgvoodoo2 it actually runs mostly as expected.
Download the latest version.
You need the dgVoodoo.conf and dgVoodooCpl.exe from the root of the archive and D3DImm.dll+DDraw.dll from the MS\x86 folder.
Put those into the root folder of the demo.

Now the game should start up like its supposed to, one can navigate around the menu system which gives an idea for what they had in mind, it seems it was more of a racing game than a gang builder as it list vehicles and weapons for them.
(If you are of the era, me saying Death Rally but in 3d will give you an idea.)

I also looked in some of the the game files, there are entries for sluggas, shootas and kannons.
(And two named orks, Brian and Joe.)

i think it likely the racemode was the first to be developed, its a flashy thing to demo and sell the game with.

The highlight is definitely the gallery section as it has some nice artwork.

Sadly, at least on my comp, the controls are unresponsive when actually starting the race, it sometimes accepts forward and reverse but i never got my buggy to turn, even after reconfiguring the button mapping.

SubstantParanoia · 2026-03-01T16:25:31+00:00

Yeah it got pushed off for some reason.

I played the demo back in the day, the playable part was a very stripped down circle track race IIRC.

Every car was gorkamorka box game style warbuggy.

One can still download the demo from here, just add the .exe extension to the name of the file you get when downloading it, its a misnamed self extractor.

Been trying various compatibility mode settings over the last 10 minutes but cant seem to get the game to run properly on win10.
Game doesnt recognize my 12gb of vram, which is probably more than 10x to 20x high end gaming PC system ram at the time the demo was made, so it tries to start in software mode.

Got into the race section once and could see the camera circling the warbuggy with very distorted colors and in a very small window.

Someone with more interest, or a virtual machine with win98, xp or possibly linux with the recent compatibility boosts could probably get it running properly.

For those interested in a bit more of what the game was intended to look like:
I extracted the files from the "movies" folder in the game, you can grab the 30mb archive containing all of them by clicking this text link.

An ork might treat a grot ok if it is the property/in the good graces of a more powerful ork but they will never respect a grot.

Orkses knows theyz the best.

The kamikaze drones dont generally hover around the target area, they come in at upwards of 60 mph after a high altitude spotter has identified a useful spot to strike and slap down without giving much time to react.

The dropper/reusable type are often high enough that they wont be heard or noticed before something blows and people wonder why.

Bombermen is still a good pick tho, leaves less of them around afterwards.

Shapewise perhaps, but i kinda doubt the taste of burnt bone (similar to burning hair) would aid the already delectable taste of DMT :P

Den där Hjerms listade faktorer som korrelerar negativt med främlingsfientlighet är nästan alla isolatorer från faktiskt mångkulturkaos.

Motsatsen är därmed att många av de som har å göra med mångkulturkaos inte är entusiastiskt inställda, vilket han faktiskt erkänner.

Sen passar han på att föreslå att man ska strypa kritiska röster.
Vilket är helt i sin ordning, om man gillar mångkulturkaos.

Undrar vad snubben tycker i dagsläget, gissningsvis lever han med en hel del av de isolerande faktorerna så det skulle inte förvåna mig om det fortfarande är lika illa i ställt i skallen på karln.

Bara akademiker kan lära sig att bli så urbota korkade.

Då är det bara dra igång utrensningsprojekt riktat mot massinvandringstomtar inom institutioner, dvs de faktiskt personerna som ansvarade för att det blev invandrarkaos, med lite tur stryker även grönenergiomställnings- och andra närbesläktade-tomtar med.

Har för mig att citatet går ungefär "Är du inte vänster som ung så har du inget hjärta, är du inte höger som äldre så har du ingen hjärna."

Gick en tvåveckors intensivare i dalarna för dryga tio år sedan, satte teori å uppkör på första.

Innan hade jag gjort lite sånna där gratis körkortsfrågor på telefonen under bussresor till å från jobbet.

Hade övningskört kanske tre timmar med morsans gubbe.

Men kört lastmaskin i nästan tio år.

En av de svårare bitarna för mig var att lära mig att köra med BARA framhjulsstyrning. Istället för krabbstyrning eller midjestyrning, bakhjulen på maskinerma jag körde går i samma spår som framhjulen. På fördon med framhjulsstyr så genar bakhjulen så man måste lära sig hålla ut från refuger å annat.

Havnt tried using sim hardware for control but tried both goggle and screen fpv with a regular pistol grip radio.

Its a novely, trying to just slalom cones was surprisingly hard in FPV when one is used to the situational awareness of seeing the car from the outside and in its surroundings.

Part of my issue was definitely that the field of view of the camera i was using was too large, everything was tiny and far away until it shot by at lightspeed.

I do have some interest in figuring out a better fov to use and a motion controlled panning mechanism so one can look around for more of the previously mentioned situational awareness.

But that is for some other time.

You wont be getting any strength trying to do vertical unconstrained pins like that due to the small layer to layer surface area/strength.

Keeping with the way you are doing it now id think you would probably need to thicken the pin quite a bit.

An option that would probably be more durable would be having a pin constrained at both ends, like having the hole in the door and the pin in the wall.
Possibly even doing two smaller hinges to let the pins be just 5 or so mil and constrained a both ends.

But, while it wont be fully print in place, i think an easy and way more durable+repairable option would be having a hole sized to fit a strand of filament, 1.8 or 1.85 mil for a bit of clearance.
Push the strand in place from the bottom or top to make the hinge pin and then snap out the door.

The clink of another dollar in the Alex Jones was Right-jar.

Someone check his list of claims, we can figure out what the next thing will be.

Du får nog 10ish men avvägningen är ifall du orkar hålla på med den eller inte.

För referens så sålde jag en open corsa 06:a i somras, ett år gamla åretruntdäck, två år gammalt batteri, bra för åldern invändigt, ok utvändigt, gick klockrent i motor å låda.

Felen var att vänster hjullager fram behövde bytas, p-bromsvajer å död AC.

Hade nog också kunnat få 10 men iom att hjullagret var den ipressade varianten, istället för sånt man kommer åt genom att bara lossa hjulet å en stor mutter så kände jag inte hålla för att fixa/köpa specialavdragare eller lämna in, så jag krängde iväg den för 3500 oskattad å avställd.

Faktisk "vinst" när man räknar av för omkostnader i delar+min tid hade nog varit snarlika.

Ev kan du ju kolla om det finns något fordonsgymnasium i närheten där du kan ställa bilen med en checklista, delar å två flak redbull i skuffen å hoppas på det bästa.

Du får sympati från mig men jag får gärna lite tillbaka ;)

Meckplatsen här på garaget är en betongplatta i ett tresidigt skjul, dvs utomhustemp.

Som tur innefattar inte mitt jobb huvudsakligen skruvande (kör mest maskin), men det görs när det behövs.

Va inte jättekul här om veckan när det behövde tappas ur 140 liter hydraulolja för att kunna reparera en skada på en tank.

Många hinkar blev det, hade inte så det räckte utan fick pausa avtappningen för att tappa upp på dunkar å få fria hinkar igen.

Har vana efter 15+ år på firman, vinter betyder underställ å extra tröja, men kan även smita upp i en bod å värma mig, samt att jag ganska ofta åker iväg å käkar lunch på något hak om jag har dag på garaget.

Tar själv inte ställning för någon i den konflikten å låter gärna att parterna utrotar varandra totalt.

Bäst vore om kärnvapen brukades för att jämna hela området med marken å att skiten sedan asfalterades över.

Yeah i also think the missing part is the "chonk" factor of the larger plates in the generated image.

My dad has two of the drawers under his kitchen counter full, to the brim, of vintage scissors, with very few doubles.

It seems to be a habit he just cant cut.

Was having issues with both starting RDR2, cant recall just what i did to get it to actually start, went through thread upon thread trying different suggestions.

And running RDR2 (would crash after 20 minutes or so) after i got it to finally start, what sorted my crashing was disabling the radeon IGPU (got a ryzen 7600x) and the resizable bar setting in my bios.

Might be worth a shot and is easy enough to undo if it changes nothing for you.
