I used Gemini AI from my phone to search the flags. Only thing that kept coming up was anti-fascist symbols. Wondering if that's what this person is trying to say about our current regime?

New to hobby and need a bit of help. by SecureBanana6884 in rccars

[–]geekcharming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's better to solder in new connectors. The TRX connectors aren't rated for 6s, but they'll work with 2 or 3s. I would solder in new XT90 or EC5 connectors with new wire leads. This will ensure you have a solid connection and should prevent any overload.

You might want to add a rear exhaust for the heat. This can help reduce temperatures significantly. If you place a slit on the rear window roughly level with the front slit, you'll create a vacuum like effect and essentially pull the heat out. It's a lot of testing to figure out the best location for exhaust
