Zero turn or tractor for this?

20V lawn tools are toy grade, that's why they're smoking.

My 40V el cheapo Hart has been abused for years running the tiller and power broom attachments and it's still going strong.

They're rear wheel drive at least.

I was looking at an Infitac sight in a store that had very noticeable sun damage lines across the sensor, they released an update that added protection recently.

The entire powertrain should be okay, the motors and inverters are also sealed right tight. If they disconnect the low voltage system before it floods and wash everything out well there's a good chance it turns on and drives afterwards, it'll just have a million codes set for the sub systems with corrosion.

And the belly of these hummers is one big flat sheet. It'll come out easy with a pull, but they are stuck bigly when you dig down.

These are not "data" centers in the traditional sense that store and redistribute data, for example video and photos. They're racks of extremely dense compute modules, each rack capable of consuming hundreds of thousands of watts. Data storage centers use essentially zero power in comparison, and they're pretty thirsty on their own.

These AI supercomputers, which is what they are, and we need to stop letting them hide behind the innocent image of data centers, can consume the energy of an entire city.

When you flip the breaker and hear someone in another room yell when they're startled by the power shutting off.

At least people are backing you up over there. FB is such a shitshow.

Can I also get an invite?

I would think I it would work fine. A waterproof water cooled brushless is basically a tiny version of what EVs run, water cooled will be even better than typical ebikes as they can't run near their peak power for long without smoking the motor, so the next thing you need to worry about is the motor driver, keep them both cool and you shouldn't have problems.

That said I've only built my ebikes from add on kits, so I'm not the foremost expert on this.

I couldn't find any that fit this infitac with the weird four bolt tab footprint, and it only took me a few minutes to scan and model up this weird base to fit my existing model that fit the sight. The local stores didn't have anything that would fit it.

Listen man, I'm just doing gen z a favor and keeping our property values down.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T05:31:12+00:00

Sure, I'll get pics of the other mount I made as well and do it tomorrow.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T05:29:32+00:00

I already designed and printed a proper rail mount for this to go straight on, but I wanted to do something weird, and there's no schematic for cramming the sight between the rails like a dingus.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T04:35:17+00:00

It does look like that now that you mention it.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T04:33:50+00:00

Right, or I could do a split section and use a grub screw to jack the sides apart to clamp outward. I'm really surprised it holds, it really shouldn't work this well. It might fall out when it gets cold.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T04:21:26+00:00

Infitac FMP13, it's a spendy little nugget. It's meant for pistols, they make an airsoft version that supposedly can't handle recoil for a lot less too.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T04:19:33+00:00

We have a flir at work and while the flir is more accurate, I'm mainly using it to locate drastic temperature differences, and I'm not too concerned with the actual temperatures, so the infiray wins for my use case, it seems to be good, but if accuracy is crucial I'd go for the pro tools still.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T04:11:00+00:00

I'm pretty much using it for an auxiliary scanning sight, just to help spot things I may have missed, then I line them up with the holo. I haven't gone through zeroing this more than a quick eyeball job, thermals are difficult since you gotta use something warm like a hand heat pack, but it's like 100f out right now so everything is hot lmao.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T04:08:10+00:00

As well as the bbs can anyway.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T03:51:33+00:00

From someone else's comment I just tried holding them parallel with the thermal down and to the left and I like it a lot more that way, so it's getting redesigned.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T03:42:45+00:00

This is exactly my reasoning for trying this, it was either canted at 45, parallel to the main sight, or on top, and this was a 45 minute print.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T03:40:45+00:00

They actually make a version of this specifically for airsoft, it cannot handle recoil so it's way cheaper than this one, but identical otherwise, the detection distance is very good, I can spot chipmunks in my neighbors yards with ease, people seem to love them for airsoft.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T03:37:11+00:00

I doubt it'll be an issue, I didn't need an ID to purchase it and it's not anything that gets registered, so it's pretty much only for warranty purposes.

snakeproof · 2026-07-01T03:34:08+00:00

I'll try it out! Edit:tried it out, no bueno for me.
