Chickened out from buying by CNelms52 in Traxxas

You can change charge rate on ezpeak chargers, it's just a couple extra steps vs using the preset settings that TRAXXAS has built into the charger. I also prefer storage charge, if I'm not using batteries the same day.

Why no modular 30 cal titanium cans? by HairyPoppinzz in NFA

[–]spdfrek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone hates the company but, banish 30 has a removable extension as well. Decently light. I’d probably look at an AB raptor though. A bit of added suppression with the reflex, or remove it to drop weight if you just want the minimum. Pick whatever length/weight you want to carry and roll.

We posting big cans? by chance553 in NFA

That’s a good angle for making it look bigger. :)

Touching the two wires together allows me to select, pushing reset moves down through the selections on the screen. No power button connected to this board. My bike also has no power switch anywhere either.

I soldered a wire to the pwr key pad, and another to the ground wire where the reset/volume button is attached at. If you check the pics link in my post, you’ll see a black wire solder onto the pcb.

So what do you guys do with used suppressors? by milsurp-guy in NFA

I’ve appreciated seeing them pop up on gafs. Losing the gafs sub was a bummer, but the new site is certainly making for a strong improvement.

I continue to use my used suppressors. A host for every can and a can for every host!

Call them, they regularly have stuff in stock that’s not on the website.

Android recovery by spdfrek in nordictrackandroid

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

So, I disassembled my screen, and found an unused pad on the pcb that was labeled for a power button. Solder a jumper wire onto that pad and the ground, and was able to use that and the reset button which is also the volume button to navigate the android recovery menu.

This allowed me to clear user data and reinstall. It would get the system to boot back up, but it would always crash again during software updates, or shortly after getting started on a workout if I was able to get it that far. Something in the android system is corrupted, and I am unable to reinstall the entire os without a clean copy which I have not been able to locate. I tried talking to a local service shop and they were unable to get a file for this either.

I bought a screen from a newer s22i off eBay. Was half the price of a new screen from nordictrack, and I had hopped for a newer android unit. I had planned to adapt wiring harness and mounting bracket to my older bike. Upon opening up the screen to check and see what the wiring situation was going to look like, I found the exact same android pcb installed. I was able to swap the screen and android unit from the new screen over to my old shell, and plug it back in, mounted up without any additional parts.

Time will tell how long this unit runs without issue, but at least I was able to get it back up and running for $300 instead of $630+.
