I woke up at 8 and played games until after 9. Then it was up for breakfast - Ellen had already fed the cats. After a little surfing I went out to the shed.
I started by replacing the connectors on the B6.4 battery cables. That allows me to charge them using the XT60 charger cable. I was going to solder on the connectors to the ESC, but I didn't have big enough heat shrink to cover them. I decided to work on the body instead.
I put the LEDs in their holders except for the large ones. I need larger heat shrink for that. Then I got out the door edging an put it all around the edges of the body. I wanted to do a little more, so I got out the heat sink. I played with it for a while and came up with a way to tighten the fit. I'll need a couple of hose clamps.
It was getting pretty hot in the shed, so I went back to the trailer for lunch. We had lots of leftovers, but I wanted a sandwich. When lunch was done we drove to Harbor Freight to get heat shrink. We also stopped at Roth's for milk.
When we got home I unloaded all of the stuff that I'd left in the car last night. Then I drained the tanks. The rest of the afternoon was looking at videos about the heat sink. I ended up ordering a thermal pad which should increase the heat transfer.
Dinner was leftovers. Ellen fixed strawberry milkshakes for dessert. After that she watched TV and I watched videos for the rest of the evening.
