Day 2418

 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.
