The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

I've got a hammock in the shade. It's 75° where I'm at in Nicaragua right now.

Rub it in. It is supposed to be in the negative all day today. Our stupid Vikings play Seattle today outdoors. "I don't normally watch football, but when I do, I hope they freeze their nuts off"

What's a farm boy doing in Nicaragua?

My folks are here on a 3 month mission trip during the slow winter months, and I came down to spend a month or two with them.

I've done some looking and it looks like they have a nice paved strip and decent Rc club here but it's 3 1/2 hours away.

Got started on my charge case upgrade today. Didn't make as much progress as I hoped. Took a little longer to install the new power supply than I had planned. But that's okay because I'm still thinking on how I want to arrange the chargers, balance boards and parallel boards.

Here's my old setup before I got started.

First thing I had to do was remove the divider in the bottom of the case. It was separating the old power supply from the storage area.
Then I laid out the area for the new 24V power supply and cut a couple holes for the power plugs.

Then I drilled a bunch of holes for ventilation. And applied some Velcro Industrial Extreme to hold the power supply in place.

Decided to remove the outer case from the power supply to further help with cooling.

Here's the new iCharger 306B and the modular parallel boards from Progressive RC. These modular boards are straight up bad ass!

Now I just have to figure out how I want to arrange both chargers and all the boards. Stay tuned!

Nice. Sounds like a sweet winter break!
