So I was away for all of last week with work, I was driving as opposed to flying and honestly I almost took it with me to work on it in the the hotel but in the end I decided not to

Soldering looks great about as far from half-assed as you can get... I removed the red cable from the ESC to RX plug so that the BEC is what is providing power rather than the ESC. I need to put a tiny dab of solder back onto that plug just to keep everything connected and ensure nothing shorts then I can wire up my old battery pack and should be good to go for a test run.

I am debating something unsure if I want to proceed yet, think it would look cool but would cost me like an extra 10$ so not sure if I shouldn't just stay focused rather than doing other stuff.

As far as funds well I do have two XMODs that are new that I need to list somewhere, they would help pay for the battery pack and charger but its not desperate. Also want to mod my TX to run off a lipo pack too.
