The Naked Bot

Cable organizing. Getting as bad as a mountain bike. I see why trim cables break, they need to slide axially and swing and not so much as pivot. I used o-rings for this. I also used o-rings on corrugated split loom, excellent for place keeping. The only drawback , you got to plan it all before you fish wires and cables down pole.

Here's my futile attempt at water ingestion. Outerwear Prefilters over grates. Instead prefilters on the carbs, figured why not on the hull, keep the water out in the first place. I used dished washers to "pressure" mold concave retainers. Rod couplers inside of plenum retain everything.

When I was looking for lipo batt I wound up having about an hour phone conversation with Jason @ Full Spectrum Power about possibly buying one of his batteries. When I told him salt water and more than likely (though I hope not) submergence he asked me to please not buy his battery. "Find the cheapest one, when it goes, buy another." However he did condone using his charger to get the most out of it. This is a set it and forget it charger. I picked up 3 Autocraft LP-4's, ordered online, used discount code, picked up @ store for $38 a piece. $50 with shipping for charger. You got to ask him for gator clips (no charge) or it will come with rings.
