Cool!!!



are your nuts gold plated? errr I mean the hex spacers on the cube that is....

[Trappy]

brass or gold plated, two choices the ones on this picture are gold plated.

30mm is fine as I use 35mm spacers on my QAV. And maybe a silly question but why are the nuts gold plated?

[Trappy]

gold does not deteriorate when exposed to the elements. it doesn't corrode or fog up on temperature changes. it conducts electricity like a boss too. so there are obvious benefits to gold-coated stuff. the downside being ... it's gold, and it costs money that's why it's an upgrade, the powercube will be priced very competitively so brass is the standard.

[raumagent]

Sorry but I still don't get it, why would you want your nuts to conduct electricity? Why not just use polyamide nuts?

[Trappy]

oh, right the power goes through the standoffs

[raumagent]

Ah ok, now everything makes sense! You didn't mentioned this before. Thanks for clearing this up!

Smart. TBS. People.

btw, through the gold plates we have run 120A for quite a while on 22V without any issues

[raumagent]

When saying "we" - you mean you and Goldfinger?

Fits in the QAV 210 huh? I preordered one. I haven't really been following this thread but will the power cube have all the ESC bells and whistles as far as firmware goes? BLheli with oneshot and Active braking? I can't live without active braking on a mini.

Sorry for my ignorance!
