Onboard BMW 116 Trophy Oulton Park WET Race start 2020
Race start and first laps onboard of the last race of the 2020 season 750mc BMW 116 trophy. It was VERY wet and slippy, especially during qualifying and the first 20min of the race.
We qualified quite badly (24th/27cars) and race was not an improvement. The first few laps are ok, but then I have an off, the red got in me and started driving poorly. We finished the race 21st so not a great result.
And yes! he hit me twice! Cutting me off completely.
Next year more and better! :)

FMS Easy Trainer RTF Tx issues
มุมมอง 3213 ปีที่แล้ว
Here is the problem we found when building the FMS Easy Trainer ready to fly (RTF) version. The ailerons and tail were very erratic and sometimes completely random, independent of stick movement. We ended up building the plane with a Flysky i-6X as the provided radio in the RTF kit was un-useable. The rest of the plane was fine and flew quite well. A bit too tail heavy with the 2S 1300mAh batte...
Oil light reset Renault Clio MK3

This is how to reset the oil light / service message, form a Renault Clio MK3. This was on a 1.4 16v petrol, but it's the same process for all models. Make sure you only do this after you have serviced the car! :)
Mazda MX5 coolant flush

This is the process I use to do a cooling system flush. Sorry for the procedure not being very clear or complete, but I filmed it while I was doing some other things on the car. Any questions let me know in the comments below I used the Wynns radiator flush which I got from Eurocarparts: www.eurocarparts.com/p/wynns-radiator-flush-325-ml-555770480
Trick to keep your bolts labeled n2
มุมมอง 154 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a little trick I tend to use when taking bolts out. It is especially useful when doing restoration projects that take a long time so you will probably have forgotten where each bolt went when you come back to it. Simply get some cable ties and keep put them through the nut or tie them on the threads of the bolts. This way each bolt is ready at it's correct place for reassembly.
Introducing my faithful MX-5

Meet my MX-5! It has been my faithful companion since 2016. I actually used this car for 2 and a half years as my daily driver, being extremely reliable and fun. Unfortunately, it had a bit of an oil leak which I did not monitor as often as I should have…. aaaaaand….. the engine died… Big end bearings went and when taking the spark plugs off I found a bit of debris in the combustion chambers to...

Renault Clio Sport 197 (MK3) air filter replacement
มุมมอง 1.6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Process required to change your air filter on a third generation Renault Clio Sport 197. The filter I took out had approximately 35K miles and was quite dirty. The replacement filter was the OEM Renault part which I bought from RenaultPartsDirect for a very reasonable 14GBP and very fast shipping.

Charge car battery using LiPo Charger
มุมมอง 37K4 ปีที่แล้ว
How to charge your car or motorcycle Pb (lead-acid) battery using a LiPo RC Turnigy Accucel 6 charger. The process mentioned will work for most 4 button LiPo chargers. So no need to by a separate expensive car battery charger if you already have an RC iCharger. This proces works for 12V lead acid batteries and also for many other voltages.
Runflat VS Normal Tyres Mini Cooper
มุมมอง 7K4 ปีที่แล้ว
I was amazed at how much difference swapping run flat tyres for standard tyres made. So yeah.... Ditch those runflats! Plus they are a pain to put on and off the rim, I even broke the tyre fitting tool. Muuch better ride quality with the standard tyres. So especially if you have a bmw or a mini... Give it a try!
How much amp should i set for a car battery?
Hey, my clips are stuck, cant open the airbox, also my car is LHD so there's a reservoir on the left of the airbox
does someone know how to remove housing
I have been using multiple lipo chargers on car batteries for years. They work great in a pinch. Never been able to get even a fully depleted 850cca car battery to take close to 10a... Normally they like to charge at around 6 amps even though my charger is capable of 15amps per channel. But it works and you dont need to buy a car battery charger unless you have stuff in storage or setting for a long while.
Thanks. I have a different charger (Toolkit M8) which also has the Pb option. Looks like I don't need to by another "trickle charger" :)
About to change the tyres on our Mini, saw your video and you experience says a lot. The only benefit of these RFT`s is that you can drive safely to a tyre center or to your nearest destination. that feeling is nice, but yes the RFT`s a really harsh to drive. and if you live somewhere where the roads are not great then it`s a challange. I also read that most of available`s RFT`s not great in (Hydro) Aquaplaning so will consider Normal tyres after seen your vid.
Title is inaccurate. You are charging the battery with a multi charger that specifically has a lead acid setting...
IT'S TRUE, I replaced mine for larger normal tyres, drives way better and looks seriously better.
Great video - thank you
For those that get the low voltage message after battery check , heres what I did. Removed battery from bike, Ran jumpers from a running truck for 15 min. This gave enough in the battery for the gizmo to read it and do its thing. If that will not work for you the Battery your working with could be Toast. Also Autozone and Advanced charge batterys for free if you have access Hope this helps someone. Thank you for this video uploader ...pure gold !!!
Thanks for this. I need some help with a car starting issue. How do I know when the battery is done charging? My car isn't starting so I used My B6 lipo charger to charge a Pb battery 72 Ah 12V (6 A setting at Pb battery) for two hours and the feeding current changed from 4.6 A to 0.7 A so I guessed that the battery was strong enough to test starting the car. The lamp on the battery is glowing aswell which I assume is a good sign. But it didn't work. So either I wasnt patient enough or I need to replace spark plugs.
The charger should show “End” or “Full” depending on what charger you have. The fact that it went from 4.6A to 0.7A is a good sign. Means that the charger thinks the battery is close to full. When you tried on the car, was the car cranking normally and fast? If not, it could be a bad battery that is struggling to release amps
Nice video, but I have one correction that I think you should make. If you want to charge your battery at 1C then you would charge it at 1.2 amps, but if you want to charge your battery at 0.1C then you would charge it at 0.12 amps. Here is the math: 0.1 c * 1.2 amps equals 0.12 amps.
Not quite! The battery is an 11.2Ah (just that the first “1” is slightly rubbed off). So 0.1Cx11.2Ah=1.12A
@@aser2429Thanks for the correction! I didn't notice the "1" had rubbed off.
Can I do this somehow with my venom duo?
Great video. Now i feel confident to do it myself 👏👏👏
Hi, I bought an ultra cell battery 12V 9AHr and i charged it with iMax Ba6 charger but i only reachs arround 13.5 volts is this normal ?
I think that sounds about right. 13.5 is roughly what it would normally see in the vehicle!
Nice explanation, I have only to make up some leads or even just exposed wires and use clamps from jumper leads to attach to bigger terminals on car battery.(insulate other ends, or clamp on the matching terminal for safety) Too easy, thanks. I could make leads from old clamps to suit, too lazy nowadays. haha
Thanks !
I changed my ECO tires on my Prius Prime to Michelin tires and it drives like a dream. Mileage went from 57mpg to 55.....I'm ok with that!
Nice tutorial. Empty car battery charging will last 6+ hours then. So find a place where tiny cooler whiling will not disturb you much.
Cheers, changing the fronts today and making this change.
what if its an AGM or gell cell?
I actually do not know for sure… of it was me, I would also use the Pb setting and choose the correct voltage at a low amperage setting. But please do your research as I am not 100% sure
great video! helped me out so much. keep making content on electrical stuff
Thanks Ethan!! :) what sort of electrical stuff would you like to see?
It's just as effective as a 20w solar charger right? Almost?
Yes! Charging at that low amperage rate a 20W solar charger would give you about the same! :)
Where’s your rad from?
Yea thats great mate and what are you gonna do when you get a flat without a spare?
I would use some tyre repair slime. Or call the recovery service. I would never drive on a run flat tyre anyway, as driving on them completely destroys the tyre, so even if the original puncture was repairable, after running on the run flat the tyre will be destroyed and not possible to be repaired. Meaning that a puncture will always be very expensive.
Great
This is the perfect overview!! Thank you a ton! I wanna see your flying :D
Ok,soo ,have same charger,I need to charge two small children electric cars..one is 6V and I think 4 Ah,and the other one is 12 V with 7 Ah..I haven't done the settings that you have done at the beginning of your video,I did try to charge the 12 V ,7 Ah battery and I got error message saying Circuit Brake...as I did chose Pb,and 0.7 Ah with 6C...now that battery I checked it up with multimeter and was showing 0.52V...I don't know if I can bring it back to life,or what settings to use to charge it up...any advice? Thank you!
Sorry for the late reply! When it shows as circuit brake, it is usually because the internal resistance of the battery is very high which usually means a dead battery. You can sometimes get lucky trying to charge with NiMh setting on the charger for 15-30min to try to wake the battery up, and then switch to Pb setting (although if its very dead it will not work). You do that at your own risk though, and please make sure you are monitoring the battery during the hole of that time, making sure it doesn’t get hot. Etc
Great video, I've just started charging my 12v 10.5 amp hour battery at 0.8, will it stop when it's full?
@@brendontills8798 Yes it will stop when its full! :)
Thanks im very grateful... your post help me allot... i did follow your instructions and greate results :)
I am very glad it helped! :)
Many Thanks Gabriel
I have a 6v 7ah battery, trying to charge on a C150 charger, but it keeps telling me to disconnect. I put at Pb Charge at 6v and 0.7A, but it does no where. Where am I going wrong?
Turned off timer and capacity as well.. nothing! What’s the problem?
If you do a voltage check and a resistance check on your battery what does the charger tell you? If your battery is damaged with very high internal resistance sometimes the charger will not want to do anything. You could try charging at a lower voltage for a bit, or charge using Nimh mode for a bit until the voltage bumps up. But do monitor the battery closely during this time and do not leave unattended.
Cheers.
Title is a bit off I think. It's actually not a LIPO charger but a Charger that charges a various type of batteries. The LIPO charge function is not in use for charging Pb batteries. And that is what I thought I was about to see how you did. But great video for me too. I had confirmation that what I do is what others do.
Apologies if it misslead you. I used that title as most radio control LiPo chargers also have the same capabilities. Glad it helped though!
Thanks for the warning! We were just half-considering going from normal tyres to runflats on an old mini.
If that battery you had here was dead or almost dead how long would it take to charge at the rate you used to charge it here?
If it was dead it would never charge setting the charger to 12 volts. The charger would throw a low voltage warning which sucks. I jumped my batters with a lipo battery for a few seconds until it had enough juice so that the battery tender detected some voltage and started charging. Since its only at 6 volts after sitting for 12 hours I tried to use my 4 button charger but setting it to 10 volts gives a low voltage warning so the battery has to me near the target voltage for it to work. So if I charged it to 10 volts and then set the charger to 12 volts it complains with a low voltage error so this is kind of useless for folks trying to resurrect a dead battery. I wonder if any of the other modes would work.
That is a very good point you make there @MrJoe. I am always a bit scared with jumping a battery with a lipo, as depending on the capability of the lipo the charge/diacharge rate could be massive (some LiPos can give 100A!!!). But your thinking is correct, try to connect some form of battery to “wake it up” before going into charge mode. What sometimes works (not always) is putting the charger in NiMh mode at a low voltage to try to wake the battery up for 15-30min and then swap over to Pb (although keep monitoring that battery during that time).
@DaveCue, theoretically, if you are charging at 0.1C it means it would take 10h to fully charge a battery.
Id rather keep the instant turn steering feel. I guess it depends on the road quality where you live
Really bad road quality around where I live 😂😂😂
lipo does it need a power transformer or no and thx to u
It does need one if you are powering it directly from the wall plug. I use one From an old laptop, that I have soldered an XT60 connector to it.
@@aser2429 k thx to u I wish you more
Lame this charger doesn't have a float setting
many thanks for a good tutorial :)
I have a AGM 12v 75ah battery and want to charge with the same charger you have. Do i follow the same steps? Whats amps should i put on my charger?
Hi! Yes, you should follow the exact same steps. For a 75ah you should be able to charge safely at up to 7.5A. So 7.5A or lower should be your target current. However, if I remember correctly the charger maxes out at 5A. So i. Reality you should be able to charge at the full 5A
Extremely helpful. I am much more confident I won't start a fire now
Great video, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
Awesome. Thanks.
thanks!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for the advice. It's funny I have the same charger as you have :) and it didn't cross my mind to use👍
Guys , Does a non runflat goes to a runflat rim? Any issue?
Yes! No issue with that. Runflat rims have an extra hump in the bead area to make sure the tyre stays in place when running with no air. But yes, non runflat tyres are perfectly ok on runflat rims :)
It’s ready! Put it in the air! 😂 I ordered this in a rtf. I immediately yanked the receiver and put an old 4 channel Spektrum in it. Combined w a 1500 3s (set about 6 inches back from the front of the plane.
Yep! Similar thing! I ended up putting in a 4ch frsky receiver with an 1800mah battery. Flies good. Its a good learner!! 😊
@@aser2429 is it a 2 or 3s? Because I have several 1800 and 1500 2s
@@KL-uu2vq i fly it with the 1500 2s that came with the plane, or with 1800-2200 3s that I have and it flies well! Electronics seem to be ok with 3s
Does the tyre monitoring system need any adjustment?
It does not. Just use as normal. I would recommend reseting it every time you adjust the pressure, but runflat vs non-runflat does not make a difference :)
@@aser2429 worked this out a bit later, awesome! 👍😎
Great job 👍
Hiw much flush goes into the radiator? And do i put the same amount of water into the radiator?
Follow the instructions in the back of the product you buy. In my case, it was the whole bottle. After that you need to completely fill the cooling system with water and then run the car as per the instructions in the bottle.
Thanks for the video, very useful! But when I did everything, it worked for 15 minutes, and when I came to see how it was going, the charger was turned off and it was not working. And I see that is the power supply, the converter that is connected to the plug, that it is not operating. Like if there were not electric current, because even its own light to show there is current, is off.
I think your power supply might have died. You can use many power supply for these chargers as usually the acceptable voltage input is quite large. I use an old laptop power supply.
@@aser2429 yes, it is totally dead, but It worked as usually everytime I used for LiPo before. I guess something about voltage in the plug, or maybe the thing I was charging a motorbike battery, its what had killed it. I'll try again with another power supply and let's see if It works. It worked for you and, as I see, for many people even with similar chargers or power supplies... Bad luck for me.
@@senorlaverdaque6080 hopefully you get it working again! :)
@@aser2429 well, I bought another power supply and now I charged the battery at 0.9 A (low time charge as It says in the battery), instead of 2A (high speed charge) and it finally worked. So useful, as I dont have to buy an specific car/motorbike battery charger. Thanks for your tutorial!
