I’m betting he’s not gonna want to pull that 70.2 for any further tests. :wink:

M4D M4X: For all people who want to let us know the value that should be declared on the parcels:
please take the BLF GT customs declaration survey

.
Samsung 35E seem ideal, high mAh and good amps.
M4D M4X is doing a groupbuy, here: GROUPBUY: 8pcs Samsung 35E BUTTON TOP for the BLF GT

Coyotehawk will add you to the list. Your name will show up once he does the next update. It will be early January when you will get a PM (personal message) giving you all the details of where to go and how to pay.

It doesn’t hurt to sign up for the batteries now. Your not under any obligation to buy, but it helps Madmax to know how many sets of cells he needs to order.

You’ll be able to choose your shipping when you order.

Welcome to BLF.

No, there is not enough battery capacity to sustain it that long.

Using the short prototype and 4 30Q cells running at 2A it stayed in regulation for 45 minutes. Using 8 cells should give 1.5 hours and another ~1.5 hours before it hits LVP.

Using 35E cells will give it a bit longer run time.

Running it at 2.5A shortens these times, obviously.

Please add me to the list.

This project looks to be an enormous amount of work, thank you to all the members who have put in all the effort to bring it to fruition! The prototype looks fantastic!

Welcome to BLF.

LOL!! :person_facepalming: :smiley: :smiley:

Well played. :+1:

Why don’t we wait until the Miller is here before we make assumptions about his feelings. I believe he actually has a sense of humor and CAN recognize a Joke when he hears one. I wish more people here could say the same about themselves. It’s waaaaay to easy to offend
lots of People here over trivial stuff. Cheers.

Lighten up

Some advise please.
I made payment about 8 hours ago and received the confirmation of payment from Paypal.
However, i have not got the second e-mail where i shall confirm my username and telephone number.
Should i just wait further or contact someone?

Thanks in advance.

Now if you dropped it on your foot….the head and leans would be the last thing on your mind. :smiling_imp:

Check spam/junk folder in your email.

Or just sent email for same address that your sent payment. You can also try to pm neal.

I think the second email is automatic. Many have claimed not to receive it yet it’s gone into spam.

Checked the spam/junkmail folder but not found it there either.
However i took the advise and have sent a pm to Neal and im sure it will be sorted out.

Thank you for the advise.

Let’s not distract Neal to much guys, he has important work to do :) And he has only 2 days left.... :)

Does anyone have any ideas where to get a budget friendly lens cap/cover for the GT available either in the UK or from one of the big Chinese sellers ?
Someone posted about a neoprene cover available for about $7 on Amazon US, which looks perfect, but the same cover on Amazon UK is about $25.
I have not been able to find anything suitable & budget friendly (134mm id) on Amazon UK, Ebay UK or any of the Chinese sites.
I have seen a camera lens cover that will fit but it is over $100 so the same price as the GT itself.

Please add me to the list.

Thank you for another awesome Project!

As some have stated, it was not in good taste.

But rest assured, the GT is in good hands.

It is best we limit confusing comments for the sake of smoothness and simplicity.

Neals wedding day is just 3 days away, so needless to say I think he underestimated the amount of work that would be and it is taking a lot of his time. How he has ANY time to spend on the GT I have no idea.

It also sounds like the Qc checks and final packing have been taking longer then they planned. Which is a good sign, it means they are fully testing the lights properly and that should mean there are no issues like other GB’s have had (which is why we wanted Neal heading up the China side of things in the first place for this one).

I am waiting for a reply with more details now, I will let ya’ll know when I find out more.

The issue here is finding an mcpcb for it. It needs to be big, the stock one is around 45mm and it needs to have the LED in 12V config. I have been working on possible testing ideas for this but nothing good has been found yet.

Also this^ is true, I am in no hurry to remove this XHP70.2, I really like it. So I am kinda waiting until I get the V1 prototype back for more extreme testing like this. VOB wants to do a comparison video with the production version once he gets his, so until then he has it.

Knowing me though, I will get antsy and end up taking this one apart at some point anyways lol.
