K9. Start of the electronics




The electronics always look so simple at the begining. I am trying to keep everything on two removable boards that are housed in the body so the under tray can easily be removed to work on the motors or change batteries. The Sabretooth Dual 25A ESC is the control for the motors, radio taken care of with a Spektrum 6200 reciever, Sport BEC,  a few switches and fuses and it all seems to work.
The charge system is the same as used in the R6 with removable sockets so the ESC is issolated when charging. The whole system is 12v not 24v simple due to the fact that the weight for the final build will be so low that 24v would be overkill. Keeping it on 12v also gives me higher Amps on the batteries at 18Amps which will return good run times, I hope. I have not used the four scooter batteries connected together like this before so they are an untested item.
