And make sure to enjoy that pop! Thanks for doing this for me Linc.

No prob, lipo is done. New tap wires, new deans plug, new 13 gauge power wires. And new black shrink that does not look like it was applied by the blind...

I will drop it in the mail on my way home, priority of course. And thanks for the pop!!!

I am rolling on the floor reading that - ouch.... I must say that plastic shrink is like onion skin - it just vapourises if you apply too much heat on one spot. Using a blow torch ?? even my 2 cents gas lighter blows holes in the shrink. Have to use a hair dryer to ensure even shrinkage.

I figured someone with a dry sense of humor would like that!

I use a heat gun on low setting to shrink the packs. Heat the ends a bit to get them almost tight, the run sown the narrow sides, then the wider sides, then finish off the ends. Seems to produce the best repeatable results in that order...
