Ah, thanks for the compliment, its important to crimp neatly!
I'm quite fortunate that I run a wood work and upholstery factory, and my dad's metal work factory is on the same estate. So I have a plethora of tools and machines available.
Might have been a bit excessive, but I was using a 100tonne guillotine to cut the wire!
BTW, I showed the advert for the qdos in BVR to my wife, she thinks its brilliant.
Do you supply it in kit form?
Its IC at the moment, as i understand, but do you have an electric version?

Oooo er, must admit I prefer soldering and if done correctly they are far stonger and less likely to ever fail than crimps
But Hex are defo best type but I have to admire your nicely made crimper and crimped conections, at the end of the day once the heat shrinks over them you'll hardly know

I reject reality and substitute my own !!!!!!
Well I suppose some "kits" do come like that .
I built a so called ATV kit up once which seemed to consist of putting the wheels on and attaching the handles
Oh and I had to apply some stickers
and that was suppose to be supplied in "kit" form
OK so I had to go round and tighten pretty much every bolt and re-manufacture half he machine but then thats what you get with this chinese stuff
So perhaps thats what they mean when they say its supplied in a kit LOL

It runs - yay...
well actually it did run, and it ran very well, controller up to 55 deg, not a prob.
Then went to pull away and it cut out.
Fault code VMN, diagnostics/fault finding says:
'C5 The most probable reason is that the fault is inside the controller, replace it'
Think I am going to cry, £700 down the drain. Maybe I was chucking too much current through it, but I never drove it flat out, or pulled away hard, or span the motor freely. I thought it would have a safety cut out anyway?
I'll be calling electrofit zapi first thing on Monday. Maybe they can fix it? That'll be at least a few hundrfed quid I think. Its gonna be a *please do not swear* weekend now.
Erm, bye
