The tops ABSOLUTELY have to be removed if you decide to paint them and ESPECIALLY if you want to hydro dip them. LiPo batteries and water do not mix very well.Battery tips do not need to be removed - the sticker is cut and ready for use. Small flaws on the folds are corrected by heating with an air dryer.
The entire label passes without dismantling the body of the drone.
There are places you can send the body in for dipping. Maybe not feasible for you to do that I don't know.I was going to Hydro dip seems like nobody in my area does it anymore.
Cool thread. Thanks for sharing. I thought about wrapping my body parts in CF film but painting might be good as well.
I have two extra bodies that I may send out to have Hydro dipped. Problem is I don’t have the battery tops.There are places you can send the body in for dipping. Maybe not feasible for you to do that I don't know.
I only removed 1 of 4 battery tops to have dipped. I watched a few you tube vids on how to remove the tops and on how to remove the Inspire body. Took me 3 1/2 hours to remove the Inspire body and replace with the dipped one. I can be short on patients sometime. lol My other battery tops are white so just have 1 matching. Good luck !I have two extra bodies that I may send out to have Hydro dipped. Problem is I don’t have the battery tops.
I may just paint the other bodies myself a different color and swap them out when I get tired of one color. It would be nice to have matching battery tops. I’ve gotten so good at taking this thing apart I can disassemble it along with the battery tops in about an hour.
