Default cheap voltage indicator mod

I wanted to be able to know the voltage of my batt at all times while I crawl, but I like my M8 and didn't want to buy a radio with telemetry.

I found these cool voltage meters on eBay for a couple bucks so i bought 3. They show the total voltage and the voltage of each cell.










anyway I mounted it in the window of the crawler where the balance plug can easily reach. Just put shoo goo around the edges and that's it!

They have them at helibuy for like 3-4 bucks and i think they have a bulk option too which makes it even cheaper per each one.

For a buck + shipping I might have to pick one up just to have it.

I found a few on ebay by searching "lipo voltage" and they are only $1 plus shipping. Bad part is they come from Hong Kong and it says expected delivery of Early-Mid August....

I made two separate orders and they came long before the expected arrival date. I would guess it took about 7 days both times. Here is the link, although I see most of you have found them.
