The RC Madlabz Outcast 4SV2 chassis brace, in case you're wondering about it!

Fitment was pretty straightforward, but make sure you've done everything you need to do on the bottom of the chassis first, because once it's in place you lose access to all the holes underneath it.

It's not machined wit...

As demonstrated on my little MJX Hyper Go. It was easier for the video to demonstrate on a small model, but I've also done it for my TRX-4. I'll do it for the Outcast 4S as soon as the rubber clip retainers break.

Nice idea! This is especially great when you have a few clips and you end up losing them on your mess of a work bench. Now they just stick to the body. I will definitely be using this idea.

power output from the wall?

Thanks for the response. That doesn't seem likely. 4S @ 10 amps should be no more than 200 watts, and the charger is rated at 200 watts, and of course my AC wall outlet can do 200 watts.

And it doesn't shut down, or anything. It keeps charging, but beeps loudly, and doesn't show any error message.

OK, I'm not sure what was going on last Friday, but I just charged at 10AM twice with no problems.

No idea, I tried several times on Friday and got crazy beeping until I turned down the charge rate.
