| Here you can see my flat and lightweight wiring job. I've buyed the ESC's with the soldering posts removed for lightening. I've made a supply bridge over the two ESC's and I attach the battery wires, unified capacitor and BEC directly to it. Flat desing for low C.O.G. No redundant wires and no posts for lightweight. I have been studying this solution time enough until I can't find anything better. I know the reciver is a little big but for now is that I have and it is a great equipement and no one fail ever with the antenna rolled. Last edited by pelanas; 10-26-2011 at 04:01 PM. |

1 foot of 20 awg, 11.1v @ 30 amps gives a voltage drop of 5.5% The same, but with 12 awg wire gives 0.86% voltage drop. Up it to 60amps and the 20 awg has a voltage drop of 10.99% 12 awg has a drop of 1.71% | |

All of my electronics fit on a custom tray I made. After I unplug the motors and servo, it comes out in 1 piece. |

I'll take the weight savings and ease of use that comes with the smaller wires. I'm running 18 AWG on the motors, and 16 everywhere else. | |
