I'm anxious to see the new accessories installed, 2 know them (support electronics and battery) but the third did not know what it is ...

Gutted everything out of the chassis and rewired everything

Decided to smash the electronics so they would all fit on the Electronics tray ...started by removing and soldering together the power leads




I finally got the two FX-Rs smashed and rewired .... Everything went fairly smooth. I had previously removed the soldering posts so today I was just basically decasing the esc's and some soldering. I did notice that the signal leads from the Esc are very frail without the casing there to support them. I put a fine tip on my soldering iron and tacked them all in place to eliminate any future issues. I also shortened all the signal wiring and soldered the servo power power and ground wires directly to the b.e.c and ran only the yellow signal wire to the receiver .The results were "smashing"




No more rats nest in the chassis....

I'm not sure if I'm happy with the b.e.c placement.. Wanted it under the servo but , it doesn't fit!

And finally the all stressful power up... For some reason every time I solder electronics and even though I know I did it properly I always brace for the magical smoke poof!! Everything powered up with no issues.....
