| Smashing CC Sidewinder Micros
Anyone have a quick how to or at least best method to connect the Batt inputs to both? I did some searching and only came up with post pics without the detail. If there isn't maybe you have some tips? I'd be happy to do a DIY based on tips for those who might be overthinking it like I probably am. |

I run twin sidewinders on a Clodzilla, I just made up a Y lead (single male Deans to 2 female) to split the battery input between the two ESC's. I got a split y lead for the signal wires from the RX too, and took out the red wire from one side to the front ESC and the rear one powers the RX just fine. My BEC is plumbed into the servo. Works a treat. If you want, I can knock up some pictures when I get home on wednesday. |

The purpose is to reduce wire length, bulk and weight, so an adapter defeats the purpose. Interested in the best method also, I bricked a 1/10 sidewinder last weekend doing this. I believe I got it to hot hooking the other ESC and BEC wires onto the back of the board where the stock wires come through. |

Chris the battery man has a couple of links on his site back here with really good pictures. You will need an iron hot enough to melt the solder quickly and transfer as little heat to the ESC's as possible. I studied those pictures for a couple of days before doing it, and they cane out just a little bigger than one of the cases. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 |
