Default Motor Wires

Hello all,

I have finally gotten my 45t lathes!

Now I am working on soldering the motor wires and installing the electrics to the truck.

The question is:

Is the recommended practice to make a large Y cable to attach the motors to the esc,

or

a slightly smaller Y with short jumpers on the motors so that they may be unplugged from the Y?

Advantage, disadvantage, does it matter what way I do it?

One is more reliable (if done right) while the other is more flexible...I would say it doesn't really matter...until you have connectors that are unable to handle the current that they may be passing. As far as practical issues involved in crawling, I do not know.

Run the wires from the esc to the rear motor, then from the rear motor to the front motor. This will help some with clodstall.
