Can i shorten esc wires

The component you must use are capacitors. Capacitors are used in parallel on the ESC battery input wires. These capacitors are best positioned as close as possible to the ESC. They are wired directly across the positive and negative terminals of the ESC in one location.

It is important to not distribute them along the length of the ESC to battery wires. Doing so will not provide any benefit to the system. In addition, placing the capacitors close to the battery will not be efficient as the battery acts as a much larger capacitor. The inertia in the form of current gets worse as you move down the wires towards the ESC. I think Castle then had some sort of deal to use that design.

What about the ? Is that considered a Monster? Or are all Castle motors considered Monsters? So he shouldn't cut the motor wires since its the motor not the Monster? These are considered CM36 motors, which Castle says you may shorten the leads, I have already done so with no ill effects! Originally Posted by Khwilliams.

I have the ESC on velcro to give it some "give" as well. Thanks for the help. I use a with shortend wires on the motor and ESC. You can also reuse the 4mm connectors. They are VERY easy to unsolder and put back together. BB code is On. Smilies are On. Most servos and speed controllers come with a wire that is too long for the average RC car. The usual way to deal with this is to either make a spiral by tightly wrapping the wire around a pencil, or by carefully bundling the wire up and securing it with a zip-tie.

A better way, albeit requiring more effort, is to shorten the servo wire to the exact length needed. The unused length of wire is just ballast, and also restricts current flow. One method of shortening the cable would be to replace the connector. This works fine, but I found it is actually easier to shorten the cable inside the servo. First, measure the exact length of wire you need and add 1 cm or so to compensate for the amount of wire that resides within the servo case.

Open up the servo. Usually there are four long screws, accessible from the bottom, that hold the servo together. Login at the top of this page to stop seeing this message. My question is the wires attached to both the motor and ESC are too long for my application and I would like to shorten them both by desoldering the factory plugs and re-soldering them back on after I cut them to length. My question is this, is this possible? I thought I read somewhere that you should not because this can cause poor performance and or non functioning motor.

Is this true. Any thoughts or comments are much apreciated. Sponsored Links. If you can solder you can do and not have a single problem. Last edited by hdon37s; at PM. After reading this part in the booklet second paragraph is why I ask the question.

Just want to make sure that I was able to shorten the wires without any adverse effects. Originally Posted by hdon37s. On some brushless motors the wire leads are actually the magnet wire used in the windings.
