how do you organize your model's electrical?
For the models which require several electrical devices (drive esc, external bec, alternate esc, light module, etc.) how do you go about connecting all theses to the single on board battery. Organization, compact size and serviceability are important to me. Trying to squeeze all of those wires onto a single deans plug never works out for me. I'm left with a huge tangle of wires which is hard to service and will likely fail at the poorly soldered joint.
In the 1:1 world we always use fuse panels to protect the wire when it steps down in size. The RC world has never been into such a thing, so ultra mini fuse blocks are not available. I've never heard of anyone using a chassis ground in RC. How do you guys approach this situation? Please share pictures/diagrams/stories, etc. This is the best I could come up with so far: A female plug for each device is wired in parallel with a main cable run. Each electrical joint would be pretty easy to wire and swapping out parts would be easy without soldering. I suppose the plugs/wire used would depend on the actual current, but for low current things the minis might be ok. |

Re: how do you organize your model's electrical?
That looks great. Do you know the ballpark dimensions?
Anybody try a negative ground system? Squeezing in only one of these terminals wouldn't be too bad. |

So they are from PMD . I guess my memory ain't so bad after all

They are great people to work with. No frame ground is just another challenge and thing to deal with when building. All part of the fun. Mario |
