Aquacraft UL-1 Superior ESC Wire Length Question

[Jonny15678]

Hi guys I recently got my new RC Boat and Had to change the wires around a bit for everything to fit properly especially the Lipos. As you can see the ESC wires arnt too long there fore they are kinda pulling the ESC off the velcro it held on by. Is there anything I can add or adjust to keep the ESC held down a bit better?

Rotate the esc 180 degrees.

I'll try it and see how it works

Mount your lipos with the wires towards the motor is another way. See if that works, make sure no wires will get caught with the collet.

Well I did it and it looks alot better than before way less tension on the wires. Also is it bad to bend the motor wires I've bent them around a couple times when I got the boat trying to rewire it. 100_1680.jpg100_1679.jpg100_1677.jpg100_1676.jpg100_1675.jpg

Is there Something else I can use to hold the receiver, ESC and Lipos down besides the stock velcro? The velcro lets the Lipos move too much.

try some heavier duty velcro. the batteries don't need to be solid as a rock in there. as long as they are stuck well its fine.

I get INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH Velcro, it is not the thin ones you get from the boat, but you need to use that with care, I cracked a hull once tearing the batteries off the velcro. I put only a short piece( 2"or so) on the battery . I use credit cards to separate them rather than just yanking the batterty off the velcro.
Picture looks good, but YOU MUST FIND A WAY TO CLEAR THE WIRES FROM TOUCHING THE COLLET!

What is the collet?

[tlandauer]

The black thing on the motor shaft that grabs the cable!
