3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

Re: 3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC thread

I've heard as long as the battery leads, this includes leads on the ESC and the actual battery, should be no longer than 12''. So you can probably extend them a little but usually it's not a good idea. If you must extend the battery leads adding a CC Cap pack will help with the voltage ripple that occurs from making the leads longer.

Maybe Gary can chime in nd confirm but I'm almost sure he had this discussion with the ZTW esc folks who confirmed 12".

I also think based on that you see fine with the jumper for telemetry. If you find out otherwise please let me know asap as it was my plan for the two tm1000 I picked up at wram.

12" from battery terminals solder joints to ESC board solder joints for the ZTW ESC is correct, and that is from ZTW.
So, make sure you account for the length of the battery leads!

so im guessing that i can solder the telemetry voltage leads to the esc wires.

That's the way all mine are setup!

Yup! On my 71" slick I soldered the telemetry voltage leads right where I soldered the deans connector onto the esc.

i actually tried that with no success on EC3's

Then keep trying or, if using a ZTW, I usually add a 2" extension the the stock ESC leads, and put my telemetry or BEC pro leads at that solder joint.

voltage leads job finished!!!!!! thanks fellers. dont know what id do with out yas.

I would think that EC3's would be easier because you just have to put the telemetry voltage leads inside the bullet connectors with the esc leads.

 

[wedoitall]

actually i just soldered up the leads for my MXS with ec5's and got that to work that way

hey since were on the subject of telemetry and esc's whats the normal and maximum temperature range for an esc?
