This is the way. Routing decks is asking for trouble.
I also agree that braid should be avoided.
I’ve never had any issue with long phase wires but i’ll be fucked if every time i’ve extended sensor wires i haven’t lost my sensors soon after.
I don’t know what it is, I’ve never had the patience to troubleshoot it, but i’ve extended sensor wires quite a few times now and every single time i’ve ended up just running sensorless.
Ok, a few things has been decided… No braid, long is good…
Unfortunately no routing deck is a no no for me… It looks so ugly those wires, so I will give it a try. We will se how it goes…
Thanks everyone for the inputs, it helped a lot.
If you insist on routing the deck, I would highly suggest fiberglass over the wire when you’re done, this can add some strength back in a way that retains flexibility. It makes maintenance all but impossible though.
Yup, already did it that way before, thanks.
I’m currently running 4 phase wires and sensors extensions. So far no issues yet… though it had only been a couple months.
I am certain that my sensor issues were 100% skill issue on my part 
I’d wager soldering 6x 18AWG is a skill issue for most people, especially if using connectors as an intermediary like an LP20 or something. Such thing wire and so little insulation it’s bound to fuck up somewhere.
Instead of extending I’ve had better results just installing longer wires to the motors.
Not skill. You were just being extra…
A bit too extra…
Always
To be fair, I didn’t do my sensors extensions. I had my unpaid worke- I mean friend @Pecos did it for me.
This is insane amount of frustration to remove print and fiberglass layer, but she is a beauty beneath.
Enough for today, my hands hurt.
Looks amazing! I don’t know if i’ve ever seen a nude haero before, this is epic!
Yup, too bad it won’t stay this way, but for this kind of build I am not that sorry since most of it will be covered with enclosure and bindings.
But my next build will be all naked wood.
