First, I know I’m not going to know the proper name for what I’m about to ask about. That feels like a given, but here we go.
I’m wanting to know if there is an extension wiring of sorts for the three wires w/bullet plugs that extend out from my ESC that connect to the motor wires on a dual belt kit. We’re talking the TB pro2 kit, and I need longer wiring to connect the esc to the motor. Please and thanks
In theory I totally could, but that would involve getting the soldering gun, other supplies, whatever. I’m just looking to buy. It’d be a cord with one female end and one male end, like an aux cord extender.
I guess to go further from here, what do people normally use to protect the wiring — as in like sleeves or something? I’ve seen this lattice-nylon woven sleeve looking material before, but I wouldn’t know where to get it.
It sucks to hear this but I say buy a soldering iron and learn to solder. It is well worth it. It is a skill everyone should know how to do and you will be 1000x stronger after learning.
If you promise to embark on this journey, I’ll make you some of these motor phase wire extensions for free.
I brought some used motors and the phase wires have been cut and soldered together. Can anyone tell me if the soldering is good enough or should I desolder the wires and add bullet connectors?
I would always prefer connectors instead of solder. Also if you need to do anything to the motors its much easier to unplug/plug than to solder every time.
That being said, those solder joints look mostly fine to me. One or two could be flown together better but who knows how the wires were wrapped underneath that could be making the solder bulge out.
I’ve switched to tessa tape, the fuzzy kind. Instead of braided sleeves in a couple spots and it works too, but doesn’t look as nice especially because it can only be black and not color matched.
