Will this fit ?

gonna try to sodder a thicker a basic red wire

exactly hw im goin to do it
1 strip wires
infuse the wire strands togethor
twist
appy sodder
use shrink tube
also is flux optional

im also worried when im done its going to be to short to plub back in

For something simple like this I’d say that flux should be optional, just make sure that your wire gets hot enough to not get some cold joints

hey is thier a way to extend the cut motor wire its just just to much tenshion and i think im going to run in to issues later ? any idea what size or somthing like that ? it need like a quater inch of cable

What’s an inch? Oh, you mean a quarter of 25.4mm? So, like 6.35mm - ish.

Generally, under most cases, wire size is determined by how much current it needs to carry. In isolated cases where the amount of current is ridiculously small, you may want to select by physical strength (example: wires to RC receiver)

Not opening my enclosure again to check

I have just spent like 10min putting in all the bolt
Also upgraded to m5 bolts and inserts and they are so much better

What could be the cause though?

Told you M5 is da shit…

One vesc starting up faster than the other…
Could be a faulty cap, or bootloader problem

Thanks

First build here - looking to setup my ESC before i finish this thing this weekend.

Flipsky Dual 6.6 - what do you all recommend for the VESC firmware version? Is the latest one stable? I believe my flipsky was shipped with 4.2 on it already
