Wiring question - Castle XL2 - EBaja - 02.27.2012, 09:16 AM

Just finished wiring up my ESC for the E-Baja, after frying a BEC not plugging it in right, I figure best to get you guys to have a quick look before I throw any volts at it.

Have the XL2 with the Castle Cap pack on the battery leads (what a pain to solder up that thing was!), a small wire going from the + side through a 10 W 1 Ohm resistor and 2mm plug as my no spark connector, and 6.5mm bullets on the wires. Motor - ESC is the stock 8mm bullets the 2028 motor has (still got to get some big heatshrink for that) and will zip tie the resistor to the outside of the heatshrinked cap pack to keep it neat.

At present as I am only testing on 6s (2 + Protek 6800mah 50C 11.1V Hard Cased Lipos which came with 12AWG wire and Deans fitted), I have a series lead done up with the 6.5mm bullets out, and the 2mm no spark on the + side. Also have a Jst plug from the + and - (so full 6s) to power my CC Bec Pro should I decide to use it (in which case I have a servo extension for the esc with the red wire removed)

...so, hows it look? I am in two minds as to whether or not to keep the cap pack, it's unsightly and I'm not happy with how it sits, but if it's beneficial, I'll keep it there, or should I just can the cap pack and even can the no spark resistor (and get over the jumping from the esc spark)
