My XXX-T CR:.

Ill get mine up next week once i build it.

Hmm hard to see where all the wires are going to. But for a start you could shorten your battery leads.
This is probably a better example than ash's because its got a brushless speedo in which has more wires,

bit of a problem there ben.

the speedo is for my touring car, so i am unable to shorten the battery / motor wires

ahh right. Schumacher sell some of these http://www.racing-cars.com/products.asp?recnumber=9024
They will tidy up all your little receiver/speedo wires :thumbsup:

ben

ooh i like them

i might have-to put some of them up

Hi luke...

Instead of curling your wires round a pencil, try folding them, and then sliding a piece of heatshrink over them, thats what i do and it does look tidier IMO.

If you want me to take a few pics, let me know

thanks for the tip mate,

ill get some heat shrink :thumbsup:

what size, or dont it matter ?

Ideally the heat shrink wants to be about 3 or 4 times the thickness of the wires so that you can fold the wires about 3 times and then slide the heat shrink over :thumbsup:

hi could you post some pics cause i am installing brushless at the moment

You can laso use a small zip tie instead of a shrink.

The pics havent come up very clearly, ive used black heatshrink and its in my pred so you cant really make it out... I suppose thats a bonus though :p

Its as ben said, use some heatshrink. about 3 or 4 time larger than the wires, then fold the wires backwards and fowards along themselves and slide the heatshink over...

Ill try some more pics tomorrow when its lighter
