CAT SX Wiring
 

Hi Guys

Ive just finished building a new CAT SX for one of the lads at the club.
I thought id share the pics of the wiring layout in case it helps anyone else.

Excuse the extended speedo wires and damaged fan, its a second hand speedo i was given ...............

Seems to me like this is the best way to avoid the battery wires getting tangled in the belt.

Keep wires short as is possible, plug in the negative first and then slide the pack into place ....

Cable tie the positive cable to the top deck using the two pre drilled holes

Orion 3200 pack fits well :)

Positive cable sits well clear of the belt .................

Looks very good Rich!! :thumbsup: Ive done the same with the posotive connector so it stays well clear of the belt :D

Ben

Nice photos.

Looks like Chris guide to the TrakPower posted a month ago: (minus the cable tie position, I do the same as you and use the holes in the top deck for cable tie)

Cheers fellas :)

exactly the same as i did!!

Here is my wiring based on a Tekin RS Pro ESC. I tried to put wires coming from LiPo in such a place they definitively can't touch the drive belt. The Tekin RS is really convenient to make a net wiring with its soldering posts. I think it's the first time I used so little wire length to make the total wiring :thumbsup:

The "+" wire is trapped between top deck and motor mount, so impossible to escape !

Hello,

Thanks,
