Brushless systems

[franki]

hi, I have a quick question! Is it possible to shorten the wires on a brushless system?? I only ask because a lot of people don't seem to so I was thinking do they have to be a set lenth??

sorry if this sounds daft

[Big G]

yes it's possible. I wouldn't advise messing with the sensor wire length though.

Yes of course! I think some people leave them longer as they regularly change cars.

The sensor lead length can be changed, but you'd need to be fairly confident with soldering, and make sure the right wires are soldered together - the ESC won't like it otherwise.

Hi Franky,

Are these short enough for you




You can do it you'll have no problems, and you can buy different size sensor wires for it.

Hi,
Just a small tip I've been told is that you can change the lenght of the wires no problem but you need to have them even in lenght . As the ESC is sending pulsions like 123123123123 fast (40k+ rev/min) some wire difference in lenght will change this timing 1..2.31..2. 3 giving very tiny acceleration and breaking . You may loose efficiency I think and probably a bit of power . I've never done the maths to see how many % it will really cost you .

My two cents

That's only going to be noticeable if you're the worlds best driver ever, on a very fast motor, and the wires of drastically different length.

The electron flow along the wires (IE current) is at the speed of light (3 x 10^8m/s) - I highly doubt that a couple of mm will make any discernable difference.
