I agree the motor wires are to long, but thats great, so we ccan cut them to what ever length we need, and make out wiring nice and neat, with out having to have another set of wires coming from the speedo

I have my DX3 antenna running up right between the motor wires and nary a glitch. Lucky so far I guess.

I thought that you were not suposed to shorten the motor leads. I belive there was a thread about that on here not to long ago explaneing why

BrianG 11.04.2008 06:14 PM

You shouldn't shorten leads on motors like Feigao, Neu, etc because the leads are just extensions of the coil wires, and only the last inch or so has the varnish removed for soldering. It's almost impossible to solder to varnish-coated wires without somehow removing that layer.

Motors like the Mamba max motors are ok because the leads are just regular wires. The connections between the coils and the leads are done inside the motor. The CC Neu motors look like they fall into this category.

Alright so shortening motor wires will help reduce noise, what about those ferrous rings found on the ends of Gamming controllers like the Ps2's controller- i have one but i dont know if it will help any.
should i braid the Pwm wired (red black white-servo connector)?

E-fanatic 11.04.2008 07:10 PM

The ferrous rings almost doubled my range in my airplanes before I went to the futaba fasst with them. It worked really well ,Took all the funky glitching out.

brushlessboy16 11.04.2008 07:20 PM

Good to hear, ill try it out once my v3 gets here

What do i Run through it? the esc-to-rx wire or the antenna?

bl-is-future 11.04.2008 07:28 PM

yeah wrap the lead that goes to your rx form the esc around the ring.

brushlessboy16 11.04.2008 09:36 PM

Im using one out of a Ps2 Controller, its more cylindrical.. i will see what i can do

brushlessboy16 11.06.2008 01:18 PM

so is it a bad thing if the leads are stubby?

bl-is-future 11.06.2008 01:50 PM

if it is the cylinder type just put the wire inside. what do you mean stubby?

brushlessboy16 11.06.2008 01:52 PM

Motor wires, they are 7 1/2'' long right now. i want to shorten them to like 2".

sorry about that vague post

Sammus 11.06.2008 05:51 PM

I used some of those rings when I getting bad glitching on my crt.5 (4s a123, feigao 9l, mamba max, futaba 2.4ghz). I could even notice it with just the power system sitting on my bench. Ferrite rings made things worse for some reason, heeeaaaps worse. electronics positioning was not the problem (I even isolated the high power stuff completely on my bench when i was testing).

Still never figured out the problem *shrugs* I thought it was the MM and sent it back and they said there was nothing wrong with it. Not the case, I just don't run it anymore. Pity, really. Just waiting till i cbf posting it up here for sale heh.

brushlessboy16 11.06.2008 06:18 PM

seems eerily similar, but i dont know if its the motor/esc or the receiver.

BlackedOutREVO, That futaba fasst system is second to none. I couldnt be happier with mine. I will never buy a spektrum again!

I just with castle would hurry up with there system so I can run my truck!!

Hahahahahhaaha:lol:

And yea for sure! I couldnt be happier, maybe a smaller RX, but thats fine

Im not trying to put down spek, Its still year ahead of crystals IMO, I just prefer the FASST system, and especially my 3PK Super:mdr:

brushlessboy16 11.06.2008 07:08 PM

I have a spektrum receiver sitting here but no money for a module Lol... soo close but yet soo far
