Ubec

Ok, first thing I would do is solder the + and the - of the UBEC to the + on the ESC and the - on the ESC. It makes it easier to change batteries, etc...Not sure about the batteries though..Maybe they touched the chassis?

One thing I didn't make clear is that the ESC is shrink wrapped so it is almost inpossible to solder the + and - to the ESC. However, the + and - are soldered to the deans but on the ESC sides not the battery sides.

As far as the batteries touching the chassis I had a sparking problem when I first got it and I shrink wrapped one set of batteries and didn't have the sparks anymore. The batteries I was using when I had this problem were not sprink wrapped and there was definately burned sections on the blue foam. I removed it all and was going to call Gorilla Maxx tommorrow to get another set of blue pads.

What is your take on the shrink wrap having two holes in it after the first run with it? Just a reminder the UBEC was not hot to the touch, however the batteries I could not touch at all.

Here is some photos.
The first photo is the red UBEC wire connected to the red ESC side of the deans connection.
The second photo is the black UBEC wire connected to the black ESC side of the deans connection.
The third photo shows the two holes in the UBEC that arrived after the first time using it.

As far as where the BEC was located it was on a custom alum. plate that I made and I used servo tape to hold it in place. Third photo shows the place.
