Capacitor in battery connector

[stiles]

Do I need the capacitors? This is the second time it’s pulled out and just wondering if I can eliminate them. I’ve seen cars without them.

You definitely need them due to the burst of power from your lipo’s but if you want to stop pulling them get and external capacitor that hooks up into the receiver then instead of ripping out wire you’ll just unplug the wire

I deal with this often myself.. The weight of the caps and board love to slap around.. Best way to combat it is to isolate the cap section of the wires somehow so they don't wing around..

I would imagine making those 2 external would do the trick for good.. Since it's only the 2 caps it would fit nicely on top of the servo..

That wasn't put together correctly.

Strain relief the ESC battery cable - put a zip tie anchor down somewhere and the zip tie the cable between the battery connector and the cap

You can re solder that pretty easily you jist need new esc wire. Remove the insolation (NOT CUTTING THE WIRE) do it on both sides and try to remain the closest possible to the esc like it came out of the factory. Make sure also do not solder backward

Its wire fatigue

It’s maybe a week old. I’ve been trying different ways holding the wires down. How would I do that? Hooked up to the receiver? I don’t know any about that

Ussualy you tape it up arround the tower to tower brace if you have a 4s. If it broke after a week then its warranty. Mine took 1 year and a half for it to pull out. With almost daily use
