Kraton Shrink wrapped motor connectors/placement

[studmoney]

Just curious who else runs there wires vertical apposed to the horizontal route I usually see? Also is heat wrapping the connections smart or not so smart?

Heat shrink on the motor wires is where it's at.... no more disconnect after landing hard time after time..

Verticle or Flat as feasible on your specific rig. Generally it is best to keep wires secure enough so they don't flop around when bashing hard. That is how the solder joints weaken over time, then break. Wire ties and Heatshrink is always the way to go. Motor leads usually come apart at some point.

Below, I always drill a hole at the 2 blue dots and place a wire tie through it to keep the 3 wires in place.. The motor wires usually pop out here if you don't.

Get the marine type with adhesive if you can

First bash session with the shrink wrapped wires and the heat from the motor only solidified the wrap further very cool idea.
