Glenn Philbrick Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I am about to prepare a wiring loom for my Lancaster and have a few questions. Each motor is rated to give about 200 watts at 20amps. Is it better to use 16swg twisted or 1.5mm single wiring for the power to the ESC's? Is a Deans connector capable of taking the full 80amps? I intend to use at least two 3s battery packs with a capacity of 4000 to 6000maH depending on where the C of G turns out and how much weight I need to balance it, at present its weight is about 5.5lbs with 3x 3s 2200 packs. I am thinking of mixing the inner and outer motors for different throttle settings, is there preferance to slow the innner or outer pair or is it better to slow all four down together? In the wing there are two cutouts for the cables should I run the power cables together or each in their own slot to reduce any magnetic effects? Thanks.

Simon Chaddock Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Glenn Genuine Deans Ultra plugs are rated at 100A so you should be ok. I doubt there will be problem running the power wires together but keep the servo wiring as far away as possible and of course the aerial!
