Paul Bromley Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Hi I have probably a silly question, I need to extend the three wires (windings) coming out of my motor a short distance to be able to position the esc. The motor is an align BL730 MX 42/30 960kv (550 heli). The three winding wires are not huge off the motor , my question is what gauge silicon wire should I extend them with ? in other words does each wire have to be capable of carrying the supposed maximum current or is it split in some way ? Thanks Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Walby Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Just make the new wires the same or slightly larger cross sectional area (size) than existing. Not an issues over a short distance. My Vulcan pusher ones are a couple of foot long with no noticeable loss of performance .. still flies like a manhole cover! PS I would solder and heat shrink all connections to reduce any connection issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
