Customization of the radiobox for the installation of the Speed Passion Silver Arrow V 2.0 (ESC)
on to the Serpent 811 Cobra Be and Be 2.0, (Buggy 1 : 8, 4WD). The same may also apply to similar ESC / motor combo's.
techtip made by: Dalibor Valder cooperator of RC Car magazine from CZ.
During the installation of the speed controller I stumbled upon an issue with the routing of the sensor cable from the ESC to the motor. I have engineered a solution, which I would like to present to you through a series of photographs. For this customization I have made use of common workshop tools:
- Caliper 0 – 100 mm
- Electric drill and a 3mm drill bit
- Reamer for the lexan body
- File
- Cable ties
