ericrw Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'm having difficulties in finding a "Y" lead to put bullet connectors on. I need it for my Twinstar to connect the two esc to the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depron Daz Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I've never seen them, so make your own.. Won't the ESC leads reach the battery and just solder to one set of bullets to save on soldered joints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 If you have some suitable wire, Eric (12 or 14SWG silicon-covered will be fine), it's easiest to make your own. Just solder extensions from the ESC leads and make them long enough to reach a point where you can solder them in pairs to the bullets which will connect to your battery pack. However, keep them as short as possible - I've not had any problems with extending ESC to battery wire length up to about 12" - but there can be problems with high voltage spikes affecting the ESC. Have a read of this thread. It is generally better to extend the wires from the motor to the ESC. Never having had a Twinstar I'm not sure of the dimensions involved - just make sure that the ESC's get some airflow for cooling.
