Tidying up the wiring

I had installed a new ESC which comes with a capacitor and switch, and I stuck them all in with some servo tape, and cable ties for the wires.  The wiring was a bit long, so was coiled up and held in with cable ties.  The finished wiring wasn't very tidy so needed to be tidied up.

 

I decided to tidy it all up by shortening the wires using this kit :-

I also removed the sticky pads, and the glue it leaves behind and re-installed them using some clear silicone sealant which will keep everything in place without moving, and doesn't have a dirty sticky pad showing underneath.  I started by sticking the switch and capacitor in place using the silicone.

Check out the finished work :-

 

After a nights racing, the switch and capacitor remained securely in place.  The wiring may still be visible, mainly due to the multi-coloured wiring used by servo and ESC manufacturers, but at least the wires are short and relatively tidy. 

The receiver and ESC will be given the same silicone treatment.

Another car was given similar silicone treatment :-
