spents vekta.5 lse build

I used heat shrink, I also didn't care for the wires being close to the pivot point on the trailing arm. I've had no issues.

i'm obsessed about trapped wires thats all , always takes me forever to sort the wiring side of things out, i'm never happy with how i run it ,
thanks for the reply mate,

I totally agree I don't like the wiring position. It bothered me a lot, but I love how the hilantronics has been performing. Very quiet and not a glitch whatsoever. When I shrink wrapped I used smaller tubing so the casing became very hard so I set everything into position then shrink wrapped it so it stays right in place. So far so good. And your welcome brother!. She's coming along very nicely. Good things take time

I've been really impressed with the hilly servos as well. Night and day difference from my savox and that junk hitech. No glitch, twitch, noise or anything out of it.

good to see the hilantronics are all behaving with everyone ,
right so this is what i've done , likesean did, up and behind the servo,
taped mine part way along and then run it through the side plate, also taped the side plate where the wire runs close,



so now it clears the pivot and still has an air gap between the wire and the side plate,



working out the rest of it now, where to put what and where to add foam etc ,

 

[Milo]

That’s way better

 

[spents]

That’s way better

yeh am a lot happier now wi it this way miles ,
so glad for the build threads on here cos have been going back and looking how others have done certain things on the vekta ,
makes it so much easier working some of the stuff out,

 

[spents]

lmao, more head scratching today with the wiring ,
glued some foam down in the bottom of the haric box, double sided taped the rx in like this below,



saw how tight the servo plugs were up against the battery,
so changed the rx to like this below,
gives a tad more room and it wont be squishing the servo wires and kill switch plug etc ,



then had a final connect up and check after i decided what was going in there,
extensions etc, also swapped the kill wire to come in from the rear instead of the side cos that gives more wiggle room an all ,



then when i was coming in from the workshop i spotted this little fella,
watched him get himself stuck in a corner behind some pots and hoses , cleared him a path and left him to it ,
went back and looked a couple mins later an he was gone ,
think he may have taken up residence under our deck,
