How to Extend ESC Wires Correctly preventing Damage

In the video we state 460μF for every 4 inches of wire used. This is a very conservative value. As little as 220μF can be used for every 4 inches of wire extension used. (A connector moved 2 inches from the ESC contains 2 inches of negative wire and 2 inches of positive wire - The total wire extension is 4 inches) • Extending the battery input wires to your ESC can destroy the ESC. Here is a solution that will prolong the life of your ESC and prevent catastrophic damage that could remove an RC vehicle from your fleet. Now it is important to cover that the damage to your ESC is not something that happens instantly the moment that you extend the wires and plug a battery in. Damage to your ESC happens over time and accumulates. You will never know when the capacitors of your ESC are exhausted and short on life. This is what makes it very important to correct. • Adding a capacitor bank similar to the one pictured can save your ESC.Capacitors can be purchased in smaller capacities and then wired in parallel in order to achieve the required level of capacitance. It is also recommended to use smaller capacitors to form a larger amount of capacitance then using a larger capacitor. • If you plan on extending the wires of your ESC on the battery input side and you have no other choice, add a capacitor bank as close as possible to your ESC. Having the extra capacitance there will reduce the load on the capacitors built in to your ESC, reducing their load. • #rc #radiocontrolinfo #capacitors
