Actually physically wiring/soldering in BEC w/ ESC?

[dsevern]

Anybody have any pictures/suggestions on wiring in the Castle BEC 2.0 in with a Phoenix Edge 50?

I know the power wires of the 2 need to be connected, but I'd like to see/know how you actually did it?

I wanted to use XT60 connectors but the power wires from the ESC pretty much fill the entire hole in the connector. If I twist the 2 wires together they won't fit in the bullet for an XT60. I'd prefer to not have to step up to an XT90 connector as space is pretty tight in the canopy of my 450L Dominator.

I'd like to make the installation as clean as possible, so I'm looking for pics/suggestions.

Thanks, in advance!

Not the Castle BEC but here is what I have done. Stripped the leads from the ESC and soldered on the BEC leads. Tidy setup.

I have done the above as well. Works great.

Probably the best way when using 2 different size gauge wires.

I did the same as well except that I soldered an XT60 in between the BEC and the ESC connector so that I can also power it with my 3S batteries when testing the electronics.

I just splice a wire into the leads from the ESC and solder/heatshrink them. I add a bullet connector to the other end as well as the BEC so that it can be disconnected for mounting and is not permanently wired to the ESC. This makes for a clean installation and I can also connect a battery directly to the BEC for programming the FBL.
