Upgrading my 700N

[jiminator]

If you are going to use a wiring adapter to connect your gov sensor to the Ikon this is what to look for. It already has the + and - wires swapped. I'm going to use this to get my setup done then crimp on a servo plug. Probably other sources for an adapter but this is the one I found.

Thank you so much for this, saves me the trouble finding one.

All my nitros just run a straight receiver pack.

can you please share pictures of your set up? I want to see a nitro running a straight receiver pack also what are igniter are you using for your nitro?

Sure, I think you can see just about everything in this pic. Vbar is on top of the ignitor - protek truglow. Not sure they make that currently, I heard they had some supplier issues. The black box you can see in the round cutout is the spartan power bus - it has 2 servo leads coming out of it and into the vbar. Other side of the box has 2 servo ports and the wires I plug the 2s lipo into. Wiring is kinda messy but it gets the job done.

When I have a battery on it I use the velcro hanging off the front to hold the plugs in place and keep the wires from flopping everywhere.

My N7s have a similar setup, just with a vbar neo instead.

This is my 700n that's been slowly updated after each crash. I now run an fl head the same as the 700x. I run direct 2s into my vbar and switch glo pro.

You may notice I currently have 3 lines coming from my battery, 2 directly into the vbar and the third one directly powering the switch glo, this was just an old harness from a previous wiring job when I had a seperate receiver onboard. This set up is about to change though because of my last incident, evidence can been seen in the pics! I am now going to install a pin flag switch (http://www.boomarc.com/en/hidden-bal...-with-pin-flag) so the main battery terminal is secured for the day and not being plugged and unplugged after each flight. With this switch I will be running both feed lines to vbar and plugging the switch glo power back into the vbar as well, much neater setup.

Hope this helps.
