Is the a good (and legal) way to keep the pwm's in the jaguars. Ours keep falling out. Electrical tape?

In 2010 we used electrical tape to hold our pwm cables in their respective jaguars. The tape still holds even now. I think some teams have mentioned gluing their pwms in.

its da PAT!!!

We hot glue all the PWM wire down to jags, victors, and spikes. For good measure.

There are wire clips built into the Jaguars, just in front of the connectors.

So how do I work them. I push my pwm's in and they fall easily.

+1 To the wire clips. They really work well and they're already there. And they're not nearly as permanent as hot glue. And the provide strain relief as well, which is neqarly as important.

See the little hook thing on the front edge of the Jag, just in front of the PWM connector? Push iin your PWM connector, then slide the wire under the hook and pull it till it's very slightly taut and pulling down your PWM.

A,
If you can, use a wire tie to secure the PWM cable close to the base of the controller. As such it is pulled tight by the wire and can't pull out. The Jaguar provides this for you. Simply slip the PWM cable into the wire holder on the front edge.
