Very nicely done. Am I correct to say these terminals can be pushed on and off a loosened screw without the screw being removed? The terminals don't permanently spread wide do they?

Re: pic: Talon connected
 

Thanks!

You are correct, the terminals are designed to "snap fit" on a #6 stud. The speed controller connection screws are slightly smaller than that, so the terminals slide on/off easily when the screw is loosened, and they don't deform.

Could ring terminals be used or do the Talons possibly suffer from the same issue the tan Jaguars did with removal of the screws?

Re: pic: Talon connected
 

No, the talons do not have a problem with having the screws removed.

Does this all come in a kit?

Re: pic: Talon connected
 

It looks like there's an important difference between a Talon and a Victor. Victors have the (-) power input connection at the corner; Talons have the (+) connection there.

Re: pic: Talon connected
 

Yeah, same for the Jaguar.

Good observation. I'm having a tough time imagining why this would matter in any way other than them not being directly swappable in a built wiring harness. Is there any other reason this matters? I just want to make sure I'm not missing some important detail here.

It would matter because with both on a robot we'd need a new strategy for verifying the correct polarity of our speed controllers. "Check to make sure black is on the corner", isn't going to work very well.

For those of us who put our speed controllers next to the PDB, we won't have to cross the power lines.

Re: pic: Talon connected
 

I knew there was something I was missing. If we do put our speed controls next to the PDB, this seals the deal for me. Thanks.

Re: pic: Talon connected
 

Bingo.

Re: pic: Talon connected
 

For those who've already ordered Talons, do they come with mounting screws and/or spacers for the optional fans? (This is important for teams in the middle of nowhere like mine. :) )

Also, how deep are the threads? (i.e. how far down do they go?)
