Victors, however, can be tricky. The way it's assembled, it's pretty easy to insert the PWM into the housing and miss the actual connector on the circuit board. Thus removing and inserting it several times until it magically works!
Same here, we didn't have any trouble with KOP PWM cables this year. But regular hobby (R/C) male ends didn't fit too well into victor 888s or talons. I remember "adjusting" the hole with a big screwdriver to make it a little bigger and that seemed to fix the problem. But having a tight fit isn't a bad thing either when ramming or getting rammed by other robots.
