So, I'll admit to 1551 being hot gluers... (We didn't realize it was a violation, had always passed inspection even at CMP, and will not be doing it in the future now that we realize it's illegal.)
In our experience, the pwm connections tend over time to jiggle free, even with strain relief. Once we started hot gluing, we never had another problem.
Given that this is a helpful hints thread, what do teams do to secure pwm connections on the sidecar and on speed controllers without using hot glue?
