Re: Neat & Organised Electric Wiring

I second the labels and the use of zipties. The best piece of advice I can give you is to plan before you wire everything. Layout everything before you do anything permanent. If it does not look neet when you do the layout then it isnt going to be neat when you finish, unless you do a lot of work. With the labeling deal, label everything.....the pwm cables, the wires going to the motors, and any other electronics and label them on both ends. This makes it much easier to swap out a controller or replace a broken victor or spike. Neat wiring also allows for quicker repairs so taking time to ziptie, label, and layout everything pays off at competition when that victor goes out or a pwm cable gets pulled loose.
