Re: victors spikes and pwm cables

We had problems with the PWM cables making decent connections to the RC.

Hot glue? Ugh. I suppose that'd work, but only as a last resort. Just use a tiny bit (just enough to be able to slice with an exacto knife in the event of a problem).

Plugging the cables in was MUCH harder this year .. because IFI shipped em with those little plastic tabs where the cable plugs in. Its a simple fix with a small knife, but cutting into those little $120 blocks of plastic scares the crud out of me.
