Re: Fork Connectors

Cody,
The design of the Victor and the power input to the RC can cause problems with fork connectors if they are not checked by your electrical pit crew on a regular basis. Often, over tightening the mounting screw will spread the forks and cause the distance between adjacent connectors to shrink. We use a push on adapter that is designed with a screw hole at one end and a push on at the other end. This way, damaged components can be replaced without tools and electrical check time is vastly reduced.
