Re: Fuse Panel Question

You can use either or both of the large or small black panels in your design. Some teams even choose not to use the large 40 amp block, using #14 and 30 amp breakers instead. It's up to you. However, my recommendation is to use the 40 amp breakers and #10 wire when feeding drive motors like the large or small Chalupas. Jim E has the right idea about feeding the RC power. If you have other high current motors on this panel, the RC breaker should be the first one closest to the power input stud.
