Re: PWM cables: too fragile? what fixes/precautions?
Our pwm cables never failed us. The little burs on the side of the pwm insert on the victors are for keeping the pwm cables inside so it doesn't move. If you give the cable some wiggle room and keep it out of moving parts, the cable should be fine.
But when pwm cables do come out, its NOT a good thing, because those wires are live and if it touches metal, you're creating a short that goes right back to the RC, which is terrible. A fried RC is about as bad as it gets electronics-wise.
