Title: Extending ESC lead
Post by: Norman Castle on October 09, 2015, 04:02:55 pm

It would make me happy if I could mount my RX a bit further from the ESC than the standard lead allows, so the question is - would anything horrible happen if I used a 30cm servo extension lead which would bring the total length up to around 45cm?

Same here, but if you're running 27 or 40meg then it might be wise to use a ferrite ring on the esc wire
