Dealing with Short Motor Cables After Upgrading to Walksnail System
Hi all
Upgrading my draknight rtf from Hglrc to walksnail system, removed the motor plug for more space. Now the problem is the motor cable is too short, it can be solder but it seems risky as it will lift up. Any suggestion for dealing such a pain?
Should I replace the cable, or extend it by soldering other cable on it?

I would extend it. If you have some, heatshrink it and make sure nothing is crossed. If you don't... you probably need some. Why did you remove the motor plugs anyway? Does the WS 1s not fit?

@LouisXVIII Thanks for you suggestion, I think i might go your route, seems easiest. Reasons for removing the plug, I wanted to make the aio lower for room to install ws 1s, I could put spacer (for the aluminum frame) to make more room, I have seen lots of ws 1s built thay way, I prefer a lower profile though. Another reason for that is motor plug is rather loose, everytime i crash it unplug it self. I did put t7000 glue on the plug, which kinda work but it doesn't look nice.

No experience with soldering/extending wires so I can't help you sadly.
Out of curiosity, which WS cam/vtx are you going to use?

@EpicPieFlavour probably walksnail 1s. Was thinking HD nano V3 but the heatsink is too tall. Thanks for asking.

It won’t hurt to extend them. Just heat shrink each wire individually. An go rip. I do it to mine too. You can get cool colored wired from the catalog here. Js.

@Quad_Jake Yeah easiest way it seems. I already extended mine with heat shrink, seems work at the monent. One wire came off completely when striping, found out wires are solder unerneath the pcb not on top, so if the extention breaks when crashing, I can replace the whole wire without taking the motor apart. Good news. Great demo photo anyway thank you!
