Default INSTAILING ELECTRICS INTO MINE AND MY SONS BUGGIES

Hi All,

this may sound a little daft me asking this but i just need a bit of advise.

myself and my son both have cat k1 areos,brand new and we built them to so know a bit about them as im gernerally pit mum to my son so i do all the maintance and fixing of buggies if break.

This however is the first time i will be doing an instail of the electrics in which are all brand new as well.

Im just wondering is there any paciffic way to do this or can it be a case of generally just fitting it all in nicely on the chassis ?
the motors are in place and are meshed up nicely its just the rest to sort out before i start racing again with my son again.

i shall worry about setting batteries up to my new chargers at a later date (there all in storage mode at the mo so good for now)

any help and advise would be very much appreciated

thanks

Jay.

Usually it is a little bit of "try a few options and see what fits".
Obviously the motor and servo have to go in certain location and batteries don't have many options so place them where they have to go and then see what space is left. Your ESC will take the next largest space so place that and then whatever is left can be for switch, capacitors, PT etc.
Once you are happy you can then fix them in place.

Some folks will go to the extent of putting car on corner scales to ensure weight distribution, but generally as long as you don't have everything on one side, this isn't an issue.

Finally, if you still aren't sure, try googling "cat k1 aero wiring" and select images - that will show you lots of examples of how others have done it

Oh yes. I forgot the receiver

Never done micros but I see no reason why not?

Micros are easier as there is so little room everything can only go in one place.

if you buy the 1300MaH short batteries for a micro (mini8, EMB or GTB) you can get everything on the chassis and don't have to worry about the top deck

Im running the gtb belt drives

i agree these are a lot easier to put the electrics into as ive done two of them now just need to rebuild the third one and then re do the electrics in it much simpler thank goodness.
