Solder Wire or Deans to PDB?

Posted by Patricio on February 3, 2012 at 10:23am

I am finishing the setup of my Quad and I have seen that some directly solder the cables of the ESCs to the PDB while other use deans connectors on it. I would like to ask you for recommendation on what and what you are using.

Thanks

    I soldered them. Not like you're going to remove them often. (ever?)

    So long as you have a hot iron so you can do it quickly and not keep the area heated for a long time. The wires and PCB are great sinks.

    As for the ESC cables, solder them but leave the heatshrink un-shrunk until you have the motors going the correct way. Put a bit of insulation tape on as an interim measure.
