Electronics And Wiring

There is probably a tread for this already but given as I canâ‚¬â„¢t find it...

Is the following a suitable electronic set up? Currently I only use the receiver, BEC and batteries in the prototype, but it all needs upgrading to what in the schematic.

I know I am missing fuses, but I don't know where in the system they go!

Looks fine.

IF you want to use fuses to protect the controllers you will want one for each controller...this is usually by convention in the positive supply wire .

Thanks, I am so gald that it works!

And Because I would rather not cook the ESC's, I will add some fuses

Would just use one Elctronize switcher for the weapon, switching a big relay (or 2 relays, one for each), you'll blow the relays in the electonize trying to run the speed 900's through them.

Does anyone know of a good place (in the UK/online) to get a decent relay?

I've found a few 24v 60a + rated, but in the US or on supplier sites that only distribute.

By 'decent-relay' a solid state one comes to mind: http://www.jaycarelectronics.co.uk/prod ... rm=KEYWORD

Those ones still get sent from Australia, but the delivery cost is not too shabby as is delivery time. Definitely better to get a solid state relay than one with mechanical bits.

i have yet to blow one of those. One of the few electronic parts that has yet to go on me. Even handled a mini magmotor stalled for a number of seconds. Just mount it to some metal to act as a heatsink.
