Show us your battery bays!

If it's any help, in Drumroll I have this:

If you crimp ring connectors on to each wire, you can connect positive to one bolt and negative to the other. From there, you just bolt on each component that needs power (drive escs, weapon escs, LED etc). You just need to take care that there is no possibility of something shorting out the bolts and wrecking your battery and/or robot.

Not sure how Dave does it though I'm keen to see; was looking at the pic of 720 above thinking 'man, that really is a compact robot, no space for anything else'

Then I noticed that was without​ a drive motor!

Each component is on its own deans connector, that way there’s no messing about if a component needs to be swapped out, then there’s a main loom to the robot.. basically it’s all on deans and every dean apart from the last one has 2 wires soldered to each tab… for example if you need to get power to two botbitz escs each on its own deans connector.. I would have a positive supply to the first connector, then of the same tab, another wire going out to the second deans connector for the second esc…. So pretty much all the components are daisy chained up. It’s the way I’ve always wired things up, and I’ve never had a problem.

Apart from the main supply to the brushless esc which runs its own supply direct from the link.

And yeah its pretty tight... Hopefully ill have a flip switch for next year... dont know where im going to put it yet..this is the view of whats under the foam below the lipo lol;
