Findley / E5 My First Synergy

[Greg J]

It's here! Getting started this weekend. 

I have to say thanks to all that have contributed to this site.

I learned about the different setups the E5 is capable of.  I learned about gearing and motors and esc's and
servos and wiring and-and- and.  I could go on.  Heck, I've seen one built, Great job Chris. 

Don't want to forget the page that list just about everything you need to build one was ASOME.  I use it, thanks RichL.

You can never go wrong with a blue box with the name synergy on it!

[Greg J]

I have two questions.

Spark arrestor or not?  And install series connection at the ESC, or build a "Y" for 12s setup?

Build is going VERY WELL.  I really enjoy the quality. 

Thanks
Greg

I have never used one but the Kosmik I just installed has one built in.  Kind of nice actually.  I don't think I would bother installing one though.  My two cents...

Cheers

My preference is to build the series battery connection right into the ESC wiring.  I started off with a Y-adapter but there were a couple of times that I left it at home and didn't discover it until I went to plug in the batteries at the field.  I hate having to make a trip back home for stupid stuff like that.

[flyalan]

Meant to respond to that portion of the question also.
I am with Rodney. Started off using Y's but went to just wiring it at the ESC. To me it's just much neater and less bulky.

Cheers

Thanks,
I built a Y connector and it just seemed that it would be allot clutter under the hood. I'll series the esc.

Here's the progress
