Materials

  • 2.5 sqmm flexible Muldental cable for the battery
  • 1.0 sqmm flexible Muldental cable for the charge plug

Cable from Power module to XT90 battery connector

  • Cut 285mm of the black 2.5 sqmm flexible Muldental cable
  • Cut 270mm of the red 2.5 sqmm flexible Muldental cable
  • Remove 10mm of the isolation at the board side
  • Remove 12mm of the isolation at the XT90 connector side
  • Twist and tin each cable end. Solder iron temperature 350°C.
  • Fix the board with the Schraubstock and hold the red cable with helping hand to the free rectangular solder area marked BatPlus.
  • Solder the cable to the board
  • Solder the black cable to the rectangular area in the BatMinus area
  • Add a XT90 plug to the XT90 connector to avoid mechanical damage during soldering
  • Place the XT90 connector in a vertical position such that the solder cups point straight up
  • Place the tinned cable close to the solder cup but not inside
  • Put a little bit of solder tin to the solder tip and heat the solder cup
  • Melt a little bit of solder tin with flux in the solder cup
  • Now place the cable in the solder cup and fill the solder cup with flux free solder tin

Cable from Power module to ESC

  • Cut 210mm of the red 2.5 sqmm Muldental cable
  • Cut 190mm of the black 2.5 sqmm Muldental cable
  • Cut the ESC power cable to a length of 30mm from the Elko capacitor
  • Remove 10mm of the isolation from the ESC cable and from both sides of the Muldental cable
  • Tin all open cable ends
  • Solder the red cable to the rectangular area in the PlusESC lane besides the MOSFET
  • Solder the black cable to the area in the MinusESC lane close to the MOSFET
  • Place the red ESC cable and the red Power cable from the Power module in a blue solder sleeve and hold both cables with a helping hand
  • Heat the solder sleeve with a Steiner HL 1910E on level 5-6 until the solder ring in the solder sleeve melts
  • Do the same for the black cable

Cable from ESC to Motor

  • Remove 5mm of the black, blue and red ESC cable to the motor to remove the prepared tin
  • Cut 3 x 130mm of the Muldental 2.5 sqmm cable
  • Remove 10mm of the isolation at the solder sleeve side on each cable (ESC and Muldental)
  • Remove 5mm of the isolation from the Muldental cable side which will be connected to the motor plugs
  • Tin all cable ends
  • Place the cables 10mm free ends in a blue solder sleeve and heat with HL 1910E at level 5-6 until the solder ring melts
  • Add a motor plug to the motor connector for mechanical protection
  • Install the motor connector with 45° in the Schraubstock such that you can see the small soldering hole
  • Hold the cable with the 5mm removed isolation with a helping hand in the solder cup
  • Solder with 350°C.
  • The motor connector will be protected with a shrinking tube with hot melt.
  • Cut 20mm of the shrinking tube and place the tube over the motor connector
  • Shrink the shrinking tube with the Steiner HL1910E with level 3

The cables of the Extron motor are: W, V, U (left to right, seen from back)
