Here's a few photos of how I hook up a BEC to my speed controllers. This is what I've done recently for my Bionic. The reason why I splice onto the ESC battery leads instead of soldering directly to the connector is that I prefer to have the thin ESC power lead in a more protected area where it is not handled every time the battery is connected. Also, in every case the lead was not long enough to reach any further. The work done in the photo on the right was started only after a careful mockup in the heli to get the wiring the correct length and also make sure that it can be installed and removed as a single unit. |

I carefully stripped a section
of each wire and then worked the tip of an awl
through the wire to make a "receptacle" for the
smaller wire. After the wire was inserted, the two
wires wer held tightly just to the left of the
joint and then the stranded part was given a twist
to mechanically secure the wire. The joints have been
soldered. Heat shrink has been applied
here. Afterwards I added another piece, slightly
longer. Here's a closeup of the
Kontronik ferrite ring, Mikado part number
