GATO! (It has begun)

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Guys, are we sure this is correct? Reason why i'm asking is that when i take my volt meter to just my battery (black end to the black end of the battery and red to red) i get 11.1 volts like normal.....but after i plug the battery in and test on the female end right before i connect to all of my components (like the ESC, LIPO, etc) i have to match my volt meter's black to the RED and and volt meter's red to the BLACK end of the dean connector......i'm scared to plug this in lol....did i f*ck somthing up in my initial drawing?

Thanks,

Do it like this:

Thanks trout, taking Davids advice on just gettingthe normal wiring done first. But as i build out the tower and the rest of the sub what areas do/should i precut out to make room for lightining on the sub. Refering to the lights you had done on your gato Trout

[matthewnimmo]

Thanks everyone for the radio info. Im sure ill have more questions (hopefully this weekend) about the radio system and what i need to do to configure it appropriately for the gato

any response on the fuse size i need for my gato wiring 5, 10 amps?

[greenman407]

Why does it show such a short antenna wire?

[crazygary]

Sorry, in advance, but this is a bit "off topic", however it does deal with the WFly 6-channel receiver!

Not to jump too far ahead, but when you have multiple subs, you can kick it up a notch by adding a crystal-less module

The Futaba is nice because you can change the frequency with out removing the module. The Hitec has the settings on the side.
