Sensor wire and plasti dip
 

I have had 3 sensor wires go bad. Where one of the wires comes out and it's to small to be soddered so I buy a new one. I just got a nice Eco power braided one. I'm just wondering if I could plasti dip the end of the sensor wire. Not the whole thing just where the wire becomes uncovered and goes into the board.. Obviously I can't do the whole end because it will the holes and won't read properly but what about rite up till the end of the wire that goes into the board where it's not covered with the braided tubing?

You could also try a non-conductive silicone if there is such a thing to hold those little wires better....

It's pricey, but if you're going through sensor wires quickly, it may worth exploring.

Plasti dip, shoe-goo, whatever you want that stays slightly flexible would work as a strain relief. Just dont get it on the part of the plug where the contacts are and you will be fine. I have even used hot glue for things like this before.

Why have you had 3 sensor wires go bad?

Wondering the same thing. Must have the ESC hanging out the back door while driving! :)

donny id add to that rear motor cover.. and as said yes the plastic dip will work...use some masking tape to cover the plug that goes into the socket and dip the entire thing

In general common cured silicone rubber is non-conductive, a good electrical insulator. For example the good flexible RC wiring has silicone insulation, high voltage powerlines are commonly suspended by silicone insulators, etc.

But be careful, if I remember correctly some RTV (room temperature vulcanization) silicones give off acetic acid while curing, which can corrode copper and solder joints. I think the RTVs sold at auto parts stores marked as sensor safe avoid this issue. Hardware store RTVs, look for electrical connections on the label.

Good to know...

In the auto dept at Walmart they carry a "liquid electrical tape". Its black and flexible. Have used it on my sensor wire and when doing the wiring for car stereo. sticks good

Just one of the lil plugs that go into the board gets cut or somehow plulls out, maybe a cheat sensor cable.. I dunno sure. I put sure plasti dip around it to see if it helps. Could just be from bad crashes or me pulling it out the wrong way

Get a sensor wire clip to hold it in place.

Thanks def going to get one of them

Do u have a link for it? Can't find it on a main
