Gregg, what are you thinking about doing? Programming? Software Engineering, etc? I'm biased, and thankful that I went into Finance, but I'm just curious. If you ever want an IT job, let me know. The hours at my firm are demanding for IT personnel, but they pay them quite well.
Havent decided yet. I'm still at the point where they haven't branched off into separate classes. Right now programming and SE are all the same classes at this point.

I will take you up on that though. I figured at almost 36 I need to decide what I want to be when I grow up

I didn't put any shrink on the motor connections, but I did put some shrink on the posts. I know people say you shouldn't because of heat, etc; however I have not had any issues with heat (however, I have not run the ESC in the 105F Texas summer heat).

I am concerned about something shorting out across bare connections, so I'd prefer to shrink the motor connections, but I'm not as concerned about the motor connectors as I am the battery posts. I imagine that's why Tekin interlaced the motor wires with the battery wires on the ESC.
