I guess this works...

Post by Typicray@rainmans »

I was looking through some old school electronics to use in my frog and found a rather strange way of protecting an esc. Look at the red battery wire.

Okay, that is very cool! I am a seven year racer, but have never really known anything about vintage cars. Guess you learn something new every day.

I don't even think it was a mod, those old Novak ESCs came with the fuse included and instructions how to solder it in.

Not as elegant as an in-line fuse holder, but it worked well and the flats made them dead-simple to solder.
