    Hi

    I am wondering the best/neatest spot to place my ESC's on a WKM cinestar flat 8? Keeping in mind I will later convert to X8 (if it makes any difference)

    I need to decide if I will run my wires inside or outside the booms. At the moment I am thinking outside for the ease of setup.

    Also any tips on a super neat wiring/component install?

    Thanks
    Sam

    One thing to keep in mind is it's best to keep the LiPo side of your wiring as short as possible, while the run from the ESC to the motors is not necessarily limited the same way in length. And make sure you braid your motor wires. Ideally, if you had heat concerns, you'd place the ESCs somewhere near the prop wash, but that doesn't seem to be practical unless you're willing to add capacitors to the ESCs to deal with the extra length of power supply wire.
