Step 6Connect the Wiring

Connect the Wiring
Now its time to connect the switch wires to the motor wires, battery wires, and power supply wires.

Be sure to slide heatshrink tubing on the wires and push it away from the joints prior to soldering them. Once the joint has been soldered and is cool, slide the heatshrink tubing over the joint and shrink it with your heat gun/lighter.

Push the switch through the hole you've created and connect the switch wires to the appropriate wires--battery box, power supply, and motor.

I stripped the wires back about 1/2" inch and then "hooked" them together. (see picture). Basically I bent the stripped ends into a "U" shape and connected the "U"'s together. I then soldered them together. Note the white heatshrink tubing on the red wire. Once the joint is soldered, that will be pulled down and shrinked over the joint.

You will need to do this for all six wires.
