Florida Build - PM Based

Finding waterproof connectors that allow you to attach/detach the wires between the ESC and motor presented more of a puzzle that I might have expected. I did extensive searches online and even shelled out $32 for an EV connector which is back-ordered until the end of the year. I gave a lot of thought to designing one from scratch. But then I hit upon this super-easy off-the-shelf solution that is readily available on Amazon. It consists of a small waterproof shell and a shielded banana plug that fits inside. Together they make a easy to assemble and use solution - one for each of the three motor wires. Tested underwater without any leakage for three hours. Field tested as well. Note the shell comes with a small wire connector inside which I discard and use the banana plugs instead.
