A couple photos to update you guys on the build. I Received a new ESC from Rotorgeeks in a very timely manner and finished soldering all the motors directly to the ESCs. The pads on the ESC are all different distances from the motor so the wires have to be cut accordingly.
After finishing up the ESCs I worked on the power harness. I am not using a PDB so I am just soldering all the wires together using a technique similar to that in the
Thick Gauge Wire Soldering Tip episode. I used 12AWG wire for the main battery connection and it is just slightly thicker than the distance between the bottom plates of the ZMR. I'll either add a thin rubber pad on the arms to increase this distance or try to squash down to size.
So far the dimensions of the ZMR aren't too great. I had to do some small drilling to get two of the arms to fit because the holes were drilled slightly off. I've also notices that the holes in the arm for the motor mount screws are slightly too small for the screws that come with the Cobras.
