Thread: is it ok like this?

i just finished the antistatic mod, see pic and please tell me if it's ok, i done from the negative to boom and boom to tail.


o the screw boom to tail, i put i small drop of tread-lock, because it was loose, i guess due the boom made of carbon, i hope is it ok?

The tail gear box is fine, but i connect mine at the front from the tail to the motor mount, also make sure you remove any anodising from the boom before screwing to it.

I wouldn't earth to esc power, mines earthed to the motor mount

i read it can be earth on the negative from the esc too, anyone can confirm that?

Don't know to be honest but most posts I read said best to earth to motor mount

Dan

ok, how about the tread lock on the screw, is it ok? i scratched a bit around the hole on the boom?

PS. i opened a tread on HF to see what they say about using the negative to earth

pic 2 you have it connected through the boom clamp, i personally wouldnt put it there, thats why i had a problem with mine. Not enough contact with boom as its going through plastic boom clamp. Best to put it directly in the boom at the point it exits the clamp, and as others have said put it in the motor mount rather than the negative.

Best to earth to the motor mount.

If the boom clamp pin conducts now it should be good to go, it's how I'll be converting mine soon as Mikado are now recommending that the Logo boom is pinned. Saves you having to drill two holes in the tail boom too.

Always check conductivity between the tail shaft and the motor shaft - it should conduct.

My 500 boom's been pinned for a long time through that hole, no chance of slipage. When i had anti static on mine i went from the boom (just behind the frame) to the motor mount & from the motor mount to the esc neg. This at the time was the recomended way as per HF & on here from Tosh (never met him but never forgotten) & ivorbiggin etc but now it's not recomended to come off the esc neg. However i had no issues with it like this & nor have i since i ditched it all.
