For this month's TOTM let's have a discussion of electrical considerations on a race vehicle (this information will still apply to a prerunner or toy so I think it's a valid topic ). I'll start with some suggestions of topics to discuss that I have been wondering about, and a question. Feel free to ask more questions, suggest more topics, or add to the discussion as you all see fit.
These are things I would like to know more about:
-special considerations for wire connections
-getting hot leads through metal reliably
-switches (brands, metal vs plastic, etc)
-gauge wiring (new leads vs tapping into the stock harness)
And my question:
I've heard repeatedly that relays have no place in a go fast type rig, and that they are prone to failure from vibration or shock from hard hits. Is this true?
