They will be heat shrunk in a later step. Slide them down along the wires, towards the VESC’s circuitry. Slip a piece of cut heatshrink (from the previous step) onto each of the VESC’s battery wires. The length of each piece should be approximately 1 cm longer than the length of the solderless wire connector. Use the scissors to cut two pieces of black 1/4' heat shrink.

Use the wire stripper to remove 1 cm of insulation from each of the VESC’s battery wires and each of the battery connector’s wires. If the VESC’s battery wires are already tinned with solder, use the wire cutter to remove the tinned segments such that the individual wire strands are not soldered together.

2x Solderless Wire Connectors (Heat Shrink Butt Connector).

The addition of this connector will be detailed in the following steps. However, a connector for interfacing with the battery must be added to the VESC. We assume that the VESC is already outfitted with 4mm bullet connectors for interfacing with the BLDC motor. Note that one end of the VESC connects to the BLDC motor, while the other end connects to the 5000 mAH NiMH battery. In this section, we will prepare the VESC’s connectors for installation. If you would like to modify the logo on the sides of the robot, follow these instructions to generate new. All of the parts that must be printed are provided as. The upper portion of the MuSHR Racecar’s frame is 3D printed. The bill of materials below describes the necesssary materials for building the MuSHR Racecar, including links to vendors.

In this section, we will provide resources for obtaining the parts necessary to build the MuSHR Racecar. You can watch the MuSHR Racecar being built here. For each section, we recommend reading through each of the section’s steps before attempting it. This page provides instructions for building the MuSHR Racecar.
