Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Chimera intended to be front‑wired of rear‑wired?
The Chimera is designed to support any wiring direction so long as there is enough room for the controller itself. The included battery wires (40cm) and motor wires (30cm) can be trimmed to any length prior to insertion into the Chimera's wire terminals.

Durability: mPPE insulation provides greater abrasion resistance than PVC and silicone, and are therefore less likely to be accidentally torn during installation.
Diameter: mPPE wires are as thin as teflon wires, which allows the included 16‑AWG mPPE wires to fit in gearboxes designed for the lower capacity 18‑AWG PVC wires.
Flexibility: Teflon wires are extremely stiff which can be inconvenient when attaching or removing batteries, whereas mPPE wires retain the same flexibility of PVC wires and thus remain easy to work with.
