reach your screwdriver antenna. Use quality insulated wire for these extensions.

The motor control wires should be no smaller than 18 AWG. the sensor wires

should be no smaller than 24 AWG.

wire to add additional length.

(station) ground.

If the supplied red and black wires are not long enough,

Use 16 AWG wire to add additional length.
