1 - how do I know which color wires from the motor go into which ESC blue wires? (does it matter?)
2- i assume the red and black from the ESC go into the battery… but what the heck are those other two connectors?
3- What is a good Remote to get, and how do I connect it to this situation?
4- what is the spare wire on the battery? I’m assuming a charger connector?
5- how do you find / where do you buy electrical connectors for these wires?
Plz talk to me as though I’m smart but clueless about this stuff…
Doesn’t matter, you can change the motor spinning direction with exchanging 2 wires
correct, the other two are probably for powering the esc and to connect the remote should be declared in the esc datasheet
check out the maytech one its pretty good, you can also support a guy here on the forum he developped his own remote with cool features, check New waterproof remote (Vincent’s build)
the white connector on the battery is to observe every cell while charging or to put a beeper while using it so you know when its empty
which one you mean ? google XT90, gold connector maybe this already helps
There are 2 different kinds of ESC’s some have BEC (battery eleminator circuit) and others don’t, I don’t know your specific one but the 2 cables indicate it doesn’t have it and you need to supply extra 5V to it and have the same ground potential, best check the specs of your ESC.
Yes, I really should read the f’ing manual!!! Sorry. Once i ordered the motor from China i assumed i’d be doing everything without manuals, but low and behold, there is one for the ESC!
in this case you really shoul read it! ^^ it can be dangerous and things can blow up if you do something wrong! you probably also find some helpful youtube videos!
