Mount it using double-sided tape or zip ties. Plug the wire into the RX and that is the only one that plugs into the RX.

ok it says to plug in to ch2 so that will all so power the rx and give the esc singal

"Ch. 1 to turn, Ch. 2 to burn"

What that means is your steering servo gets plugged into Channel 1 of the reciever (Rx) and the ESC gets plugged into Channel 2 of the reciever (Rx).

The power comes from the 2 wires that will need to be soldered on and connected to the battery. On the opposite side, there are 3 places for the motor to be connected to.

Ok i am sorry that i am not getting this so the power will come from the battery but that will be to much i don't want to burn up the rx

LewAshby

The ESC (Mamba in this case) will power the receiver (Rx) without burning it up because it has - in simple terms - circuity to prevent that from happening.

If you look at the above picture to follow along, it will become easy enough for you to understand.

The 3 thick wires on the left side (Black, Red, White) are attached to the motor. As long as you hook it up like the picture (or according to the instructions), that will not be a problem.

The 2 thick wires on the right side (Black, Red) are hooked up directly to the battery (not shown in picture). Just make sure Red to Red, Black to Black and there will not be a problem.

The receiver plug (black thing attached to thin wires) goes into Ch. 2 of the receiver (Rx).

the battery power is regulated not to burn up the rx
, dont worry

The esc supplies the power for the receiver and servo, plug it in to channel 2 and make sure the polarity is right when you plug it in as it will go in either way. The brown wire is the ground on the esc plug so if your servo wires are red/white/black the brown wire will be in line with the black wire.

thanks so much for the help i guess what is messing me up is on the rx mine is a spectrum 3100 it has a batt,str ,thr and a aux in my nitro car i am not using the aux and i use a small hump pack to power the rx what will i plug in to the rx batt to power it (i feell like a dumb azz)

LewAshby

STR = Channel 1
THR = Channel 2
A AUX = Channel 3

BATT = Battery

I tend to break down stuff I don't understand into smaller, more basic line of thinking (sort of the same way math is set up) and then take small steps from there until I understand the whole problem at hand.

mfroot

Ok i got all of that and its a help but where is the power going to come from if i don't use the hump pack the small wire out of the esc is for channel 2 and there is no other wires that will plug into the rx batt spot.

powerslider

The power is supplied to the receiver in the esc plug middle wire, you don't need to plug anything into the battery or aux port on the receiver...

mfroot

ok got it thanks for all the help and sorry for being slow.

powerslider

Not a problem, there's a lot to learn when starting with these new systems. Have fun...

i am sure i will need a lot of help i did not know going from nitro would be so different.But thanks so much for all the help you guys make it better.

ok i am getting ready to hook things up and there was i pic on this thread i was going to go by and its gone {rant} where did it go
