My vxl speedo died, picked up the sidewinder and need to know how the 3 wires are to be connected. I already have the adapters, i need to know what color wires from the motor go to what color wires from speedo. Thanks

It doesn't matter. hook them up, if it goes in reverse when you hit forward then switch any two wires and you will be good to go.

castle is 4mm, female on esc side
vxl is 3.5 mm
I belive this adapter would work http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXPHD9&P=ML

its caled a soldering iron, its a universal adaptor. change the plugs on the motor, castle's warrenty is very good and you wouldn't want to void it...

ftt4maniac

You are correct kisner, and those are the adapters i have.
