xl5 esc on clod buster
Hi, can someone please point me in the right direction on how to wire the motors to the xl5? They are just the original silver cans.
Thanks.
Thanks.

RE: xl5 esc on clod buster
Thanks Scottgir. I won some goodies for the clod from Ebay, some lower link mounts, axle stiffeners and 14mm adapters. Gonna use some traxxas steering links to do the 4 link mod. Keeping the original steering setup for now but upgrade the servo to a mg995. Will try and post some pics soon, if i can figure it out how to do it, lol. 1st time on forums, well been reading a lot but first proper post.

RE: xl5 esc on clod buster
Thanks Mad Modder, I picked it up alongside a m03 mini cooper xb for a grand total of £50, lol. The mini was a bit bashed but fully functional, the clod was as new condition. Lucky me i guess, lol. Also have a Hummer M1025, locked front diff swapped to rear, 55T motor and a Ansmann 17T esc. I need to make a custom chassis to increase ground clearance. But thats for another thread. First want to do the Clod up. Always wanted 1 of this since i was a kid, but couldnt afford it, lol.
