I am new to electric motors and such. The Thunder tiger Zero that I am assembling for a retired/disabled friend calls for an on/off switch. I was unable to obtain the exact Batt and ESC recommended by Thunder Tiger.
I was able to obtain an equivelant LI-Po batt by Flight power and an SS12 ESC from Electrifly.
According to the plane manual it shows the on/off switch having 2 wires from the ESC to the switch, 2 wires from the ESC to the reciever and 2 wires from the ESC to the BATT. The 2 wires from the ESC are a no brainer but there are 3 wires comming from the ESC that connect to the receiver, (Red Brown & Orange).
If I hook the ESC to the Trhottle on the Reciever the motor works fine. If I hook the switch between it won't work. The radio and receiver is a Spektrum DXi6 system bind and fly.
Do I or don't I need the on off switch and if yes, can anyone tell me where I screwed up on the wiring?
Thanks
