RE: esc help please!!!!
The plug on the esc that looks like a servo connector goes to channel 3, the three wires out go to the motor, you may or may not want to use bullet connectors. That will leave you with two wires a red and a black, they go to the battery. If your motor runs backward reverse any two of the three wires. You will need a connector between the battery and the ESC so you can unplug the system to turn it off, and charge the battery. JST is probably the connector they gave you but not sure.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.

RE: esc help please!!!!
If using the stock motor, you need a male JST connector for the speed control. The motor has a female JST (red 2 pin) installed, right? Mine does.

RE: esc help please!!!!
I would do that....
is the ESC for the original brushed motor??
normally it is the plug the the RX, then the red and black to the battery (I prefer either micro deans or deans ultra connectors) and then the wires from the other end to the motor...
does the ESC have 2 wires or three??
