G'day

Can you post a photo of the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC).

A "normal" brushless speed controller has the following connections -

1. A three wire connector like a servo connector which goes to the throttle channel on your receiver. The three wires are Signal (white or yellow or orange) and the two others are the power (red or brown for positive) and black for negative

2. There are two thick wires for connection to the battery. Usually Red for positive and Black for negative.

3. There are three thick wires to the motor - one for each phase. Connect them up any way and try them. If the motor runs in reverse, simply swap any two wires and it will be correct.

Most lower powered speed controllers also contain a Battery Elimination Circuit (BEC) which regulates the battery voltage down from, say, 11.1 volts to something under 6 volts for the receiver. The power to the receiver is delivered via the small three wire cable mentioned in #1 above. No additional battery for the receiver is needed.

BUT. Some higher powered ESCs do not include a BEC circuit and you do need to use a receiver battery. I would be surprised if you need to with this model.

Does this help at all?
