Need help with Mega 16/15/3 wiring
I picked up a used Mega 16/15/3 off a member here and need help determining which wire is what. In the users manual supplied by the seller, it indicated the motor should have a red, blue and white wire. The motor I have has 3 white wires. Can someone tell me which is which? This is my first electric setup and I have no friggin' clue what I'm doing[
]. I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!

ptgarcia: First I hope you have a brushless ESC. You will see it has 3 motor wires, color is not important.
Hook up the three ESC wires to the 3 white motor wires. Next apply power, if the motor runs in the correct
rotation ,thats good. If it runs in reverse, then reverse any 2 ESC wires with the 2 white wires and that will
reverse the rotation of the motor. LOL Bob

Thanks, Bob. Yes, I have a brushless controller (Castle Creations Phoenix 35), I did know that much
.So by connecting wires at random I'm not going to fry anything?

Nope..... they send power in phases...it is not a positive/negative thing
