RE: Newbie Needs Help
It'll help to have everything in front of you so you can see how it fits together.
The servos plug into the recever, as does the control cable for the speed control (ESC).
Between the motor and ESC, you typically use bullet connectors. They come in various sizes, depending on how large the wires are on the ESC and motor.
Between the battery and ESC, there are a few choices. For smaller applications, under 10 Amps or so, Deans Micro Polarized connectors are very popular. Deans Ultra connectors are popular for larger applications, up to around 50 Amps. Another popular choice are Anderson Power Poles, also known as Sermos connectors. The 15, 25 and 45 Amp sizes are typically used.

Answer to a question you will ask in the foreseeable future, about reversing rotation of a brushles motor:
Switch any two of the three motor wires to reverse rotation. This applies to all sensorless brushless motors. But *NEVER* *EVER* switch the battery wires to reverse rotation, this will fry your controller. This goes for ALL controllers and everything electronic in general.

Connector test and numbers, in German techno-geek-speak, which is pretty much the same as English techno-geek-speak We all can read numbers, can’t we? ïŠ
