Ok, so i have myself a XXX4, and a brushless going in it. I feel very blind with installation here. Its been YEARSSSSS since i've done electric. Anyway, im looking for installation tips, and advice. This is the Novak 6.5R system in the car. Here is how i am currently planning to install and position everything. You can see im planning to put the on/off switch right in front of that motor, which will be behind the Spektrum RX when its installed. Is there anything i should be cautious of? in regards to placement of wires. I am not worried about the heavier gauge wires laying on that motor, because their install already positions them there. So that must not be an issue. Anyway, heres my pic, have a look. Any help is appreciated.

Uh oh
You need to have the solder tabs facing the motor to be able to see the LEDS to set up, diagnose (sp?), and tweak the ESC
Since you have to have it like that make sure you can get the proper gear mesh... if you can't let me show you how once I get a pic of my XXX-S (On-Road XXX-4) as the saying goes... a picture says 1000 words...
Note: I am running a brushed motor

Thank you! Thats exactly the type of info i needed. Hows this layout look.


Anything else i need to know before taping this all in the car?

Doahh

might want to make the oarnge yellow and blue wires shorter by a few inches... that's it... also trim those battery wires to the shortest possible wi th a little slack

Cool, thanks again man! Im gonna go stick this stuff to the chassis, mount an RX, and i'll worry about the wires when i get the deans. Thank you!

Doahh

One question... Does the XXX-4 have a slipper?

jhautz

lol i thought that was a pic of my car at first. I just put the GTB in my xxx-4 and it rocks. I have my LEDs facing the chassie but i can still see them when they light up but I wish i would have known that before i got everything in.

Doahh

Moose you might want to have the solder tabs facing up... one rock and you could be 70 bucks behind
