pack connection) to desired length and strip about 1/4" of
insulation off the end. Solder to positive tab of motor.
9. USING PLUGS FOR BATTERY & MOTOR CONNECTION
High-quality/low-resistance connector plugs, such as Dean's
Ultra Plugs, can also be used to connect the motor and battery
pack. Be sure to use connectors that can not be connected
backwards, as this will damage the speed control.
NOTE: It is good practice to use a female connector on the main
battery pack to keep the pack from shorting if the connector
touches a conductive surface.
If you plan to use connector plugs for both the battery pack
and the motor, use a male connector on the ESC wires going
to the battery pack and a female connector on the wires going
to the motor. By doing this, you will avoid plugging the battery
pack into the motor output of the ESC by mistake.
PERFORMANCE TIP: For improved radio
performance, try twisting the BLUE & RED
motor wires one or two times as they go from
the speed control to the motor. This can help
reduce any radio noise that may be emitted
from the power wires.
