Correct motor wire connections for Lama

[mnwizard]

The A and B motors are identical except for the placement of the pinions, so you can use either one in either position as long as the pinions and wires are properly placed..

In the stock factory set-up, the rear motor has the pinion right on the outer end of the motor shaft and it drives the gear for the inner shaft. The wires from the rear motor plug into the top position on the left side of the 4 in one, with the side of the connector that has the visible metal strips faceing in, toward the 4 in 1.

The front motor has the pinion pushed down the shaft so that it's close to the motor. It drives the gear for the inner shaft. The wires from the front motor plug into the bottom position on the 4 in 1 and the side of the connector with the visible metal strips faces out, away from the 4 in one, which is the opposite of the top connector.

When set up like this, the top rotors spin counter clockwise and the bottom rotors spin clockwise. Don't forget to make sure the blades are installed facing the correct direction.

Hello Wizard man , Great Post , good stuff .Hope you dont mind me making a comment on something that happened to me .http://www.helifreak.com/images/icons/icon11.gif.Just warning people ,please be careful . I got caught out using metallic strips as a guide ,when i was younger grasshopper . Wasn,t motor wiring to 4in 1 .........Was 4in1 too battery wiring . I got complacent with how to insert wiring mettalic face in too battery etc .Between my models . Well wouldn,t you know it , blew two 4in is ,smoke yuck ..mmm .. Yes one i was complacent with / flyin the most , had been crimped wrong way in factory .So ever since ,I look red to red , black to black , for battery plug in to 4in 1
Ps ...Just like too say , as for my mistrust metalic sides , Rule of thumb for me , Black wires both to the centre of 4in1 unit easiest . Perhaps fool prove way . Cya http://www.helifreak.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
