Hp05s help

Haven't tried any wiring yet connecting my motor to the esc yet the motor I order didn't come with the 3 pin plug so my question is how do you tell what wire is which or does it not matter?

[snackdaddy185]

Just solder the wires to the esc and if the motor spins in the wrong direction just switch any two wires.

[Mr dan]

doesnt matter. Once you solder them to the ESC, give it a test, you want the motor to spin CW, if it doesnt,just swap 2 of the wires on the ESC amd your good to go. do the test spool with just the motor , not installed to the frame yet. Because its so freak'n fast you may have a hard time seeing which way the gear is spinning, a great way to verify is to take a piece of paper strip and hold it to the gear a cw spin will make the paper filp up away from the gear , ccw will make the paper flip down.

That's a cool trick mr Dan.

Does the CC ESC work with a 1s pack---I don't recall of the top of my head, even though I have both a Phoenix 10 and a Thunderbird 8 (or something close to 8).

Phoenix 10 is 2-4 as far as I can see http://www.castlecreations.com/products/phoenix-10.html, the XP-7A should do you and the XP-12A works as well (I had a hard time finding XP-7A’s so got the 12A), also the Helimax 10 seems to be used a lot.

Well I ended up grabbing the last 3 xp7a esc at one of the hobby shops I go to only $9.99cnd they were on sale and the last lol. Also order a plug n play esc/convertor from rchelicanada for 28 so will see how she works when I get here
