ok. pulled the wrap off but i dont see a black wire. I see little connectors but no wire. I took a pic but i cant post it on here.

i see a litle red plug n a black plug. Is that the 1? the black plug thats a little further in than the red 1?

yeah that is it

so what is everyone else in here running? speed control? motor? cells?

thanx by the way coolhandcountry

i run a 10xl on 16 cells with a 9920.

have u ever tried the 9L? Is the 10 XL faster than the 9L?

i havent tried the 9l but i dont think it would be not to mention it would run ALOT hotter. i had a lehner xl3100 which is comparable to the 8l and it hot HOT. the 10xl on 14 cells runs about the same as the xl3100 on 12. so i think thats saying somthing...
