[lambchops]

My tekin motor turned up this morning but has no instrucitons for connecting it.. On the motor just says abc which is the + - etc on these? There is no instructions..

Thanks

what esc are u using? If you are using the new Tekin esc RX8, then you MUST connect A to A, B to B and C to C from the motor to the esc. If you are using a MMM or like esc, then it doesn't matter...just solder on the Tekin motor and then just rev. wires as needed for correct direction

thanks for the reply, im using a MMM. Its not going to blow it if i connect the wrong wires is it? What are the three connectors for + - and a signal wire??

When running a motor in sensorless mode, the order of the wires does not matter. If the motor is turning the wrong way, simply pick any TWO wires and reverse them. The ABC markings are for sensored only.

Ah ok thanks Marvin. Out of interest why three wires, - + but is the third some sort of backup negitive or the wire which controls the motor speed?

IT has 3 because it's brushless. You MUST use this motor with a brushless speed controller. Which Mamba are you using. The CC controllers will have black, red and white wires that must be all attached. IT doesn't matter which order they're attached as long as the motor rotates the right direction for your chassis. If it doesn't, swap two of the wires.
