set up for BL revo.

You just tried each of the white wires? I'm not following what this means. Each motor wire hooks to each of the three ESC wires.

If the motor is hooked up correctly, something is wrong then. The motor itself makes beeping noises when you program the ESC. If there aren't any beeping noises, then either the ESC isn't working or the motor is bad.

Did the ESC lights turn on while you were programming. Just trying to see if the BEC fried (the BEC also provided power to the internal ESC low power circuits).

I plugged in each wire to a wire on the battery and tried it, then I switched the white esc wire with another esc wire and tried it, then tried the white esc wire on the last one, none of which worked.

Let me see if I have this straight; you hooked two motor wires directly to the battery?? I guess it doesn't matter at this point.

Does the ESC or motor get hot when it is hooked right?

When you power up the ESC, the motor should make beep and the ESC LEDs should light up. I know there is no beep, but what about the LEDs?

Sorry, i meant the motor not the battery. We got it working, the connections between the esc and motor were not good. We're going to be solderign them later today.

LOL, ok. I was kinda wondering what the heck you were doing! :)

[Sylvester]

LOL. I though you were putting 2 motor wires to the negative and positive battery leads - Hehe i used to think that would work a long time ago :p

[BrianG]

lol. oh, it'll work, but it will act like a stepper motor and only move a little and then heat up. :)

yeh, we got it running, man is it fast. redrum has some video footage, idk when he'll put it together. this thing back flips and wheelies like crazy

here is a pic of the ghetto set up we used to run it today.

[BrianG]

lol, it was a "prototype" right? I don't see the ESC in the pic, but I do see wires leading to the rear. Does that mean the ESC was mounted on the bumper?!? :dft002: ;)

Now that you have yours running, you're gonna have to help Redrum get his going...

lol yeah, the esc was taped on the shock tower O.o lol. this was our ghetto 1 day rig. i now have a esc mounting plate in the rear. (screws into the exhaust pipe hole). and working to find where to put the reciever.

ill try and help him, he knows more then me. lol.

made some new bumpers today and fitted my new , well not really new, but stickered out t-maxx body on it.

So, is it faster than it originally was as a nitro? ;)

right now its about the same, i just need to get the gearing down and ill say itall be faster.

but for track racing its alot better, you accelerate out of corners way faster then any nitro can.

Looks good! LOVE the body ;)
