Guys I got this esc used and I don't use these kind of connectors I use deans so I need to change them the problem is I don't know where the batt goes and the motor........... I think the batt may go where the small wire goes for the on off switch if you guys can help that will be great :(

Dick why not post the answer others might be currios also. My thinking is that the batteries go on the red and black would I have blown it.

Sorry Ray,
No secrets, he had asked Ray Fuller and Ray forwarded the e-mail to me. I answered it a couple days ago but accidentally replied to Ray, not Louis. Anyway, I finally figured it out and re-sent it to him.
BTW, Blue wire always goes to the motor Negative (on a brushed controller). Black goes to the batt neg and the red's are motor/batt pos.

See ya,
Dick

Dick, if this is right it would make more sense to connect the thin black wire (switched BEC plus) to the side of the black negative.

Anyway a pretty dangerous setup. It's very easy to connect the batteries to the wrong side.

BTW, this setup needs a Schottky diode installed on the motor.

A shotkey is always a good idea. I'll send some with the extra G plugs.
See ya,
