NigelH Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hi The ESC has three thick wires on one side. Each of those goes to one of the wires on the motor. if the motor spins the wrong way, swap any two of those wires from the ESC to the motor. The two thick (red and black) wires on the other side of the ESC go to the red and black connections on the battery. Red to red. Black to black. The other wire on the ESC is the normal signal wire and goes into the throttle channel on the RX. Just reviewing the UBEC type at 4-max, here's the link to wire it up. Look at each bit in turn and then it's really easy for electric newcomers. Don't get any shorts anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelH Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 By the way, that ESC name doesn't seem valid. Maybe you meant to refer to this one ? If so, that ESC already has a BEC so you would need to pull the red wire as per that guide linked to. Also, some people choose to power the UBEC from another batterry (NIMH, LiPo, whatever).

Ben B Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 http://www.4-max.co.uk/pp-desc70a.htm is the ESC which certainly will need a UBEC or a stand-alone battery, wired up as per the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelH Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 A search for the name mentioned didn't return any results. Also, while you may well have the correct ESC, the name (PP-EESC70AU) doesn't match, which is why I didn't mention that one. In fact, both of those that we refer to have the same name. Given that they sold the OP the UBEC though, I'd be inclined to go along with your choice. In that case, there's no red wire to pull which makes it easier.

Simon Chaddock Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Geoff A Please don't take this the wrong way but the electric set up you are asking about is not really the sort of thing recommended for someone new to electric even if they are experienced IC flyers. Virtually all electric set ups follow a similar pattern so it might be better to start with something rather smaller and less expensive to get to learn how it all goes together as well as the the do and don'ts of electrics.

Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 And PLEASE don't fit a prop until you are sure everything is working correctly...in fact don't fit one until you are ready to test & fly the model. Props driven by electrons bite just as hard as those driven by burning methanol. Also an IC engine, once stopped, stays stopped......an electric motor will try & keep going & will start up again as soon as the obstruction is removed & come back for another bite.... Electric models can be VERY DANGEROUS in this respect.....please be careful.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
