Intrested to see how these ESC hook up. I have done it in the past with two motors but I honestly for the life of me can not remember how to do it. well with one ESC anyways.

it's a bluebird high torque digital, i got this about a year ago and it was 80$ or so but now you can get them at hobbyking for about 50$ But I think that this servo will go in jammin scrt10 for racing and I will put the Jr 9100t that i have here |

i just replaced the servo for the jr 9100t as i said i would. also i started the ESC wiring job... i am not really good at it and i don't have a good soldering iron so it makes things a bit harder.. however i don't like having 2 wires from each ESC that go to the dean plug, so i used on on each side that goes to both negative and both positive connectors on the ESC's |
