Default question about connection esc - motor

hi

I am not much of an electrician, and have the following question:
does connecting the motor to the esc with such a device has any negativ impact (electronically)?

Just the current loss and resistance from the connector. Tamiya connectors have been known to melt, regularly. I don't know about the current load that that connector can handle but it is best just to direct solder the ESC and motor.

If you are looking to be able to disconnect your motor from your esc i would go with bullit connectors. Castle Creations make some nice ones also you can get them from eflite as well, any well stocked rc shop should have some to choose from. Just know what size wire you are using, they come in different sizes.

Which will be high with a connector like that. It will work, as in pass power from your pack to esc, but the resistance will be high and it's liable to melt. Switch it for a Dean's plug...

Depending on the bus bar inside that connector, it may work pretty well actually.


can you give any more details about it? Should be just fine. If it gets warm you should use something else however.

Even better, 4mm castle plugs. You can swap polarity easily this way.
