I am new to this and just got my integy 55t lathe motor and noticed it has what appears to be 4 places for wire connections. What is the correct way to wire it? I am running an evx with one battery on a modded e-maxx.

thanks

1 lead to the + side and one to the - .... the top of the end bell right next to the bearing says what side is what there should be a little + sign for the positive side.

Fishmaxx · 08-23-2005, 10:11 AM

One side is positive, and the other is negative. Look for the (+) or (-) stamped on the endbell.

Remeber that if you are running a clod one of the motors will be wired with the positive off the speed controll to the negative on the motor. Otherwise you won't be going anywhere fast.

chafey · 08-23-2005, 12:06 PM

or you can wire it normal and reverse the end bell.

derbinator · 08-23-2005, 01:37 PM

OK. I seen the positive symbol. The other 2 spades that have the screws thru them are of no concern then?

That's correct.

mazdaparts · 08-23-2005, 05:29 PM

Is there a need to run caps on the lathe motors or is interference not an issue?

nd4spdbh · 08-23-2005, 06:51 PM

umm i run them on my lather motor just because i had the soldering gun hot and the motor out... i would run them just because but it really depends on your electronics...

derbinator · 08-24-2005, 06:14 AM

Does anyone have a pic of a lathe all wired up to make this super simple?

nd4spdbh · 08-24-2005, 10:09 AM

wow its just like n e other aftermarket motor u buy... ill try to get a pic later.

Urbanace · 08-25-2005, 12:06 AM

Here you go. The blue wire is connected to the negative and the yellow to the positive.

derbinator · 08-25-2005, 06:50 AM

I know, I put more into it then it really is, but this is the first motor I've had with an endbell that looks like the pic you showed. Guess I don't want to fry anything. And thanks for the info and pics.

havik · 08-28-2005, 11:56 AM

thanx every body i was up all last night
iam still up from last night
but i finaly got my rig put together
i have had this thing for over 2 mo just getting piece by piece

thanks again

RedBullRockIt · 08-31-2005, 10:52 PM

To continue this in a little more detail...can I use the two smaller leftover terminals to solder the caps to...versus soldering them to the can itself?

how do you do that? i just got a used clod crawler. from the ESC, it looks like it's connected to the lathe motor on the + side. it works but i want to know how he did it.

chafey · 09-08-2005, 01:05 PM

you cant be serious.

yeah i was but yeah i figured out how to swap the cap around. hey, i'm new to all this electronic stuff. give me a sbc or 22re engines, and i can be dangerous.

crazy4ink · 12-09-2005, 12:04 AM

I have a question. I wired m lathes like the pics above shows, but my motors wouldn't work. The ESC would make a noise, got really really hot but nothing happened.

Do I need to installed resistors capacitors on the lathe motors? If so, can someone please post a close up pic? This is my first electric R/C and I'm a little lost.

I'm using to Integy lathes, a Rebel 2, and all this is in an NN chassis.

Thanks

JohnRobHolmes · 12-09-2005, 07:48 AM

sounds like you have shorted your esc. Make sure that you are wiring to the positive and negative sides of the motor and not just to one side.

redbull- yes you can use the little tabs instead of soldering to the can

Urbanace's pics are pretty up close and clean.
