mamba max pro motor wires help

[Grimreeper]

Okay I am sure that I have missed it but I have been searching for the last hour. I have gotten a mamba max pro and cannot see where on the esc the motor wires are labeled. What I am looking for is which color wire goes to the A,B,C on the motor. And while I am asking it came with what looks like a large capacitor that has a receiver plug. Do I just plug that into my rx? What would that do? Any help and I would be grateful.

Motor wires don't matter with a brushless motor. Just hook them up however and if the motor turns the wrong direction just swap any 2. My MMP didn't come with any capacitor though?

Thanks D. I guess you know what I will be running at the scale comp now.

EEEEEEEEE Wrong

The phasing of the wires DOES matter on a SENSORED brushless motor. The wires should be labeled on the sticker on the side of the ESC. If not, they are A-B-C when looking at the side of the ESC where the wires come out of the case.

If you have the wires hooked up wrong on a sensored motor the ESC will be powering the wrong windings and will self implode or burn up your motor very quickly.

So red white black = A B C

the first time I hooked it up it sounded funny so I didnt run it but a few seconds. after changing it to the way above it seems much smoother. Before I install it into my truck is there anywhere that may have it listed or maybe a photo. I would really hate to blow this stuff up before I get to break something in my truck.

What motor are you running? Also make sure the sensor wire is pressed in all the way. Are you adjusting the settings with a castle kink?

I am running the 3300 pro4 from tekin. That little sticker is missing on the esc that I got. That makes all the difference. Thanks for the help. Maybe now I can install everything and go do some midnight wheelies.
