| Unknown light kit.. Wiring problem
Hello I've bought an used cherokee body with a weird light kit that I don't know how to wire up. I have a free 4 wire connector, I'm missing the 2 pin connector that goes to the rx, and I believe I need something in between, since it's a 8 LED kit. Correct me if I'm wrong... https://imgur.com/gallery/ZgWFtep I tried asking in axial subforum, but to no avail.. Last edited by ChILd_ReBoRn; 12-23-2019 at 08:18 AM. |

Taking a GIANT guess here, but that looks like an integrated lighting control and LVC alarm. That plug looks like it goes on the balance port of a 3S lipo.

yeah.. that was a giant guess... the plug is male, same as the balance plug on the lipo... So much mystery.. and I cant reach the previous owner..

It shouldn't be a male connector on the balance plug of the LiPo, it's always female.

| Re: Unknown light kit.. Wiring problem it's male.. I found out what this is.. but don't know how to acquire the missing part... http://www.rc-willpower.com/Cart/ind...roduct_id=9247 I'm missing the "interface" between the Rx and the controller |

Hummm ... my anatomy lessons might be a bit old but last time I checked, this is male (front one of course) : and this is female : Plus you never install male connectors on a battery ... it would be the best way to short it against a metallic part. |

Well.. Just to refresh your memory, male parts go INSIDE female parts. In most normal mammals, that should be the way things work. Male parts don't envelop female parts. Same with the xt60.. It goes inside the hollow female xt60 connector. Ergo, hollow one is female, because the male part goes in it.. Not around it |

Aside the anatomy lesson.. I miss the interface.. A splitter that sends the signal from ch1 and ch2 to corresponding pins and LEDs

In electronics, the male and female part of a connector is not the housing but the contact ... same as with Scots, it's not the kilt that makes a male or female, but what's inside. With XT60, it's more clear. Male : Female : |
