appreciate your help


Sure thing.

I’d also recommend spending a little money and getting a good servo horn. The ones that come with those servos is ridiculously soft metal. I switched to a Hot Racing servo horn and haven’t had a single issue.

This is the Vanquish bumper set I put on mine. Fits perfectly, 100x better than the stock ones, and less than $20 for the set including shipping.

Im fine with the stock servo for now. If it aint broke, dont fix it, right? Seems plenty strong out of the box and theres a spare servo horn included in the box the while still plastic, it twice as thick as the one that comes installed. Just a tip for anyone on a strict budget like I am.

Hi what the are saying is reverse the BK + RD wires. it will be simpler to open the joint from the ESC too motor and re-solder there.

Trying to switch them at the motor will just complicate things.

Didn’t complicate it at all. Unplug, and plug back in with no issues whatsoever.

I thought he was talking about the 1030 ESC, the hardware requires the connection, soldered to together.


So referring to your post, not trying the let the air out of your balloon. Is the connection for the ESC a plug or 2 wire bullet type ?
