John,
Here is what I did. I hope it's right. I desoldered the input off the stock Hyperion balance plate and soldered it onto the balance harness to plug into my 2200 3S lipos. Dose this look right?


Sorry bout the blurry.

Is there any way you could explain what each color coded wire dose coming out of the charger and the battery. Bat has 1 red, 2 white, and 1 black. Charger has 1 red and 6 black. What do each do?

Thank You

Thanks for the response, and yes I sent an extra 3 bucks so you can work your programming magic, lipo is what I want. Does that mean I can also run 2s and 3s on same programming? Thanks.

Yep, that will work just fine. You want it all the way to the far negative side, with main negatives lined up. The battery just uses white for the middle cell taps. The red is main positive and the black is main negative. The charger could use any color for the middle wires- but the main negative side is the important one.

That is correct. It will auto detect the number of cells and beep the count when you plug it in.

Just depends on the wheelspeed you want. You won't be able to overgear the motor, but watch the temps on your battery and ESC. I normally start with a 15t in the r2.

I will be checking inventory in the morning. I may not be out of stock on the batteries. XH adapters I will need to order in.

Worst case, about a week.

Any idea if order #3018 was shipped yet? I just got an e-mail about it yesterday saying the order was complete...does that mean it shipped out yesterday?

edit: Got it, thanks!

Yep, completed is when I package and ship the order.

Yes. Once I package your order you will get a completed email. You will get an email through paypal with the tracking number too.

The p-94 cans have been discontinued and I can't get anymore. I will have the original build of the TorqueMaster in about a month to 6 weeks.

Any order. If your ESC is going forward but the motor goes backwards, then swap any two wires.

John - Just got one of your 7T, great motor! Is there a way to determine if you are at zero degree timing without an ampmeter. I don't see any mark on the can. Thx

John - I am probably missing something, but I had looked at your write-up last night. Not sure to tell the north and south poles to line-up the brushes. By accident I moved my end cap and want to make sure I am at zero or slightly advanced. Sorry if I am missing something obvious. Thanks!

Any word on the Hyperion XH balancer adapter availability? I just purchased a 606I and the balancer that came with it doesn't match up with my batteries.
Unless there is a way to wire it up? They are CKRC 3S lipos with an Align/Electrifly type plug.
Thanks!
