gary.mck Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 hi I've just bought the trackstar 6100kv kit from hobbyking, I've removed the old motor and fitted the brushless, I'm a bit confused with the wiring though. how do I connect the lipo? the old battery connector went into a little black block, so I took that off and put the red and black wires from the esc into this proper confused and the instructions that came with the motor are pants please help before I end up blowing the car up ????

gary.mck Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 I think I need a new servo but the guys at hobbyking said everything I had is all I'd need... any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) ok buddy lets get this worked out for you. ESC will want a male XT60 connector solder to the battery terminals, where you have the red and black going to a block you need that block to be a male XT60 connector see that lead comming from the esc with red black white wires and a little black connetor on the end, that goes into your receiver unit ( thr/throttle/ch1) it will power your reciever. now your steering servo has the same like for like plug, this gets plugged into the reciever to (ail/steer/ch2) so it goes - battery / esc , then esc and servo to receiver. SETUP: the esc will need to know the end points. its a clever little brain that looks at your hand controller it wants to know where fulll throttle is and where max brake is. think of this as the brake and gas peddle it need to know how far in it can be pushed and thats how far your throttle trigger moves and brake trigger. now first power up your handset have it turned on ready, and you ALWAYS turn handset on first and then its the last to be turned off at end of play. now plug in your battery, your esc will make some noises beep bep bep, play a tune or something else, this is boot up. pull the trigger in for max throttle. now release it and slide forwards to engage full brake ( or reverse). your esc may make some sounds or you may see your esc change some led colors. most esc manuals have the info for calibration setup. they can be somewhat broken english. but look for an area that mention throttle then brake its usually not far from the start of the info about esc once your esc has this min and max point set the esc will auto load them when powered on. and your esc will now be ready to use to.

gary.mck Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 sorry, i mean i think i need a new receiver, as it's only got space for 1 channel from the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 That does not make sense dude, minimum a receiver will have is 2 channels?? one for throttle / esc and one for steering servo, unless you have one of those units where the esc and receiver are combined ??? try posting a pic looking down so I can see where the servo plug goes and I will try and help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary.mck Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 There you go mate. I know very weird, everything I've had before had at least 2 channels. Which is why I was confused ? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
