motor wires to the three wires coming from the motor or directly to the ESC in any order. If

you are using a motor other than a Castle Creations motor, you may need to either solder on

matching male bullet plugs to your motor, or solder the ESC wires directly to the motor wires.

If you choose to direct solder or to shorten the motor wires, you may do so on the Castle

Creations NC14XX series, NC15XX series, NC1717, and NC2028 motors only.

DO NOT CUT

any part of the wire length from any other motor, regardless of brand or type.

In most

cases, only the last 1/4 inch or so of most motor wires are able to be soldered. If they are

clipped shorter you may not be able to solder the remaining portion of the wire and the motor

will not run properly, if at all.

If the motor is supplied with connectors you do not want to

use, simply unsolder the original motor connectors from the wires - do not cut them o.

There is no polarity on the three ESC-to-motor wires, so do not worry about how you connect

them initially. You may ﬁnd it necessary to swap two wires if the motor runs in reverse. This

will be explained below.
