systems such as our CC Bullets, Castle Polarized Connectors, Traxxas® Power Connectors, FlightPower
Star™ Plug, or Deans® Ultra Plugs.
Your Castle ESC has motor connectors on the motor wires or directly on the ESC and the battery input wires
are bare. You must add the connector of your choice to the battery leads. We recommend a connector rated
for 40-100 amps, depending on your setup.
Check the amperage ratings of your connectors to make sure they meet the amperage requirements for
your application, e.g., don’t use 40 amp connectors on a 1/5th scale setup.
Proper polarity is essential here! Make absolutely sure positive (+) connects to positive (+), and
negative (-) connects to negative (-) when you plug in your battery! If reverse polarity is applied to
your ESC from the battery, it WILL damage your ESC. This WILL NOT be covered under warranty!
