battery to ecs wiring-motor to ecs wiring

[Jon]

well my MMM system showed up today and it brought with it more questions then answers.
the directions in this kit absolutely suck and I'm missing my castle software lol.

can someone post a few pictures of the battery to ecs wiring? the kit comes with no battery connectors just a black and red wire coming out of the ecs. i need to see how they get connected to the deans plugs (ordered separate).

also the kit does not show where the wires go from the motor to the ecs. i know they go to the gold things but they are not marked red,white, black... they are all the same and i really don't need to screw this thing up lol.

you would expect some decent directions when you spend so much money but i guess castle thinks we are all electricians.

Hope this will help.

The easiest way to find the right wiring is to set the ESC and motor down so the ends with the connectors and wires are towards each other, then just connect each one to the one next to it...

For the Deans:

__=red
| =black

The top of the "T" on the first one goes to red, the other piece goes to a black wire to the top of the other "T", and the bottom of that one goes to the ESC black.

Post a picture of what you have before you plug it in, we'll double-check it for you...besides, I wanna see how your front-mount ESC looks.

Badd, I'm sure you know this now, just wanted to post in case someone hits this thread later down the road.

ive read on the castle site that (on the Castle Creations MMM you have) there is no polarity in the wires going from the motor to the ESC so they actually say to connect them & if the motor runs backward your commands, switch the wires.
