Connecting ESCs to Motors

10/20/2009 1:27 PM

I have a ESC and brushless motor, and cannot figure out how to wire them up. On the ESC, there is a R, B, C corresponding to wires, but on the motor there is nothing. There was no schematic as to wire them up either.

The 3 blue leads go to the motor 3 black leads, no labels needed. Test. If rotation is wrong, swap any 2 leads. Done.

Those 3 phase brushless DC hobby motors and ESC's are sweet. Power to weight ratio is just amazing and no brush maintenance. Best wishes on your project!

Electronic Speed Control = ESC

Term commonly used in the R/C hobby realm.
