i have electric cars i'm trying to get running ,but i don't know anything about electric. pleasetell me what is needed to make one run i have a lot of parts .motors esc's and recivers
 
You need to give us a little more info, Like types or RC's, ESC's, Motors, and batteries, but basicly you need to install a radio receiver, steering servo, esc, and a motor into one of your electric RC's then plug in a fully charged battery, turn on your Transmitter, then your ESC power switch, then if it is all hooked up corectly when you turn the steering on the transmitter the wheels should turn if that is the case then move onto programing your esc according to your esc's directions, once it is programed you should be able to drive it, thats it in a nut shell, most esc's will have a wireing lay out that shows what plugs into where as far as + AND - and what channels on the receiver to plug your ESC and Steeing sevo into, every thing runs off the main 7.2 volt 6 cell battery if this is the type of battery you have.
 
well the problem is i don't have any papers for the esc's . don't know if they ar even any good . how can i tell if i don't have any of the instructions all the stuf came used as a gift to my kids. i have a bunch of esc's and recievers. but don't know how to tell if they are any good.:\
 
If you type in the model of esc you have into a google search you could probably get manuals off of the internet, take some pictures of what you have and postthem and the model on here and I will see if can help you find manuals and stuff for what you have.
 
that would be very cool thank you .i will try and get some of the cars without bodys and of the esc's that i have.:D
 
well i'm back haven't been on a month or so . internet was off .$$.but i wiil get the pic's.and see if anyone can teach a nitro guy about electric:D
