Motor and esc help

[sean p]

Am I able to pair this esc and this motor together? If so how do I connect the wires with heat shrink tubes?

Whatever those bullet connectors are on the motor, you need to solder the femalr bullets of the same size on your ESC.

Don't remove the bullets from the motor, you'll need to find out what size female bullets are needed for the ESC, most motors use 4.0mm bullets but the picture you provided almost looks like 3.5mm bullets, they should provide those specs on the product page.

Ok thanks but I’m confused is there like connectors or what?

Yes, here's an example of 4mm bullets:

It says the connectors are 3.5mm so is that the size?

The motor is 3.5mm and the esc is 4mm connector what should I do?

Ok thanks and the other is 4mm for the esc? Is is that standard

You would have to solder bullets on the esc side

If the motor is 3.5mm bullet, use 3.5mm bullet on the esc side,just the opposite one (male vs female, I always get that mixed up)

4mm and 3.5mm won't go together as 4mm is bigger (which can withstand more power)

4mm and 3.5mm bullets are both common. There isn't really a standard.

The motor is female 3.5mm and the esc is 4mm. I think

Just use the same size bullet that comes with the motor to keep it simple

 

[DavidB1126]

In the picture I though you had to solder the bullets on the wires on the esc?

It was hard to find everything to my liking

I need to buy connectors

Can I solder the esc to the connector if it doesn’t fit?

To the actual bullet, probably not, but directly to the wire, yes. That's what I do to my race buggy. Directly solder the wires to the motor tabs.

All that you have to ideally do is use 3.5mm bullets on the ESC side to connect to the 3.5mm bullets on the motor side like these: https://www.amazon.com/Hobbypower-3-5mm-Bullet-Connector-Battery/dp/B00EZKW1T4

My esc and motor are different size connectors so don’t get the bullets just solder them both together?

 

[DavidB1126]

The ESC doesn't have any plugs, it's just wire, so yes you have to solder the bullets on the ESC if you want to go what route.

Unless your talking about a different ESC cause the ESC I see is the Hobbywing V2.1

Wait wait I’m confused so do or don’t use the bullet if I use the bullet should I have solder the motor or esc because they are two different sizes or do I just solder the wires together bare?

 

[bill_delong]

The leads on the ESC to the motor do not have any connectors, these will need the 3.5mm female bullets soldered to them:

Ok just confirming get the female connector and solder them to the bullet so the motor and esc can connect correct?
