Soldering Brushless motor wires
I am totally new to brushless. I just got a PN 5500 v2 motor. I understand that there are 3 wires and which one goes where.
My question is: Do I solder them to the 3 little u-shaped bracket on the side of the can? It is mostly green chip-board material and it doesn't look like there is much metal there. Do I have to take the end bell off? That doesn't seem right. Seems like a stupid question, but I thought I'd better ask before I screw it up. |

You solder to the 3 tabs on the PCB. Don't take the endbell off.
Just be sure that the solder doesn't bridge the tabs. Tin the tabs lightly, with good tin on the wire. http://mini-zracer.com/forums/attach...1&d=1539026396 |
What EMU said. Here's another picture for reference:

Looking at your pic, I should clean up my soldering a little ;)
On VE Pro boards, I reuse their wires and just cut off the bullet connectors. On the standard VE with rainbow wires I swap out the wires entirely. The plastic used for the rainbow wires is stiff. |
Thanks guys,! That's what I needed and what I would have done if left to my own devices. Thank you! Superfly, that looks exactly like my motor. I do have a VE pro board. I am planning on cutting off the bullet connectors. Thanks for the tip on the wire lengths, I would have kept them the same length.

Alright guys, new motor, new problem. I just got a PN 3500 stock motor to my brushless car HFAY legal with the motor rule changes. I disconnected my 5500 one wire at a time and soldered on the new motor, and it runs backwards! I double checked the VEpro board, and everything matches up. I tried removing all the solder with some solder braid in case I bridged a tab, and then I resoldered it after triple checking that the motor matches the board, and it still runs backwards. I reversed the throttle on my EX6r radio and it runs forward, but goes slow and runs in reverse much faster, so that didn't work out. Any ideas about what I screwed up?http://https://photos.app.goo.gl/tCAi6DekeUxnDAVb6

Swap any two wires and the motor will reverse direction. The PN motor naturally rotates the opposite direction. Many will swap A and C, but A B or B C work the same.
As for hot linking images, place brackets around IMG before the link, and brackets around /IMG after, so it would look like (img) link(/img) with brackets instead of parentheses. If I would have written with brackets, it would be hidden. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1Q...NVYjMwOGY3YkdR The other option is to upload the image directly to the forum, which is how I do it. Then hot link to embed it into the post where I want it to be. |
