I bought the losi 8ight starter box and i have the losi 2200mah lipo battery for it. My question is, what are those big round plugs on each end of the neg and pos wires for? Should i cut it off? Here i have some pics.

It looks like those wires came off the motor. Is there a plus and minus wire going to the motor? If not the motor won't spin.

Wow i didnt even notice the motor doesnt have wires connected to the motor. I still dont know what the round things are for but i think i need to solder them to the motor.

Those need to be attached to the motor. I dont see any power going to the motor. The red after the switch and the black direct from the battery. It wont work like that. Where did you get this box from?

I got it from someone that bought the RTR losi 8ight truggy. The plugs look like they got loose so im going to solder it to the motor and see if it works. I will let you gus know.

come to think of it, they look like some kind or resistor..... maybe to slow down the current of the lipo??/? IDK

Losi has a great rtr, but the shock towers and the starter box is junk, other than that it's ok for a losi....

Hi Guys,

I have exactly the same problem with the new losi starter box 2.0. One of the two coils is disconnected by bad soldering, the one connects to the red wire (positive) . Can you guys post me a pictures of the correct connections? Many thanks.
