Default How do you wire a MMP to Tekin T8

I am ready to solder the three motor wires from my Mamba Max Pro to my sensored T8 tekin 1900kv.
The Castle instructions say hook it up and if it runs backwards just reverse the wires. I wanted to try and solder 1 time and be done.
Does anyone have a pic of how the wires from the esc to the Tekin T8 go?
The Tekin T8 has A , B , C The MMP has red,black,white
Thanks in advance.

MMP will also be labelled ABC

You cannot change motor direction by swapping wires on a sensored motor, the order matters

Cheers

Thank you. I guess I need glasses! You are correct,the esc is clearly labeled A,B,C.
I did not see it until now.
Thanks very much for the help.

Id be careful using a T8 on an MMP...Im sure they all vary for the T8 1900KV has a max amp draw of 125A. If Im not mistaken the MMP has a maximum amp rating of 100As.

A lot of people at my local tracks use the t8 1900/mmp combo for 1/8 buggy. One of the top drivers in this area has been using this combo for 2 years with no problem. I just find the rx8 to be unreliable. I just spent 94.00 to get one repaired by Tekin. I am thinking about selling it when it comes back and get another mmp.

We use the MMP with tekin t8 motors all day long. I personally have done it on 4s with a 1900 and 3s with a 2650. No problems what so ever. If your sticker is missing on the MMP just remember (red white blue) or in the MMP case (red white black= A B C)

Exactly why I'm back with MMP !!
I find it way more reliable than RX8 and MM...... plus its a few ounces lighter as well

Tekin T8 1900 kv works really good with MMP,all you have to do is cut off the end where the original plugs are and solder them to the motor or you can get a bigger plugs if you are using MM motor.

I've been running a mmp/Tekin 1900kv combo in my Slash 4X4 with 3s for about a year with no problems. I've been thinking of trying this combo in my 1/8 buggy, which I'm currently running a MMM/2200kv combo. I've tried the MMM/Tekin 1900 kv, but the Tekin sensored motor does not like to be run sensorless. The motor was cogging real bad with a the sensorless MMM esc.

I'm sorry for this question but What's cogging? What cause it?
