Use really good quality connectors and make extentions so that you can move your esc somewhere else? Since this is a budget system, and expectations should not be the same as a $300 system.. the loss you suffer from extra connectors could not be any worse than using a tamiya plug in a car!!

HI - COLOUR not good - that LIME was almost impossible to see!

A 3s lipo is 11.1v - You will have to change the fan which if you are going to do lots of power - you dont want to have no fan. The 60A on most sites is rated as their 5.5t or above the KV of the 5.5t is 6000kv

if you're running 3s lipo I'd say just patch the fan cable into the BEC, or onto a spare receiver port.

I didn't realize that green was so bad sorry , thanks Bikerbob and that means I am safe to use a 5900KV 540 can as long as the original fan is connected to a bec? Or you mean I have to change the fan ???

yeah.. the fan is powered through the esc .. it is a 6v fan.. if you put 11.1v it will blow up! LOL..

You can put a lead off the fan to the spare channel in your receiver... that will put you back to your 6v area.

If all else fails, read the instructions

It says in the instructions if the motor runs in reverse swap two of the wires over.

If taht fails, read the instructions again !!!!

And vlozity .. your first measurement of 25cm or 250mm that you edited was far more entertaining

Are you just stupid or a bit slow?

Read the instructions. If the motor runs backward simply reverse two of the wires from the ESC to the motor
