Wiring Help!
Hey guys, I've always used pre-wired combo setups, but I want to install a Novak Ballistic 550 4.5T in my Jammin SCRT10 with a Castle MMPro. Can anyone tell me how the wires from the MMP match up to the Ballistic? MMP has a black, white and red wire. The ballistic leads are labeled C, B and A.
Sorry if I seem just totally stupid...I really don't want to mess up my new motor!!! Thanks guys!! KEEP THE RUBBER SIDE DOWN!! |
I think the white is a common wire, keep that in the middle "B" and should be good. At least on mine, swapping the black and red to my knowledge, reverses the rotation of the motor.

So it won't matter which way I wire the black and red? It just reverses the poles, correct??

NO! If running sensored the wires must remain in the A B C order.
Switching 2 wires is only for non sensored systems. Very bad advice, hope it's not too late! |
Are MMP sensored? I thought Castle was not in the sensored game..
|
Could be either:
Mamba Max Pro 1/10th Sensored & Sensorless ESC: Castle is Ready to ROAR http://www.castlecreations.com/produ...a_max_pro.html If he hooks it up sensorless then I'm out of line. But if sensored.....yikes! |
Good info.
Thanks Dave. |

I don't know the wire colors and I'm not going to guess. Should be an A-B-C label somewhere. Snip from the manual:
Let’s get started:1. Connect your motor to the ESC:Sensored operation requires you to connect the three motor wires to the ESC in the correct order. Incorrect connections on a sensored motor will cause abnormal operation and there is a strong possibility of damage to both the motor and speed control. Your sensored motor will have the wires marked as A, B & C. The Mamba Max Pro motor wires have the same markings. Plug A into A, B into B and C into C. For sensored operation, be sure to plug the motor’s sensor cable into the sensor port on the side of the controller. |

Again, only an issue if you are running sensored, with the sensor harness connected, etc. Problem solved!! Thanks Dave!!! :) |
Everybody is welcome, hope I was able to help some.
It’s a common mistake. Castle has a lot of very satisfied sensorless users, understand many don’t have any experience with sensored. Hope I didn’t come across too harshly. Cheers |
i have never had a issue with being sensorless
