8th scale electric beginner question
 
So, I'm not new to RC, but I am converting over my Mugen MBX5 to electric. I'm using a budget setup, including a Hobbywing 80a speed control and a Tacon 2150 8th scale motor.

So heres my newbie question...

I see the wires listed as A, B, C on the speed control, but how do I know which wires need to be plugged together? Theres no A, B, C on the motor wires?

Thanks!

Is it sensorless? If so, just plug them in and if it runs backwards, swap 2 of the wires and it will reverse direction.

I have that tacon motor and if i remember correctly the black wire was A and the red is C. Yellow goes into B

This won't matter though as like said above, if it's sensorless, it doesn't matter.

Only sensored setups worry about "polarity".
