Castle 1/18th scale ESC
 
So it says it controls both brushed and BL. Are there two sets of leads to allow for this? I'm imagining me soldering a dean's on then the other three for a BL motor. Am I wrong?

are you going to run brushed OR brushless motors on this speed control?

The red and black that have no plugs on them are for the battery and the other three with the bullet connectors are for the brushless motor. the instructions that came in the box will show you how to connect a brushed motor to the speed control.

See pages 8 - 11.....shows how to wire brushed setups.

Thanks. Well, either way, I need a ESC. I have and really like my VR3 in it now, but I like the idea of upgrading to a Turnigy 3900 (ammo copy) if it's not too much hassle. Gotta find a pinion that works and hope my motor mount will work with it too. ......
I was wondering how screwed up it would be having 3 bullet connectors and the wiring I need.

If you look at the diagram, its just a matter of leaving the white motor wire unconnected. High power setup doesn't even do that, everyting gets connected somewhere.
