I got my ESC and 13.5 motor today. Thought I would post an install since nobody has.
Here they are in the box:

Unboxed



How not to pre-solder. I put way too much on, made it hard to head it up enough to get the wires on. Just lightly tin them.

The wires are on. I put heatshrink over the motor wires to keep them insulated from the power wires. If I had another colour of heat shrink I would have used it!

Test fitting it

Wires trimmed and everything together. I think I will shorten two of the motor wires to make it look nicer.

The only problem I had was not reading the instructions. After I did that it worked perfectly. Before I read them I couldn't get it to link up. The ESC needs to be put into programming mode, then the ProGauge is attached.
It's amazing what one can accomplish after reading the instructions.

No. You take the cord that plugs into the switch and plug in to the progauge
