Wires came unplugged
Wire came on done on motor wire racing any one tell me if it was to hot I was running around 175 coming off the track can any one tell me if they just weren't on there good thanks for looking

Gauge of stranded wire you're using, and or pinion you're using.

Doesn't sound like the motor got too hot to cause that at 175F. If the wire gauge was too small, that could be a factor, either that or more likely a solder job that wasn't solid. What vehicle, motor, wire gauge and gearing were you using?

Esc comes with 12 gauge wires. A pic of the connections would help to diagnose. A bad solder joint is easy to get and can be caused by many things. Wattage of soldering iron, iron temp, proper tinning, correct solder, flux all need to be considered. I really enjoy soldering but took time to get really good at it.

so is the solding of the motor can couse it to get hot and if it's not good soldier job just come off too I didn't know that it looks like the ten just broke off the gun is only 30 amp

Are you able to post any pics? Curios to see what the solder job looked like.

Could've been just a defective soldering job.. aka cold soldering.
Just re-solder it. :) |
novak usually use 14 or 16 gauge wire. Tekins use 12 gauge. What ever your ESC uses use the larger on motor, like 12 to 10 gauge. Cold solder joints can cause heat. Are you tinning your iron and wire correctly?? tinning 95% of soldering.
