Default soldering esc directly to motor question...

just bought one of the EZRUN setups and i plan on soldering the ESC wires directly to the motor tabs. the ESC wires are labeled "A,B,C" but no labels on the motor. how do i know which wires go where?

provided its a brushless motor, you can solder them anyway you want, the worst that will happen is that the motor will run in the wrong direction. the remedy that, can just switch any 2 wires around and it will run the other way.

use the hottest iron you can find, make sure that you pre-tin the wires and the holes. meaning apply some solder to both surfaces before you attach them. plus, only leave the heat on as long as you need to to get a good flow of solder. the fumes are also not good to inhale so open a window.

The A, B, C only matter if its sensored. Then they have to be connected in that order.
