ESC plug into Brain

[Teh_Instigator]

Does anyone have a photo showing correct position of ESC plugged into brain. I switched out my ESC and now forward is reverse. I am thinking i have it plugged in backwards. Can anyone please help me.

You just need to switch two of the wires going to the motor. It doesn’t matter which two.

Ok, thats the way I have it Black is towards outside when ESC is on the side looking at.
I set up Battery mode and throttle and still backwards.

Oops I misread your post, and thought you meant the receiver.

Like @jondilly1974 said just swap around the motor wires.

What esc is it? You can switch motor rotation in esc on some models.

It sounds like the brushed Mega esc and that only has the option for nimh/lipo and disable/enable brake through jumpers.

It's the 100 blx model

Okay then swap around the middle motor wire with either of the outside wires.

Ok. That worked. Will the power be right? Before seemed alot faster in reverse. I want to make sure I have the power setting right for forward direction.

Is it still faster in reverse?

 

[Teh_Instigator]

I will find out tomorrow its pitch black outside now.

 

[jondilly1974]

It was faster in reverse because your ESC thought that was forward.

When you get it all straight as far as the throttle working the way you want it do the throttle setup procedure (calibration) in the manual and check your failsafe.

I did the calibration and switching the wires did the trick. Going forward now, I need just need to add wings and it would take right off, lol.
