Motor connecters

[john 8s]

So I just got my T.P power motor and the person has female connectors soldered on. I am not sure why it was like that. My question is if I get my motor extension wires is it ok to have to male connectors on same wire. 1to plug into motor and on to plug into esc? I've never seen a motor soldered like this.

I think that should be okay, if the bullet connectors are large enough to handle the current and the solder joints are solid I don't see anything wrong with doing that. Of course make sure there's shrink tube/tape or something over the individual bullets so they don't bridge while the car is running and current is flowing to the motor. I'm not sure why you would solder the female end to the motor honestly, pretty much every ESC I've seen has female bullets.

He said he ran it on a xlx2. I'm not sure how though.

That’s perfectly fine. Male-female direction doesn’t matter for conductivity purposes.

He was probably making motor extension leads and just used what he had on hand. Like @dure16 said, perfectly fine.

Yeah, a 'gender changer' extension is no problem. Done a few of those myself back in the day. Not so much anymore.

Couldn’t make up your mind or what??

Got ahold of the seller and he told me that's how got it from T.P. I doubt it though.

He's full of crap

Like @dure16 said, he’s more full of crap than a Christmas turkey. TP ships bare motor wires ready for the bullet of your choice to be soldered on.
