What is this wire on my ESC?

[DTW]

Hey all,

I am a Mojave noob and just finished running it for the second time and noticed this unplugged wire hanging off my ESC after cleaning. Can you tell me what it is? It doesn't have long enough wiring to reach the receiver and it looks like it plugs into itself??

Thanks,
Dennis

Is it the aux fan plug / programming plug I think. Is the fan working?

Lol yea thats the fan plug, u need to plug it in, in between the a and b phase leads there is a port! So the fan hasn't been running?

You plug that into the esc and provides power to both the esc fan and motor fan but the Talion which I'm guessing is the car doesn't come with a motor fan

Mojave, I'm sorry. Your just missing the motor fan

LOL! You all are correct.

I like to think that I would have figured this out myself, if not for the fact that the motor fan is no where to be seen. I think I know what crash caused it to rip off...I will head to the site tomorrow and see if I can find it.

Thanks all!

Your loosing me buddy, isn’t that the fan under the orange mesh? You will have to excuse me but I don’t have a Mojave.

The plug is for the ESC fan, which is under the cage, the extension is for an additional fan.
Does the Mojave even come with a motor fan?

Thats Why I’m wondering why he’s going to look for his fan

 

[DTW]

Mine did. I bought it used so maybe the owner installed one?

I plugged the ESC fan wire back in and its working fine. There is still this loose clip hanging off. I assumed it was for the motor fan??

 

[Jgg12002]

Yes a second fan or I believe you can program your esc as well with a esc card of course. Glad your plugged back in !

 

[jkflow]

No you can't program through that wire, it's missing the 3rd pin/wire which is 'signal'.

Thanks for the info
