Why my ESC on Talion V3 looks have only one connection for battery, can I split it to connect 2 batteries at a time? Sorry I am new to this, thanks!

sorry I am new to this.
Thanks!

It looks like you've purchased second hand and someone has removed the ability to run two batteries in parallel. You certainly can but will take a little work to get it back to the way it ships from factory.
Maybe somebody will trade a stock esc for what you have. The work the original owner did looks pretty good nonetheless.

Sorry so can I reproduce it and run it on 2 batteries up to 6s total right?
Thanks again!

Yes, you can add a connector in series. They do it in the factory. It's not magic.
You can also buy an adaptor so you don't even have to solder.

Any advice where to get adaptor? Really trying to get in this. Thanks a lot for help!

I think I found the right one on ebay!

I mostly get stuff like that from Hobbyking.
But it would be better to solder another connector directly to the ESC wires.

 

[crimsonfancy]

Should work. I've not used one like this but I think it will serve your needs.

 

[SergTalionV3]

What can I use to solder? I know I need stuff but
Which one?

A hakko or Milwaukee m12 iron are good.
non leaded solder is what I use
you will need flux too! It’s very important for tinning wires

Just get single 6s batteries. I cut all my second plugs off and run a single xt90

 

[SergTalionV3]

That is good option too, I just got this toy so trying to get used to it, fix it, clean and oil, little later yes! Thanks anyway!

^ This..

Additional connectors just add more resistance and potential failure points.


Providing you haven't purchased any Lipos yet why not avoid it completely and just run single 6S Lipos? I don't see any advantages with running 2×3s unless you have some left over from 3s lipos that you can utilise.

^ This is a parallel connector which doubles the capacity (mAh).
You need a series connector to double the voltage:

2x 3s 5000mAh parallel = 1x 3s 10000mAh

2x 3s 5000mAh series = 1x 6s 5000mAh

Just make sure it’s all xt90’s not xt90 to xt60??

 

[SergTalionV3]

Yes, got it! Thanks!
Now I have the other problem...next...I created new thread...doesn’t want to run, but steering is working, esc blinks red

You need to calibrate the esc. Power on the transmitter. Power up the car while you hold down the set button it will blink red and beep. While tx (transmitter) is in neutral push set button, should flash green. Know hold full throttle, push set button ,green light. Know hold full reverse hit set button should be two green flashes. Then power off. Power back on you should be good.

Awesome it did work! Thanks! That was an easy fix and a good piece of info for future!
