you guys are all just into the race trucks? nobody with any model RC's? Ive got a Tamiya 1/10 Jeep Wrangler on the XC chassis and a old school original Clod Buster that my dad bought in Taiwan in the Navy. The clod hasn't even been upgraded to a ESC yet because of the dual motors. The last time I dug them out and fixed them up I took the resistor and stuff out and put a ESC on the Jeep. their both broken right now
Never used a wheelie bar and never will. The fact that the car will do backflips and pull up and drag the wing at like 30mph is too much fun.
my twin detonator is dual motor, I have 1 esc. LRP no motor limit. Its like $90 Tower hobbies part # LXH5V6Quote:

What kind of connector do i need to get. I guess i could snip the connectors off the old esc and solder those on
Shoot me a pic of what connector your old one had.

I do have traxxas adapters on the batteries already
Ok, on your old esc hold the black plastic plugs TIGHTLY and give the wires a hard pull. The copper contacts will pull out of the plugs. Unsolder them and solder them to your new esc then stick them back into the black plug.
Just be SURE you have the polarities correct.
Also be sure you have a GOOD solder joint!!! the monster pulls a Lot of amps.

Couldnt i just cut the wires and solder those to the wire and heat shrink it then
You could, but the least amount of connections you have the better it is.

its just that i dont have a small enough solder gun to fit inside the connector
You don't have to have. Pull the wire out of the connector.
Ill take a picture of what I'm talking about in a few minutes.

went to the hobby shop. 5 bucks and they soldered a plug on for me. price included the plug as well. and i forgot to get a y cable. so on a half dead 2s lipo. its about as fast as it was before on 2 2s lipos and twin 525 titans. esc is ziptied down till i get more double sided tape.
I had no idea this thread would go this long lol
I almost bought a 1/16 vxl revo while i was waiting lol. It was on sale for $289
