Couple of brushless questions (connectors & bec )
 

I am going to buy placing my order for the 8xl (wanderer) and 9920 tonight, and this will be my first unsensored setup.

What connectors do I need? I saw it said I will need connectors from motor to controller (does the controller just come with bare wires to batts and to motor?) I plan to run deans, but didnt know which of the other connectors (motor) I need, if any?

Also, the 9920 does have a BEC, right? Do they come with the jumper setup for bec? I would prefer not to have to run a receiver pack right now, and dont have the extra cash to get the ubec (is the advantage of the Ubec a higher voltage like 6.0 volts instead of 4.8??)


Also, anyone know where mike is at? havnt gotten a response in almost a week of sending a pm. Wanted to know if he was able to get the twin force battery trays or not.

I like the ubec over the internal bec. It has 6v and make the esc run a little cooler. Seems to run better to. If you buy a bk they have the plugs to motor but you need the plugs for esc. They are 5.5 mm plugs. I run dean for the batts and have not problems with them.

Don't mean to hijack you probably need to know the same thing for the 8xl anyway but I just ordered a 9xl and need to know what pinions to get. Its the blue 9xl if you need to know.

I use 5,5mm plugs on my elektronics. On the motor (7xl) I soldered at each wire an female 5,5 plug and heatstrinked it. On the esc (9920) I soldered male connectors at each wire.

On the + and - off each accu I soldered a female connector. I use a sillicone wire with at each side an female connector to connect the two pack to each other. The other + and - off the driving accu I connect the esc wires.

Are you using stock spur, or are you using the strobe slipper with the ofna spur?

I'm using stock spur for now but will eventually buy the strobe.

I thought the wanderer motors were black?



So these are what I need?


so how many total will I need? I see they come in pairs (one M, one F)

Do I have to use the 5.5, or can I run the cheaper 3.5mm plugs? Kind of confused as to how many I need (if I need 3-4 pairs, at 5 bucks a piece thats a little pricey)

Your the same as me. Im gonna use the stock spur for now then move up to the strobe slipper. For stock spur use "5mm bore 32 pitch pinion gears" and pick how many teeth u want.

yep those are the ones you need. Mike sais the wanderer motors come with 3 female plugs so you will need 3 male plugs, since they only come in pairs you'll have to buy 3 pairs i guess, thats what im gonna do.

I already have deans on all my stuff, and would rather not change over all my batts/charger to the gold connectors. Can the deans handle the amps ok?

I hope so cause thats what im using for my batteries and charger lol. Im sure they are fine, i think most people use deans for battery connectors, you only need the gold connectors for the motor/controller.

the deans will be fine for battery connections, they are the best
