arcing is cool, it are the capacitors who have got a near 0 ohm resistance when they are not charged. One reason why you need to replace connectors now and then, because this arcing damages them.

I understand your precaution.


Yeah, they're too expensive to not be cautious. And I don't have a lot of time during the week to mess around w/ my truck...so :p

My confusion regarding the voltage is that I don't expect to see a complete circuit until the speed control switch is complete when the throttle is opened...which btw, I don't have the ESC hooked up to the receiver yet...I wonder if that's part of the issue.

If my wiring looks correct (see pic above) why would it arc?

thx!
