Clod Wiring Diagram

[NickRummy]

Well since I'm building a clod I have been researching a lot about motor/servo/battery/esc wiring. It seems the same question is asked over and over again about series and parallel wiring and motor reversing. I thought I would draw up a diagram for everyone to use. This is how I'm going to wire mine using Deans plugs so the motors and ESC are removeable. If anyone sees something that should be added or removed let me know. If there are other diagrams I can draw to help out I'd be happy to do them.

The motors in this Diagram are set to 0 degrees timing.

Nice job. What if you use a receiver pack though. You should draw one for each.

 

[NickRummy]

Well i have never used a receiver pack so....... I'm assuming it would go in that left over slot on the receiver?

 

[dezfan]

Nice job, thanks!

 

[CoreyK]

It goes on the slot that has a B next to it which stands for battery (receiver battery)

Nice job. What if you use a receiver pack though. You should draw one for each.

 

[NickRummy]

So corey,

B - receiver batter
1 - ESC
2 - front servo
3 - rear servo (optional)

Correct?

 

[CoreyK]

No I run
B-Receiver Battery
1- front servo
2- ESC
3- Rear servo (optional)

 

[NickRummy]

Thanks corey, i'll update the drawing in a few.

digger wiring diagram

Can you make a diagram of dig/burn setup with 2 esc,using 1 battery ?

 

[NickRummy]

Sure.

I can't edit that diagram until i get into work tomorrow.

I'll have to do some research on how to set up the dual esc setup. When i figure it out i'll post it up.

[NickRummy]

Updated the wiring diagram. Just click to enlarge.

Oneleggedmachinest, do you have a larger image? It's hard to pick out whats what on that diagram. I think I'm following you though.

 

[one legged machinist]

give me a little while ill repost bigger the owner of hooby store i go to says this will last the longest and most even power to both motorshttp://hobbyetc.com/ in nashua newhampshire
he said don't waist your money on big$ esc's all you need is two 15t-20t esc
one traxxas y harness,two servos ,two motors,two battery packs "one sucks",and reciever 3ch
tried new draigram but photobucket shinks it alittle so you may have to save and blow up on your own or ill email it direct to you.

any luck w/pics please help

Isn't two batteries going to be heavy?

I found this with a yahoo search. Didn't come up with much from an rcc search. This has two esc's run off a battery. As long as you get a good battery with high mah you should still have good run times. Each motor will still get 7.2v.
