Step 10: Connect the ESCs to the Motors
You will connect the electronic speed controllers (ESCs) to the motor cables. Don’t secure (zip-tie or otherwise) the ESCs just yet; that will be done after the motor spin direction has been configured in Secton 7, since it may be necessary to unplug the ESCs at that time.
Parts Needed:
- 1 – Chassis Assembly, prepared in Step 9
- 4 – Parallax xRotor 20A ESCs (#750-90015)
Instructions:
- Arrange the wires exiting each boom at the center of the chassis so that they go to the right.
- Connect an ESC to one of the sets of motor wires. To make the connection; firmly insert each of the connectors at the end of the motor wires into into one of the ESC’s output connectors.
- Repeat the previous instruction for each of the remaining three motors, plugging an ESC into each set of wires.
