I just got a cheap Surpass 17t motor & 60a esc combo for my Ultima. The motor wires are not attached and I want to make sure I set them up so the blue wire on the motor connects to the blue wire on the esc. I know where to connect them, just not sure which side gets which color.

Do I connect the blue wire to the spring side or the heat sink side? I know I can just switch wires if it runs in reverse, but I'd like the colors to match up.
Thanks for your help

Re: wiring brushed motor
blue would be negative and yellow is positive. Doesn’t matter which side of the endbell you go to- can be offset or both at the top or bottom.

Re: wiring brushed motor
Use the tabs on the end to solder too. They give you plenty of surface to connect too.
They are also handy for capacitors.

Re: wiring brushed motor
If I had just seen the + on the end I would have been good. After I saw it I felt like an idiot for coming on here and asking Now to get it wired up and installed. I've had this Ultima for months and it hasn't had a first run.
