sure you change the Motor Type setting to “Brushed Reversing” in the ESC before using a brushed motor.
Use only the red and black motor wires from the ESC, or the outside bullet connectors on the ESC. In most
applications, the red wire from the ESC will connect to the red wire (or positive + side hood) of the motor,
and the black wire to the black wire (or negative - side hood) of the motor. The white wire from the ESC (or
middle bullet connector on the ESC) is not used. After calibration (See “How to Calibrate the ESC”, page 11),
you may need to swap the two motor wires to get the wheels to spin in the right direction.
RADIO CONNECTION
RX Wire (Orange/Red/Brown)
Your Castle ESC RX wire plugs into the throttle channel of your receiver. This is usually channel 2. Your
Castle ESC provides power to the receiver and the steering servo. No separate receiver battery is needed
to power the radio system. Some servos can draw more current than the on-board BEC can handle and will
require an external BEC or receiver pack.
