Aren’t these just regular bullets but not soldered straight?

actually i don’t know, i’ve been seeing plug like this


but they stick out quite a bit, then i found something like these and wondering if that’s what the Turnigy connectors are

they seems to have a low enough profile to make a thin pack

If I use the maximum duty cycle to set speed limit, can I use the real time data in the VESC tool to see the speed i would get? Or do I have to acutally drive the board and see for myself?

the switch cables go in here right?

use the forum search function, none of these are hidden. its also publicly available on vendor’s website

i dont get that pinout, theres no switch port

There isn’t a dedicated switch port, u have to wire it urself. That’s why I’ve provided the wiring diagram on here for easy access since it’s hard to find in Trampa’s website

damn so do you like solder each cable on the individual pin

That’s one way of doing things

i mean theres no pictures or anything on the site of how they are connected

U also don’t see trampa switch offering have any jst connector on it

damn boi thats a jst? its so tiny it looked like regular cable

wait wouldnt a single jst like that snap at the first pothole

on the esc, that’s a male jst connector, and how u wire the switch is up to u

solder, crimp ur own jst connector or just tape it on, its up to u, i don’t judge

nevermind i got it out!, used 2 long flatheads on each side of it and applied pressure and it worked

Before u even plug it up to a unity or xenith u need to update the firmware on the wand and nrf dongle 1st on a vesc that has a swd and comms/uart port. Then also insure that the rx pin is going to tx on the unity and tx is goin to rx. I use a trampa wand on my xeniths and have a friend whos got a wand that we are gonna use on the Maker dv6

Seems like you’d have to insert the jst pin in the plus to fit on the ‘switch’ place Right above the ADC2 in the pic

I’m going to need to extend the wires on every connection between my xenith and my tbdd. I have already replaced the bullets on the torqueboard drives, the xenith connectors are stock… mt60? Right? Anyways, in my opinion the easiest method would be to use 3 extensions soldered to bullets on each end, basic extension cables, and then run them in a flat line and shrink wrap it. But the hall sensor cables are the real issue for me as I’ve never dealt with those before, can/should I just order some kind of what uhhh 5 I think pin connector extension or do I have to make them? Can I just run these motors sensorless? I plan to run roll to start and the only unsealed gap being the charge port, and every time I see roll to start mentioned so is sensorless. Alright I think that covers it.
