  • adapters for motors and ESC

    As you may tell, I'm new at this. I'm in an area that has no RC hobbies, (air field is 1.5 hours away) so I have to go to the web. I have a small glider which has a 1550 15 amp motor to a 15 amp ESC. The motor cables are very short (2") which I have trouble putting into the ESC. "Can I make cable adapters to use , say about 3" more?). I have the small 3 cell 1300 battery. Thanks for your time beng

        Thank you for your service to our country, sounds like you're on the right track with the simulator and there's plenty of people here that will be glad to help with any questions to have.

          Before you order, check the ID of the contacts on your ESC; 3.5mm is just wide of 1/8", if you don't have a metric measuring tool. Though unlikely at 15A, they also have extensions with 4mm bullets (~5/32"): https://www.motionrc.com/collections/motor-accessories
