Hi, I have a sabertooth 2x5a
As shown in this image, the Motors plug into M1A M1B and M2A M2B
What I am not sure about is whether positive or ground wire from the motor goes into M1A or M1B or if it matters which way around they are.
Many thanks,
Waderw

Either way works; if one motor goes the opposite direction to how you want it to go, swap the wires!

Great, thanks for your help, I am a bit cautious as I already fried my orange RX reciever by not plugging the cables in correctly ( it wasn't labelled )

Re: A question about the sabertooth esc
Good strategy for avoiding that is to keep note of which pins are connected together on the PCB. The pins for the red and black wires for power will be connected in rows whereas the white for signal will be separated.waderw wrote: Great, thanks for your help, I am a bit cautious as I already fried my orange RX reciever by not plugging the cables in correctly ( it wasn't labelled )
