Hey Josh

With a Dagger, one motor runs reverse;

The easiest way is to run a wire from postive on front motor to negative on rear

Then, negative on front, positive on rear

Then, you need to introduce the speedo cables.

I usedta use clamp on cable splicers as seen here; http://www.tamiyaclub.com/getuserimage.asp...004164843_4.jpg

Now, I solder a length of wire along the bridge wires (the +/- -/+ wires I was on about) so it kinda looks like a stethoscope - it's a bit more fiddly, but it won't get you told off for looking like a hack []

I'm not too sure on a WD whether the ESC positive goes to the front or rear motor positive, could someone confirm that?

sorry twinset he msn me he a bit muddled up the poor bloke is

positive means the red wire josh and the negitive is the black wire.

so solder a wire on the red cable on the front motor and connect it to the black wire on the other motor, then take the black wire from the front motor and connect this to the red wire on the rear motor.then connect the red esc motor cable to the red cable on the front motor and the black esc motor cable to the black wire on the front motor. now you can use a single motor esc with a twin motor truck use a esc with a min limit of 13t this will help not smoking it.

hth josh i try to explain a bit more simple

See my showroom for details of Wild Dagger/Twin Det ESC wiring. Twinset, pretty sure that the rear motor is wired normally and the front one in reverse.

I just cut the wires off the MSC and put bullet connectors on them. This allows me to use the ESC on other cars as well and does away with the need to make the Y joints. I know this introduces another connector in the system but unless you are worried about fractions of performance I don't think it matters to much. I am only running standard silver cans at present and nothing has overheated yet. Maybe it might with two quicker motors, I don't know, but for now was a simple way of putting an ESC on the car
