look at the endbell, usually there's a + and - symbol to tell you which side is positive, and which one is negative.

For the stock mabuchi/johnson silver can closed endbell motor, green is - or ground/negative, and yellow is + or positive.

Remember to upgrade the motor harness to 14 gauge wires. The stock motor's tiny wires (about 18 or 16 gauge) will usually get fried at the amp draw the 19T motor generate.

If I remember correctly, Trinity still makes premade motor leads/wires that you can just plug in.

From what you said with the ESC, it seems they use orange for + and blue for - .
