Installation Note
This motor requires a compatible brushed electronic speed control. Do not connect it to a brushless ESC unless the ESC is specifically designed to operate brushed motors.
The motor uses direct-solder tabs and does not include preinstalled motor connectors. Confirm correct wiring polarity before applying power. Reversing the motor wires will reverse its rotation direction.
Select a suitable pinion gear and monitor motor temperature during initial operation. Excessively tall gearing, drivetrain binding, or prolonged stalling can cause overheating and motor or ESC damage.
