@collierman57 – Yes, that is correct. Any 2 wires will change the phase sequence and, as a result, change the direction. The outermost wires are often the same color as the ESC leads on medium and larger BLDC motors, so keeping track of just two colors that match is a little easier. I always match the colors to start, and then test the direction. If I have to disconnect the wires during the build, it’s easy to remember the pattern of the two outermost wires!
I think you’ll find that you can swap any two wires to change the phase rotation and reverse the motor direction.
Nice Vid.
@Mena142 – Glad it was helpful! We’ll be posting several more, including multi-engine, external BEC wiring, and navigational lighting. Check back often or visit our website at 2bfly.com under the workshop section. There are flight calculators and electrical reference information there as well. Let us know if there’s something specific you’d like to see….
Man, I’ve been looking for this type of first hand information
This video is awsome!
