4200 slip ring removal and brushless upgrade

How do you wire it up??? I saw 3 red wires and 3 black wires. Does the red go to one side and the black to the other? Is there a chance you'd be able to provide me with some sort of diagram? I have had this thing for 3.5 month and only used it for 20 minutes before burning out the ESCs and replacements. I'd love to get it has together and use it! Thanks again for your help!

Hi,

Yeah, that's correct, 3 red wires to one motor, and 3 black to the other. The ESC has probably 3 wires with different colors for the motor, but it does not matter which wire goes where, as long as the e.g 3 red wires are hooked up to the same ESC. See link to wiring diagram. That's for the new 360L excavator, but same setup concerning the track motors (or 'walk motors' as they've been called also)
Not quite sure what went wrong since ESC's has been burned, but hopefully things will sort out when you have a look at the diagram?
