First E-Board build on a low budget!

On the receiver you have channel 1,2, and 3. The other one may say 5v or battery? That one is usually for binding. If you jump the 2 outside pins (skip the middle one) it will put it in bind mode. Once it’s bound remove the jumper and you should be set.

Also, did you try the other channels on your receiver? It looks like you’re plugged into the wrong one.

yeah, I initially had it plugged into channel 2 I believe, but had the same result. I looked at a video online and someone had the ESC plugged into the top channel. He then plugged a “bind clip” thing into a lower channel and bound the remote from there. My problem is i didn’t get a bind/jump cable thing I think

You don’t need one. Just use a wire and aligator clips to jump the outside pins. Any wire will do.All the binding plug is is a mini loopkey

Ok, which pins exactly do i need to use to do so?

the 2 outside pins in the battery slot on most receivers. skip the middle pin.

I’ll try this out soon! I appreciate it!

I plan on using @psychotiller 's motor mount, along with my belt from enertion, and a 36t to 14t setup. The distance calculators online were no help, but will my belt fit this motor mount fine?

What belt size is the belt you bought from enertion? My center to center distance is 60mm, which is more compact that enertion’s…With my mount you’ll need a 255 or you can get the optional idler pulley with my new mount and enertion’s belt will work.

mine is a 265 I believe!

Me thinks you’ll be getting an optional idler pulley

pics of optional; idler pulley?

No pics yet! Will have then soon

Just wanted to clarify, enertion’s trucks are essentially the same as calibers, correct? I have calibers now, and enertion’s motor mount would fit fine?

Yes, essentially caliber clones. I think enertion trucks have more of the axles exposed.

that makes sense, i think the axles are longer primarily to fit their new wheel pulley.

Looking forward to seeing that as well. If there’s a chance your mounts can get even better then I’m all in!

I know this question is probably as simple as it gets, but how do I wire my batteries for charging, and also to the ESC?

^ I have this cable hooked up to the B6AC, and do I just plug this into the other end of the series connector? From here, I plug the other connector to the 6 Cell (Bottom left port), correct? It’s the only one the battery can fit in. Are there any settings i need to change in the B6AC to charge?

Finally, do I simply just plug the batteries into the ESC when I’m done?

just plug your XT60 into your Y cable and then the 7 pin JXT into the 6 cell (bottom left) port then select lipo charge, change the current to 5A and change the cell count to 6S hold down the start button and go.

Thank you so much!! After that, I just plug into my ESC and I’m good to go?
