Thread: FCG Motor Wiring

Tweet

I need a step-by-step for wiring an FCG motor.

I purchased this one from Monsterguts: http://monsterguts.com/index.php?act...d&productId=90

But I really don't know how to go about powering it. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

i found this link a great help for me

It's a standard 110v AC motor. Cut the female end off of an extention cord, strip the wires on the cord and your motor and twist them together. It doesn't matter which wire goes to which. Soldering is preferrable but you could also use wire nuts. Be sure to tape the connections, especially if your prop will be outside.

Thanks. That's exactly what I did last weekend (using wire nuts). And by *I*, I mean a friend who was much more knowledgable in these matters than I. And everything works beautifully.

Outstanding! Post a pic when you can.
