Assembling X666 quad build.

So Ill start off with the parts I'm using with my quad.

Frame: Hobbyking X666
ESC: Hobbyking 30A
Controller: Hobbyking KK2.1.5
Motors: Multistar Elite 2216-920 2-CW 2-CCW

So I've started my assembly process and a little confused.

I dont know which wires on the motors connect to the 3 wires on the ESC. ALl the motor wires are black.
Also I have 2 CW and 2 CCW motors. Are these motors suppose to be opposite of each other.

I have no layout on how to connect anything to the KK board and not sure on even how to program it?

Can someone give me a little help here?

Well i finally found that. Ive been reading it.

But have yet to find anything on the multistar elite motors i bought. I dont know which wires i need to connect. All the wires on the motor are black.

Also ive been trying to watch videos and google info but how do u mount the motors? Do you put the CW motors and CCW motors across from each other?
 
HI mate I have the same frame ,just connect the wires it does not matter at this moment , when you power the quad to test the motors , if it spins the wrong way just swap over any 2 wires this will make the motors spin the right way for there position on the quad
By the way its nicked named the devils frame ( 666)
 
With three phase it does not matter (well unless your doing a building), just hoock them all up to the ESCs and which ever ones are not spinning the correct way just swap any two of the wires.
 
Yes there is , the battery is DC your ESC will convert this to a 3 phase AC it uses the wires to pulse the power into the motor to make it spin this is the motor timing , if it turns clock wise and you want it to spin anti clock wise by changing 2 wires its makes the pulse run the other way so motor spins the way you need , thats it in a basic way they are way more tech than that but sinple is better for now

The motors can spin in either direction which can be changed by switching 2 of the 3 wires. CW/CCW refers to the threading for the props. By having them in the correct positions (which is rather important) the prop nut will basically be tightening as the motor spins.

Above is the correct motor/prop rotation for the KK2.
 
Right but what about the 3rd wire?

All 3 wires on the motor are black.
I understand that 2 of them can be switched for different rotation.
 
Hi mate all 3 wire are needed and must be used, to change rotation any 2 wires can be swapped this will make motor turn the other way , What Jackson said is important, if you have self locking props or self locking prop mounts these must be mounted on the quad in the right place so the motor will spin the same direction and the nut turns to lock up tight
 
Im still waiting on propellors.

I had to order 4 different sets just to see which ones will fit on my motors.
First set I ordered fit but dont go down on the motor shaft all the way so I cant even put the prop nut on.

Show either links or pictures and we can probably tell you what you should get.
 
Hi mate as long as they lock onto the flat on the motor shaft and you can get the nut on it will be fine :)
