So I have been flying my Nighthawk Pro 280 (ARF) pretty hard recently and I had a crashed which has wiped out my motor which I had ordered and now arrived. My only question is what is the connection for connecting my motor to the ESC/PDB? It looks like a plug with three pins and where can I get hold of one? I snapped one of the pins as I removing the old motor from my frame :(

Any help would be great

THANKS AGAIN IN ADVANCE!!!

I believe (but I'm not at home to 100% confirm) it's a 3pin JST XH connector:

(pins are separate but it looks like you still have yours)

If it is JST XH then it should be the same as what's used for a 2S balance plug. I'll try and confirm tonight when I get home.

Of course you could always just unsolder the connector from the board and then just solder the wires directly...they may be a bit short though so you'd probably have to extend them a bit. And you'd have to clean off the conformal coating (alcohol dissolves it fairly well) first and then replace it so things don't short out....

Yep, just double checked and confirmed, it's a 3 position JST XH same as the balance plug on a 2S pack.
