Hi everyone. I am in the process of building my first (over-priced) QuadCopter. I do not understand the motor wiring. I understand motors 1 and 4 rotate their propellers clockwise, while motors 2 and 3 go anticlockwise. But I do not understand the wiring. My motors have three coloured wires (Red, Yellow and Black). The motor controllers have three wires the same colour (blue). I have studied the construction photos and, looking carefully, I am confused as to which is which and what goes where. I have seen other kits where the motor and control wires are all the same colour (black). Am I missing some technical understanding?
I cannot test motor control and rotation, as I am awaiting a battery. My kit from Flycam, Korea, did not come with one.
See photo.
Please help. Would love to meet a friend in this exciting hobby.
Andrew

The simplest solution to this is to leave the motors and controllers connected as-is, and see which way they spin when you run them the first time. To switch the direction of rotation on a brushless motor of this type, simply swap any two of the three connections.
