Hi,
I'm trying to understand the wiring for a Multiplex MULTIcont X-08.

It seems that:

Speed controller supply..
Red is +V Power.
Black is -V (0 volts) Power

Motor power.
Yellow is +V to motor.
Blue is -V (0 volts) to motor.

Receiver control
Black is +V receiver power.
Red is -V (0 volts) receiver power.
Yellow is the motor control?

Is this correct? Basically the red connections are the same connections but
brought out separately for convenience. Same for the black? Yellow is the
speed control signal?

Many thanks

Peter.

No. Round the other way

Pretty much.

IIRC they are common positive but the RX -ve is adjusted down to -5v WRT
to the battery positive.
