MT60 connector on T500?

Hi All,
I was wondering about the BlueBoat variant of the T500 + ESC 500 combo. The ESCs come with 3-way MT60 connectors for their thrusters, but I don’t see any mention of what comes on the thruster’s cable, if anything. The standard version of the T500 package mentions including bullet connectors to solder onto the thruster’s cables, so I’m guessing that’s how the BlueBoat/MT60 setup works too?

Hi @rperkins -
The T500 is not used on the BlueBoat! It uses the M200 motor, in the BlueBoat variant (which includes the MT60 connector.)

I’m playing with making a mount for the T500 to be used on the BlueBoat currently - it will not do much to change the top speed but could make the vehicle significantly more efficient, especially if towing payloads…

Thanks Tony! I forgot about the M200. So I guess the answer for my T500 + Basic ESC 500 BlueBoat version connector issue is: solder on my own MT60 connectors to the T500’s cable, right?

If you’d like to connect the T500 to that BlueBoat Basic ESC 500 configuration then yes, you’ll just need to solder on MT60 connectors to the cable rather than the provided individual bullet connectors!
