How do I tell if my motor, controller, and battery have the correct wiring components

That battery will not hook up directly to your Scamazon motor or controller, the leads are different. I can tell that just by looking, but don't let that stop you if you want to learn how to solder and make connections. I have done this in my R/C hobby to make use of the batteries I want at the price I like to pay for them. In other words, they were not compatible until I made them compatible.

Howdy electricgokart,

Yup, it looks like the battery pack you (linked above)
...should be compatible with the motor kit you (also, linked above) :thumbsup:

But, like Hellion mentioned, the connectors are different.

According to the "specs" (ads)
...the battery pack has an Anderson XT60 connector, on its discharge wires
...& the controller has 1/4" ring terminals

* Notice in the video (in the motor kit ad) they use a "connecting block" (yellow)
...for connecting the battery pack wires
...& for connecting the motor wires too ;)

Also, ya might wanna double check your motor to axle "drivetrain"

Because, the "drive sprocket", that come with those type motors, is usually for use with 8mm chain
...& most American made kart (like Asuza) come with a "driven sprocket" for use with a #35 chain

Thanks for the input. Where can I find a connecting block?

This video shows my Mini-Aerial Atom kart powered by a 60V 2,000W brushless motor/kit

There is a SUPER KOOL "ridin' a go kart" silhouette @~15:20

* Notice, I made my own DIY terminal block, to connect the motor wires
...but, didn't use the "correct" materials
...& had a "bit" of a failure o_O

This video has info on a/the correct terminal block
...&/then, we get "Back ta Business" :2guns:
