I know I look like a jerk, but do you really think this is enough information to give you any sort of accurate answer?

This is the best I can do under the circumstances: Motor Connection Diagrams

There is a ton of RC information on the web. Sites like Tower Hobbies and others, plus YouTube are very helpful.

Here is a three part series on motors and ESCs: RC Motor and ESC Wiring - Part 1 - YouTube

As good as the vid was it still doesn't help... I need to know what to do with the black wire,as I do not want to get a new esc and I don't want to open the rear drive train up and get a new motor... there must be a way I can do this/
:(

I know my way around and RC car pretty good, but unfortunately I can offer no help with this. Maybe someone else here is familiar.

Best I can suggest is to post this to an RC/hobby message board. This is a "Home & Garden > Electrical & Lighting" message board. Your situation does not at all relate.
