4. Locate three 4-40 x 1" machine screws, one 10mm

standoff tube, two 14mm standoff tubes, and nine washers.
Note: Unlike the 3x25mm size, the 4-40x1" screws have a
coarse thread pitch. Test-fi t, and use the screws that thread
into the blind nuts properly. Apply thread locking compound to
the screws and install the motor to the fi rewall as shown with
the 10mm standoff tube in the bottom position. Make sure that
the motor wires are routed through the left side of the fuse.

5. After you have tightened the screws, rotate the motor

by hand to check for free rotation. If the motor does not rotate
freely, you may have to remove it and use sandpaper (or a
Dremel tool) to grind down the bottom of the battery tray or
any obstruction.

6. Install three 3.5mm male/2mm female bullet connector

adapters onto the ESC motor leads (GPMM3122).

7. Coat the underside of the battery tray with thin CA as

shown. Apply a few thin lines of CA and dab up the excess
CA with a paper towel. Allow the CA to dry. This will prepare
the surface of the battery tray where the ESC and receiver
will mount.

8. From the supplied double-sided foam tape, cut a 1"

[25mm] piece and apply it to the back side of your ESC.
Remove the backing paper and stick the ESC to the back of
the battery tray as shown. Route the battery leads into the
battery compartment and connect the motor leads.

9. Prepare the battery strap using the supplied hook and loop

material as shown. Overlap the two strips by 1-1/4" [32mm].
