8. Assemble the motor and mount it to the motor mount
box with four 4-40 x 1/2" Phillips screws and #4 lock washers
and fl at washers and threadlocker—notice that the motor
wires are positioned on the left side for a smooth connection
to the ESC.
9. Connect your ESC to the motor and mount the ESC to
the bottom of the motor mount box—for the Castle Creations
Edge Lite 75 ESC we soldered the female bullet connectors
that came with the motor to the three motor wires (protected
with 3/16" heat shrink tubing) and a Star connector to the
battery wires, then mounted the ESC to the box with a piece
of foam rubber and nylon ties.
10. Power up the ESC and use the transmitter to run
the motor to make sure it turns the correct direction. If the
motor turns the wrong direction swap any two of the three
motor wires.
11. Glue the two balsa sticks across the back of the
fi rewall so the screws don't puncture the LiPo battery in the
event of a crash.
12. Attach the rougher, "hook" side of the included
adhesive-back Velcro
the other, softer "loop" side to your battery.
