X-3D-BL User’s Manual
1.1.2 X-Base
The X-Base is the central control unit which is
connected to and communicates with all active
elements of the X-3D-BL. Next to the battery, the
motor controllers, the X-3D gyro and the receiver
you can also connect several LEDs to the X-Base to
give your X-3D-BL a unique fancy look.
An LED connected to the ”Front-LED” Pads on the
bottom side of the X-Base will always be on as long
as the X-3D-BL is turned on. Such an LED can be
mounted to the very front of your vehicle to make it
easier for the pilot to know where the front side is.

Power connector, (+) and (-) marked on the

The key below the power connector (7) turns the
X-3D-BL on and off. A short press is enough to turn
the vehicle on. To turn it off the key has to be pressed
for at least 200ms.
The ”brushed motors” connectors of the X-Base (3)
are not required as the brushless motors are driven by
independent controllers, and thus the connectors can
be used to drive peripherals like for instance a night-
flight kit. Connector ”L” is switched on and off by
R/C channel 5, connector ”R” by R/C channel 6. The
connectors can sink currents up to 5A if they’re ena-
bled. That means that the (-)-input of a peripheral has
to be connected to the ”L” or ”R” pad and the (+)-
input has to be connected to (+) (connector (1)). Be
aware that in this configuration your peripheral will
be supplied the whole battery voltage. If this not what
you need make sure you use a suitable voltage regu-
lator.
