Speed controller mount
Cut the ESCs power leads to length and solder wires to the “+” and “-” pads on the bottom frame. Connect the
motor wires to the ESCs.
Position the ESCs either on the booms using zip-ties to securing them, or staggered inside the frame for a
cleaner look but at the expense of lower airflow for cooling.
If there is a lot of wire slack after the installation, consider re-doing the motor and/or ESC wires for a tidier
install..

Now, complete the build by aligning the motor assembly perpendicular to the frame (90° angle). Look from
behind the arm into the frame and use the propeller to position the motor assembly perfectly level to the top of
the frame. Fasten the motor mount firmly to the boom by fastening the four screws.
Alternatively compare the distances from the tips of the propeller to a flat surface and align the motor until both
tips have the same distance to the flat surface. The propeller should be perpendicular to the arm.
Getting this correct will make sure the entire power train runs at peak efficiency.
