Posit§an§ng af
your
E§C fil
the
modet
Mount
the
ESC as far away as
possible
from the receiver, using
double sided
tape or velcro.
Keep the thick
power
wires away from the antenna and other thin
wires to avoid interference
problems (See
Fig.1 for example
install).
The antenna should come
straight out of the receiver into the
antenna
tube and up out of the
model. Do not attempt to use any
part
of the model
as an antenna!
The ESC should be
positioned
to allow cooling air
to
pass
over
the heatsink, this
reduces the risk of over-ternperature shutdown.
Make
sure
your
motor is fifted
with two
(2)
motor capacitors
(0.1uF)
-
one from the negative terminal
to the can and one
from
the
positive
terminal to the can.
Wiring up @f
your
ESC rn madel

The ESCs
are
supplied with
Tamiya
style
plug
and bullet
connectors
at the factory.
(Some
of the higher
