• Once the Y-harness has been connected to the ESC’s battery power leads, and the joints have been
properly insulated, you can now proceed with installation of the ESC on the helicopter. There are a few
places in which the ESC can be mounted on the helicopter, including the following:
Just ahead of the motor (and heat sink), above the receiver and 3-in-1 control unit. If choosing to
mount the ESC in this location, be sure it is mounted with all wire leads as far from the receiver and
antenna as possible, while also providing adequate clearance for the canopy. It will also be best to
mount the ESC so that the power FETs (the side of the ESC with the label) are mounted toward the top
of the helicopter. In some cases it might also be helpful to use a small block of balsa wood or foam,
along with the foam mounting tape and cable/zip tie wraps included in the “Mounting Accessories &
Wrench” package, to mount the ESC.
