 4. Slide the gearbox into position on the motor 

mount. Use a 1/16" (1.5mm) drill to drill a hole 
on each side of the gearbox and into the mount. 
Stagger the holes so the screws will not interfere 
with each other. Secure the gearbox using three 
#2 x 8mm screws.

" (optional) (EFLA270)

• 40-Amp Brushless ESC

Required Tools and Adhesives

• Phillips screwdriver (small)

• Hex wrench: 3/32"

• Nut driver: 7mm

Important Information About Your Brushless ESC

Make sure your ESC brake is programmed 

to ‘off’. Also, be sure to use an ESC with the 

proper 9V cutoff when using 3-cell Li-Po packs. 

We suggest this cutoff to be of the soft variety  

to prevent hard motor cutoffs during low level 

3D flying.
