The firewall of the Slick 580 EXP is pre-marked
for either the XPWR 30CC brushless motor or the
DA-35 gasoline engine. These are our recommenda-
tions for power systems, but a variety of 30-35CC
gasoline engines and 2500-3000 Watt electric
power system will work well. The firewall is also
marked with center lines to allow you to align other
mounts and templates.
Drill the firewall for the power system of your
choice. Start with a 1/8” (3mm) drill bit and exp-
land the holes with a larger bit of the correct size for
your mount screws.
For XPWR 30CC electric power, install the bases
of the Extreme Flight STANDARD-LONG Blazing
Star standoffs with loctite. Install the extensions to
achieve 95mm length, then install the motor using
loctite. For any installation, the distance between
the firewall and spinner backplate is 163mm.
The XPWR 30CC motor provides over 3000 watts
of power and is perfect for this model.
The bottom of the motor box on your Slick is design
witha custom mounting area for Castle Creations
Edge 80HV and 120HV speed controllers. The
speed controllers mount using 4 servo screws.
Locate the cowling and the hardware pack. The
cowling on your Slick is very convenient, using only
two screws to retain it.
The cowling screw come with o-rings, install these
onto the screws as shown. These prevent the
screws from vibrating loose.
