Introduction

Welcome to the PHX Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) Removal and Installation Guide. This procedural

guide is designed to provide documentation for PHX users who will remove and install a damaged or

new ESC. Typically, users would have contacted Sentera Support prior to this in order to purchase new

parts listed in the Required Components section.
