6. Glue the ESC tray side pieces to the tray in the orientation
shown. Be sure the side pieces are thoroughly glued.
❏
7. Thread a #4 x 1/2" [13mm] self-tapping screw into each
tray hole and back it out. Apply a drop of thin CA to each hole
to harden the wood. When the CA has dried, mount the ESC
onto the underside of the tray using three #4 x 1/2" [13mm]
self-tapping screws. If you are using a different brand ESC, you
may need to modify the tray to fi t the ESC.

8. Mount the ESC tray to the brushless motor mount as
shown. Put a #4 fl at washer onto each of the four 4-40 x 5/8"
[16mm] machine screws and insert the screws through the
holes in the tray side pieces and through the center slots in
the brushless motor mount. Tighten a 4-40 locknut and #4 fl at
washer onto each screw to secure the tray to the mount.

9. Connect the motor lead wires to the ESC. Wrapping the
wires behind the ESC tray below the mount will keep the excess
length neatly out of the way.

10. Make two straps from the included hook and loop
material by overlapping the mating ends by approximately
1" [25mm]. The straps should be long enough to wrap around
