Faslink, and then cut the excess pushrod. Notice that the

Install the Motor and ESC
❏
1. Install the RimFire .32 motor to the front of the motor box
with four 2.5 x 12 mm machine screws, 2.5 mm lock washers
and 2.5 mm fl at washers. Apply a drop of thread-locker to
the threads of the machine screws before installing.
❏
2. Cut and attach a piece of adhesive backed hook and
loop material to the bottom of the ESC. Attach the opposite
piece to the bottom of the motor box.
❏
3. Make a hook and loop strap by overlapping a strip of
hook material with loop material by 1" [25mm].
❏
4. Secure the ESC to the bottom of the motor box with
the hook and loop strap. Trim off the excess strap.
❏
5. Connect the 3 motor wires to the ESC motor wires. Plug
the ESC into the receiver.

6.
With the propeller not installed
, switch on the transmitter
and position the throttle stick in the low position. Connect the
motor battery to the ESC. Arm the ESC if required following
the instructions included with the ESC. As the throttle stick is
advanced, the motor should start to rotate counterclockwise
when viewed from the front. If the motor rotates in the wrong
direction, switch two of the three motor wires and recheck the
motor rotation. If the motor goes to full power with the throttle
stick in the low position, the throttle will need to be reversed
on the transmitter.
