- Repeat steps 2~3 to solder the motor wires from the second ESC to the second motor,
making sure to secure the motor wires to the centre link rod so that there is enough
slack for the suspension to articulate fully.
5
- Refit the gear cover, then repeat steps 1~4 to install the second motor.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overtighten the gear cover retaining screws or they may strip
the threads in the gearbox.
IMPORTANT:
Again, remember to apply threadlock to the cap screws to prevent
them from loosening during use.
IMPORTANT:
The installation locations of the two electronic speed controllers, the receiver and the battery shown in steps 5~7, is
what we suggest if you're using the same accessories that we recommend. The electronics can be installed in a number of different
configurations and may differ from what is shown due to their physical size or other factors. If you mount the electronics differently
than what we show, there are a couple of things to keep in mind:
l
Nothing can be mounted to the bottom of the lower chassis plate. Anything mounted to the bottom of the lower chassis plate will
reduce the X-Crawler ARR's ground clearance and could interfere with its operation.
l
The battery pack should be mounted as low as possible to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible. This will help make the
X-Crawler ARR more stable.
1
- Install the two electronic speed controllers (ESCs) to the top of the upper chassis plate,
using double-sided tape as shown.
IMPORTANT:
Depending on the length of the motor wires on the ESCs, you may
need to solder new, longer motor wires in place to reach the motors.
PRO TIP:
We suggest mounting each of the ESC ON/OFF switches to the inside of
the two chassis side plates, using double-sided tape.
2
- Solder the motor wires from one ESC to the motor on the same side of the chassis,
making sure that the polarity is correct. Solder the positive (+) motor wire to the positive
(+) motor terminal and the negative (-) motor wire to the negative (-) motor terminal.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the motor wires are long enough so that there is
enough slack in them to allow the suspension to articulate fully.
3
- Use two or more nylon cable ties to secure the motor wires to the centre link rod.
IMPORTANT:
Again, make sure that there is enough slack in the motor wires to
allow the suspension to articulate fully.
