• After securing the ESC in its mounting position, connect the motor wire leads to the connectors on the ESC.
The order of the wire leads in the connectors is not too important at this time, as the position of any two of
them can be reversed if the motor does not spin in the proper direction after testing its operation .
• Because the receiver and servos will receive power from the 2-in-1 control unit, it will now be necessary to
disable the BEC power of the brushless ESC before connecting it to the receiver . To do this, it will be necessary
to remove the red (positive) lead and connector from the plastic housing that goes to the receiver, then to
insulate it properly to prevent shorting . Use a small screwdriver or knife blade (and extreme care to prevent
injury) to lift the plastic tab that secures the connector in the plastic housing, then slide it out the back end of
the housing . Use tape or shrink tubing to insulate and secure the exposed connector .
Note: It is extremely important to disable the BEC of the brushless ESC in order to prevent damage
to the other electronics. Remember, BEC power is already supplied to the receiver and servos
through the 2-in-1 control unit throttle and rudder leads.
• Now that the BEC power of the brushless ESC has been disabled, connect its receiver lead to one of the female
connectors of the 3” Y-Harness (EFLRYH3) . Next, connect the throttle channel receiver lead of the 2-in-1 control
unit to the remaining female connector of the 3” Y-harness . Then, connect the male connector of this Y-harness
to the throttle channel of the receiver .
• To complete installation and wiring hook-up of the brushless ESC, connect the remaining JST male connector of
the battery power lead Y-harness to the female JST connector of the 2-in-1 control unit . Be sure to then secure
• Once the Y-harness has been connected to the ESC’s battery power leads, and the joints have been properly
insulated, you can now proceed with installation of the ESC on the helicopter . There are a few places in which
the ESC can be mounted on the helicopter, including the following:
Option 1
Just ahead of the motor (and heat sink), above the receiver and 2-in-1 control unit . If choosing to mount the ESC in
this location, be sure it is mounted with all wire leads as far from the receiver and antenna as possible, while also
providing adequate clearance for the canopy . It will also be best to mount the ESC so the power FETs (the side of
the ESC with the label) are mounted toward the top of the helicopter . In some cases it might also be helpful to use
a small block of balsa wood or foam, along with the foam mounting tape and cable/zip tie wraps included in the
mounting accessories and wrench package, to mount the ESC .
Option 2
To the bottom of the battery/lower frame support rods, just below the main gear and behind the battery support/
mount . Use some small strips of foam mounting tape on the rods, and a long cable/zip tie wrap (included in
the mounting accessories and wrench package), to secure the ESC in this location . Be sure to also secure the
receiver and battery power leads away from the gears and any other moving parts . Then, depending on the
length of the motor leads, it may also be necessary to make up some short motor wire lead extensions (using
approximately 1 .5”–2 .0” of wire and the connectors included with the ESC) to connect the motor to the ESC .
