T
Install the propeller adapter (included with your motor) onto your brushless
outrunner motor, following the procedures in your motor's user guide.
T
Install the backplate mount (included with your motor) onto your brushless
outrunner motor, following the procedures in your motor's user guide.
STEP 1: INSTALLING YOUR MOTOR MOUNT AND PROPELLER ADAPTER
IMPORTANT
Two sets of motor mounting holes are predrilled through the motor mounting box. One set is for a four-hole radial
backplate mount and one set is for mounting directly into the back of the motor. If your motor or its backplate mount uses a different
mounting hole pattern, you will need to drill new mounting holes through the motor mounting box to match.
T
Install your motor to the motor mounting box, using four M3 x 16mm machine

STEP 2: INSTALLING THE MOTOR
STEP 3: INSTALLING THE MOTOR MOUNTING BOX ASSEMBLY
T
Temporarily install the propeller onto your motor.
T
To ensure that the cowling will line up properly with the crankshaft, the back
edge of the propeller (at the hub) should be 4-1/2" (114mm) in front of the back
edge of the motor mounting box. If the distance is shorter you will need to install
a shim behind the motor to space it to the correct distance.

STEP 3: INSTALLING THE FUEL TANK
T
Cut two pieces of silicone fuel tubing (not included) to a length of 4" (102mm)
and install them to the aluminium tubes at the front of the fuel tank.
PRO TIP
Mark the ends of the silicone tubing "vent" and "pick-up" so you
don't confuse them when it comes time to connect them to the engine
later on.
T
Cut out a piece of 1/4" (6mm) thick foam rubber and place it on top of the fuel tank mounting platform in the fuselage.

Glue one scrap piece of balsa or light plywood directly above the fuel tank
and directly behind the fuel tank to hold the fuel tank securely in place.
IMPORTANT
When you install the fuel tank in the next procedure, make sure that the top of the fuel tank is toward the top of
the fuselage.

Install the throttle servo into the
centre
of the plywood servo tray, making sure
to drill 1/16" (1.6mm) diameter pilot holes for the servo mounting screws.
IMPORTANT
Note the orientation of the servo. When installed, the servo
output shaft should be toward the back of the fuselage.
