II. Assembly Steps
-
Insert the four M3 Nyloc nuts in their respective holes at the back of the ESC Case.
-
Place the ESC Power Switch in its position at the front of the ESC Case. It should fit snuggly, without needing too much insertion force.
-
Place the ESC in its position at the front of the ESC Case and route the Switch's cable through the groove at the bottom of the Case.
-
Close the ESC Case with the ESC Case Lid, making sure to pass the power and motor cables through the main opening.
-
Secure the Lid to the Case using the four M3x16 Countersunk screws.
-
Screw the two M3x10 Counterbore screws to the top of the case. This screws are used to mounting the driver assembly to the bottom of the PC Case via keyholes, thus, a gap of about 3mm should be left between the head of the screws and the top of the case.
