• 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:
Just ahead of the motor (and heat sink), above the receiver and 3-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 that 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 & Wrench” package, to mount the ESC.
