Cut each motor 

wire to your desired 

length. Allow leeway 

for each arm so they 

can fold without 

pulling). 

Important: DO NOT 

solder the tip of the 

wire that you will 

insert in the ESC. 

Make sure you have 

enough exposed wire 

so that it will have 

good contact with the 

screw inside the ESC.

Make sure you know 

which wire leads 

to what motor and 

label them. Example: 

Labeled on the ESC 

plate, S1; S2; S3; 

and S4. Each wire 

aligns to the motor 

sequence.

Mount the ESC 

and keep it in place 

with double-sided 

outdoor nail tape. 

Apply electrical tape 

to keep wires on top 

of the ESC (so that 

the arms will close 

properly).

Now, test the motor orientation to make sure your motors are spinning 

in the correct direction (according to your flight controller). If they are not 

spinning in the correct direction, switch the individual motor wires until the 

motors spin into its proper direction. Check your flight control manual.

Underneath the ESC, double check the 12 screws to make sure they 

are tight. Gently pull wires to make sure they are not loose.
