Revision History
7 November 2014
- R1 – Initial Release
Quick Start
1. Solder wires from ESC to pads on motor
2. Waterproof solder connection with epoxy or potting compound. We recommend using Loctite Marine Epoxy or MG Chemical 4229.
3. Connect the wires to an ESC, send a signal, and the motor will start spinning. That’s it!
Notes
It is strongly recommended to insulate the motor. Over time, without insulation, the wires will begin to show signs of corrosion.
Do not operate the motor for extended periods out of water, the bearings are lubricated by the water. Vibrations and noise will be greater when dry.
