Power Module Set for VMA-N210X Nouvo - Installation Procedure
a) Review the Read Me First documentation and the Assembly & Operations Manual that came with your model.
 
b) In the Operations Manual please turn to Page 7, Stage 11.
 
c) Review (but do not action) all Steps 11A through 11L inclusive. 
 
d) Review Figure 11F showing the wiring between the motor and the electronic speed control ("ESC"). Make sure you plug the wires together as follows:
  • Motor Red Wire to ESC Red Wire
  • Motor Black Wire to ESC WHITE Wire
  • Motor WHITE Wire to ESC Black Wire 

If you do not connect the wires between the motor and the ESC as described above you can damage the motor &/or ESC or the motor may turn backwards.  

e) Review the supplementary information provided below regarding step 11K 

f) After reviewing the steps and the wiring of figure 11F and the supplementary information provided below, proceed carefully with steps 11A through 11L to assemble your power module. 

The following depiction illustrates the Fuselage and the assembled Power Module and how it is wired to the Fuse Assembly and Battery Pack: 


VMA-N210X Nouvo 1300 EP 51 in. Electric ARF - Firewall (Power Module) Spacing - Page 7, Figure 11K

This supplementary information applies to manuals with a copyright date of 20070418 (see back cover). Manuals having later copyright dates may already reflect this supplementary information.

Please see Page 7, Figure 11K.

Figure 11K illustrates the spacing between the fixed firewall in the front of the fuselage and the power module firewall to which is attached the motor and speed control.

The picture is correct. However the red type annotated distance shown in Figure 11K of the 20070418 version of the manual is incorrect. The distance should be .39 in. (10 mm).

The actual distance is not particularly critital. What is important is that: 

  • The spacing is equal at all four bolt locations.
  • The cowl can be pushed over the motor and power module firewall and back onto the fuselage with an overlap of 1/8 in. (3 mm)
  • The cowl does not touch the motor itself.
