SECTION 3
ASSEMBLY PROCESS

STEP 1
Parts Required:
Quantity Part Description
1 Main Base Plate (3mm or 4mm CF)
4 Button Head Screw (M3 x 8mm long x red 7075 aluminum)
4 Frame Standoff (M3 x 32mm long x knurled red aluminum)
Assembly Process:
Warning – Please be aware this assembly manual covers steps related to frame construction itself. We do not cover every step
related to electronics install. You must have a basic understanding of how to properly install and setup FPV quad electronics prior to
assembling your Speed Addict SuperLight. If you are new to FPV racing quads and need help we have other resources available to
you.
Position the main base plate as shown. Install the screws into the standoffs. The standoffs are knurled which will allow
you to simply grip them with your hands while you torque the screws. You only need to get them 'hand tight' at this
point. You can go back later once the assembly is complete to apply final torque on the screws.

STEP 2
Parts Required:
Quantity Part Description
16 Socket Head Screw (M3 x 6mm long x red 7075 aluminum) *SuperLight build option W/O Braces*
8 Socket Head Screw (M3 x 6mm long x red 7075 aluminum) *SuperLight build option with Braces*
8 Socket Head Screw (M3 x 10mm long x red 7075 aluminum) *SuperLight build option with Braces*
16 Washer (M3 hole x silver aluminum) *Use only with 3mm optioned main base plate*
2 Arm Brace (3mm or 4mm CF)
Assembly Process:
Solder the motors to the ESC's (motor to ESC wiring is not shown in this manual). ESC's can be held down to the arm with
some double sided stick tape and then protected by surrounding the arm/ESC with heat shrink tubing or colored vinyl
tape. Install the motors using fasteners as detailed below. It is very important to use washers along with the screws for a
3mm optioned base plate. If you are assembling the 4mm optioned base plate do not use washers. The washers are
there to ensure screw threads don't extend up too far into the underside of the motor and won't contact motor
windings. At this point you have the option of running with or without arm braces. If you decide to run without braces
do not use the 10mm long screws. Use only 6mm long screws. Please note the braces are meant to be sacrificial and
work to spare the main base plate's arms from crash damage by distributing crash loading through two arms instead of
one.

STEP 3
Parts Required:
Quantity Part Description
8 Plastic Spacer (Black plastic M3 hole x 7mm OD x 2mm long)
4 Hex Standoff 'Male – Female' (Black plastic M3 thread x 6mm long)
4 Phillips Head Screw (Black plastic M3 thread x 12mm long)
1 Power Distribution Board *Not included and sold separately*
Assembly Process:
Install the PDB onto the main base plate as pictured below. Make sure the screws are tight into the standoffs, however
do not over torque. Keep in mind these fasteners are nylon which is a soft material. Don't strip the standoffs. The PDB's
main lipo pigtail should exit the rear of the craft. There are two slots machined into this area. Run a zip tie through the
slots and around the lipo pigtail. This is an important stress relief for the pigtail. File down the edge of the carbon fiber
on the main base plate which comes into contact with the lipo pigtail wires.
