SECTION 03
BUILD PREPARATION

Build preparation involves rounding off the corners of the large interior 'PDB hole' in the main frame plate. This is not absolutely necessary to fly your
Speed Addict 210-R or 180-R, but it is highly recommended and standard practice among top builders and racers. Catalyst Machineworks carbon
fiber plate parts are cut by state of the art CNC machines. Cutting the raw material could leave a sharp edge on parts and it is possible this sharp
edge could rub against wiring insulation, resulting in wiring shorts against the frame. Rounding the edges is quite easy to do, but does take some time
as the process must be done with caution. Take your time and do it right, scratches on the flat surface will show. Keep that carbon fiber looking
good!
To round the edge of the carbon fiber simply take a file or sanding block and hold the sanding edge at a 45º angle to the sharp edge. Work the
sanding surface along the edge of the part until the sharp edge is gone. You want a smooth, rounded edge along the entire interior perimeter of
the hole. Below is a picture of the PDB hole.

SECTION 4
ASSEMBLY PROCESS

Note: This assembly manual applies to both the Speed Addict 210-R and 180-R. The 180-R has shorter arms and a
slightly shorter fuselage. Assembly steps will be identical.
STEP 1
Parts Required:
1 X Main Frame Plate (3mm CF)
8 X Socket Head Screw (M3 x 8mm long x blue 7075 aluminum)
2 X Standoff (Black aluminum M3 thread x 32mm long)
4 X Standoff (Black aluminum M3 thread x 18mm long)
2 X Standoff (Black aluminum M3 thread x 12.5mm long)
Assembly Process:
Join the standoffs to the Main Frame Plate as shown below. Use one screw per standoff.

STEP 2
Parts Required:
4 X Outrunner Brushless Motor (Sold Separately)
16 X Socket Head Screw (M3 x 6mm long x blue 7075 aluminum)
16 X Washer (M3 x aluminum)
Assembly Process:
Join your motors to the Main Frame Plate as shown below. Use 4 screws and 4 washers per motor. Included in your kit
are M3 screws for this purpose. But, the main frame plate will accept M2 screws for use on smaller 1806 or similar sized
motors. We do not include this size motor mount screw in your kit. You will need to source these on your own. Orient the
motor such that it's wire lead runs straight down the arm.

STEP 3
Parts Required:
4 X Electronic Speed Controller (Sold Separately)
Assembly Process:
Please note the ESC's are represented below by the blue rectangles. See our product page for ESC selection
requirements or email us for more information as to what ESC type is best for your 210-R/180-R build. Mount the ESC's
using double sized stick tape. Locate the ESC's so their interior edge is 7mm from the hole shown below. Soldier the
motor to the ESC. But, leave the positive and negative power leads uncut and unsoldiered at this step.
