ELEV-8 v3 Quadcopter Assembly Guide

Step 3: Feed Motor Wires Through Booms

The extension wires are feed through the booms to protect them, and it’s easiest to do so before the motors are mounted. Grommets are used to protect the wires from the sharp edges of the holes

Tools Needed:

  • Needle Nose Pliers (optional)

Parts Needed:

  • 4 – Motor/Mount Assemblies from Step 2
  • 2 – ELEV-8 v3 Boom – Silver (Clear Anodized) (#730-00065)
  • 2 – ELEV-8 v3 Boom – Blue (#730-00066)
  • 4 – Black Rubber Grommet (#700-00140)

Instructions:

  1. Feed the three cables of one of the motor assemblies through one of the grommets.

  1. Slide the grommet all the way to the motor. 

  1.  Feed the three cables of one of the motor assemblies through the large hole on the side of one of the booms, towards the opposite end of the boom. 

  1.  Pull/push the wires all the way through the boom until they emerge from the other end. You may find needle nose pliers helpful to pull the wires through. 

  1.  Fit the grommet into the hole. 

  1.  Repeat this for the other three booms.
