X4F – ESC Installation

- Xray X4F - ESC Installation -

by Stefan Schulz

The new X4F’22 is out now and I want to show you how I install my ESC perfectly.

It is not so easy, because I open the ESC and soldered on the circuit board.

But for me with this way I show you, the ESC looks amazing!

I hope the pictures are easy to understand.

What you need is:
Soldering Station
Small screwdriver
BEC wire
BEC plug
Wire for capacitor 22-24 AWG
Wire for Battery and engine 16AWG

  1. Provision of the Materials

  1. Remove cable

  1. Clean solder joints

  1. Open the housing with a screwdriver

  1. Check the wire

  1. Desolder the fan cable

  1. Distance protection from cable

  1. Make sure how the cable is properly attached

  1. Use cable marked for white wire.

10.1. Wire for receiver

10.2. Wire for on/off switch

  1. My way of soldering the plugs to the cable. Maximum stability

11.1

11.2

11.3

11.4

11.5

11.6

  1. Soldering the connectors to the wire

13.1 & 13.2. Now the hardest. When opening the switch you need patience.

13.3. Replace the cable, pay attention to the orientation again.

13.4. Ready to attach to the ESC

  1. Lay the cables the way they were connected before. Important do not twist!

  1. Soldering the cables

  1. Screw the cover back on

  1. Now come the cables for the motor and battery with the appropriate lengths and positions

  1. Pay attention to the angle of the cables

19.1. Now follows the replacement of the cable from the condenser

20.1. Now solder the capacitor from below.

20.2. Cover it with heat-shrink tubing to make it less visible

  1. So the controller is almost done.

  1. The length of the sensor cable is 115mm

  1. Attach the double-sided tape so that the cables can lie between them. (Receiver and on/of switch)

  1. Make sure you have the right software on the controller.

  1. This is the final position of the ESC

26.1. And done. Now the car can be driven.

26.2. Here's my car. This is how I will drive future races.
