the frames)
12. Industrial strength stick down velcro

6. 4mm motor mount screws (4 included)

9. Side frame to bottom plate connecting brackets
Optional:
5mm or 6mm motor shaft adaptor (for motors with short shafts that will not reach the upper bearing block)
Step 1:
I've removed the rotor head and main gear assembly to allow more room to work on the model.
I've also loosened all screws on one side of the frames to allow disassembly of the clutch assembly
electric motor which will be helpful in the build later on. You may find it easier to remove the tail
boom to allow the model to sit balanced on your work bench. Make sure you have all the required
tools and equipment listed under required items. This conversion kit was designed to allow the user
to convert an existing nitro 700 to electric or simply build from a brand new kit using this
conversion kit. You can at any point revert back to the nitro setup since we're not changing any
part of the
machine that effects re-assembly of the nitro components. I wanted to use the least amount of
parts and make it as simple as possible just like the designer of this fine machine originally
set out to do. We all can appreciate the amazing power of electrics and its features like: instant
torque, not wearing down balls and ball links as quick from the oil, particles, vibration and not
having to clean the mess nitro leaves behind.
Step 2:
Locate the right side and left side motor mount and battery mount drilling guides. These guides
are designed to make it easy for the user to successfully drill the holes in the frames for the
motor mount and battery mount without any hassle. The larger guides are for your motor mount
and smaller guides are for the battery mount. Place the appropriate guides in both sides of the
frames as seen in the picture.
Step 3:
Be sure you have the front drilling guides secured well before drilling. Line the upper
bearing block holes with the holes in the drilling guide. Use the required drill bit to
drill through the guide holes as seen in the pictures. It's not necessary to use excessive
force when drilling the carbon side frames. Excessive force will dull the drill bit and may
damage the carbon frames. The original holes in the frames are approximately 4.6mm
so you will need to find a drill bit that size or close to it. You can use the drilling guides
supplied to index the right drill bit. We'll be using the stock shouldered screws supplied
with the Align Trex 700N kit for mounting the motor mount, upper bearing block,
battery mount and side frames to bottom plate connecting brackets.
Step 4:
Locate your electric and if you have not done so yet, solder your male end bullet connectors to your
motor and female end to your speed controller.
Step 5:
Locate the supplied motor mount and 4mm screws (4 screws). Again, use very little red or blue
loctite prior to assembling motor mount onto the motor as seen in the picture. I personally use very
little red loctite just so things don’t loosen in flight. The Neu motors are designed with longer shafts
to reach up into the upper bearing block. Install the motor mount to motor using the supplied
screws using blue loctite. You will notice 2 different set of mounting holes to allow use of different
motors. Most motor will use the smaller diameter holes including the Neu motor. You will notice
pockets designed to lighten the parts and you will need to have the mounting screws inserted
through the pocketed side of the motor mount (flip motor mount if you have to use larger diameter
mounting holes if you are using Kontronik or motors that use larger diameter mounting holes).
Slide the pinion of your choice(20 teeth for the Neu 1915 1.5Y) on the motor shaft. Install upper
bearing block on motor shaft at this point. We will have to install motor assembly in the model
temporarily to identify placement of pinion in reference to main gear so we can dremel the flat spot
on the shaft to secure pinion.
*If using a motor with a short shaft, you will need to obtain our upgraded adaptor to utilize the
upper block.
Step 6:
Install the motor assembly and upper bearing block in the frame halves at this point as seen in the
picture. Loosely install the shouldered screws supplied with the Align Trex 700N kit onto the upper
bearing block assembly and motor mount making sure the shoulder of the screw is registered in the
frames. You can also install the rear battery tray as seen in the picture.
Step 7:
Locate the 2 small side frame to bottom plate connecting brackets. Install using the shouldered
screws supplied with the Align Trex 700N kit as seen in the picture. There are 2 screws per
bracket securing the side frame to the bottom plate.
Step 8:
At this point, you can install the speed controller. Clean the mounting surfaces where you will be
using sticky back Velcro. Cover the back of the speed controller with the fuzzy side Velcro and the
hook side to the top of the bottom tray. Install the speed controller where the fuel tank was placed.
You may need to use the servo extension to fully reach the receiver and plug into your throttle
channel. connect speed controller to motor and connect your Y connector so you can run both flight
packs in series.
