Attach motors to arms
Each arm of your Y6 will have a top motor and a bottom motor attached to the arm using
co-axial motor mounting plates. To ensure motors are securely bolted to arms, apply a small
amount of threadlock to each bolt before fastening.
Threadlocking compound is an important component to ensure your motors remain
firmly attached! For application tips, check out this video:
Attach mounting plates to bottom motors:

direction of the end of the arm.
Fasten motor and plate to arm using two 6 mm
steel bolts by accessing through the two large
holes in the bottom of the arm. Repeat for all
three arms.
Secure mounting plates together:
Place mounting plates with bottom motors
attached on underside of arm so that the three
outer holes in the plates align. Insert a 19 mm
hollow spacer between top and bottom holes;
thread a 25 mm bolt through spacer and plates.
Secure with a metal nut. Repeat for all three
holes on mounting plates. Repeat for all three
