UBEC Install on my Blade 400
Here is How I installed my UBEC last weekend. If you have any questions ask them in the comments section below.
This is the HobbyWing UBEC I installed, the wires on the left go to the battery, the connector on the right goes to the Receiver:
First I cut stripped the wire going from the ESC to the battery (Use a good stripper). I could have just cut the leads off and soldered in a new connector but I didn’t feel like doing that.
Stripped:
Next, I tinned the stripped area:
Then, I tinned the wires on the BEC that go to the battery connector, and then soldered the two wires together:
I cut a piece of heat shrink tubing, put it over the solder, and super glued the seam back together (Yes this actually works like a charm). Then, I used a hairdryer to shrink the tubing down:
Repeat the process for the red wire:
Then take the connector out of the receiver that goes to the ESC:
Remove the Red wire by gently using a hobby knife to pull up the plastic tab:
Bend the red wire back on the other wires and heatshrink or tape it down:
Now plug the ESC connector back where it was, and plug in the BEC connector to the BATT (or spare/open) socket on the Receiver (NOTE: make sure the red and black wires from the BEC are going to the correct pins on the receiver)
This is how it looked when I was done:
Good luck
