*Overall unit dimensions are approximately 75 x 60 x 45 cm (package). The integrated design features a standard outboard lower unit interface for straightforward mechanical mounting. Electrical connection requires a 50V DC power source (typical 10S-14S LiPo battery) and a standard PWM throttle signal.*

(Technical drawings with precise mounting interfaces are available upon request.)
