Set up is no problem... follow the directions that come with the Novak. I used bullet connectors and a short wire and soldered them to the deans connectors that come with the boat. I mounted the unit to the top inside of the radio box with velcro.. Plug the unit into the receiver where the ESC plugs in and the Esc plug to the receptical on the unit itself, per the instructions... You'll need a small hole in the lid of the radio box to exit the two leads that go to the battery harnesses. Make sure to solder one lead to the Black wire and one to the red wire for your batteries.
