RVE MERAK E750 - ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
MAIN CHASSIS ASSEMBLY
TAIL PINION BEARING BLOCK (1-1)
Both bearing blocks are identical. Please pay attention to the chamfer for a correct bearing
block orientation. While inserting the pulley, press it against the pinion and tighten the two M3
x 3 mm set screws using soft threadlocker. Insert the second bearing block and then secure it
with the M3 x 6 mm screw and flanged washer.
Optionally, lower bearing inner race can be fixed to the helical gear axis with soft threadlocker.
***Recommended tightening torque:
0.8 Nm for the M3 x 3 mm set screws
1 Nm for the M3 x 6 mm screw
6
RVE MERAK E750 - ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
MOTOR BLOCK (1-2)
The motor block is designed with an integrated third bearing and a special helical pinion. Only
motors using 6mm shaft are compatible. Several pinions, 10t, 11t and 12t are available. Follow
the recommendations from Pinion Selection chapter in order to choose the correct pinion.
Insert first the selected pinion into the motor block bearing and lock the pinion nut using
medium threadlocker.
Optionally, bearing inner race can be fixed to the helical gear with medium threadlocker.
Install the engine into the motor block, fixing it with the two M4 x 10 mm button head screws,
using soft threadlocker. Align the motor shaft flat surface with one of the pinion threaded holes
and use the two M4 x 4 mm set screws to secure it. If the motor doesn’t have a flat surface, it
can be done with its center at approx. 10mm from motor mounting surface.
***Recommended tightening torque:
2 Nm for the M4 x 10 mm button head screws
1.2 Nm for the M4 x 4 mm set screws
7

SWASH CONTROL LEVERS (1-3)
Bearings are fixed to both elevator arm
and aileron levers using medium
threadlocker. Apply little threadlocker on
the outer bearing race, avoiding the
threadlocker to touch the shield.
Then insert the bearing on its place.
Be careful to not forget to put the brass
spacers into the inner part of aileron
levers.
Long M3 threaded balls are installed
using medium threadlocker into the
aileron levers’s long arm as shown in
the pictures.
***Recommended tightening torque:
1 Nm for the M3 threaded balls
8
RVE MERAK E750 - ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Insert the ball link into the elevator arm securing it with the phillips screw. It may be needed to
sand a bit the ball link’s cylindrical part in order to insert it into the elevator arm. Use a little
amount of medium threadlocker on the screw part in contact with the aluminum elevator arm.
Previous to install the elevator arm into the elevator lever (red part) place the flanged spacers in
the internal part of the elevator arm as shown. Secure both parts together with the M3 button
head screws, do not overtighten them. The elevator mechanism should move freely.
***Recommended tightening torque:
0.6 Nm for the M3 x 8 mm button head screws
9

TAIL CONTROL LEVER (1-4)
There’s a short and a long threaded ball. Install them as shown on the pictures using medium
threadlocker. Secure the tail control lever to its support with the M3 x 14 mm screw and
medium threadlocker. Do not forget the brass spacer (washer) to assure good contact between
the bearing’s inner race and the support. Do not overtighten the mechanism, it should move
freely.
ESC SUPPORT (1-6)
The carbon fiber ESC plate is secured two the aluminium supports with M3 x 8 mm flat head
screws using soft threadlocker. The kit includes XT150 connector brackets that can be
optionally used. Secure the brackets to the aluminium supports with the M2.5 x 8mm screws
and soft threadlocker.
***Recommended tightening torque:
1 Nm for the M3 threaded balls
0.6 Nm for the M3 x 14 mm screw
0.8 Nm for the M3 x 8 mm flat head and M2.5 x 8 mm screws
