Step 1: Assembly Guide
Before Assembly:
- Please read the following instructions carefully to ensure a smooth assembly process.
- This kit includes various screws and parts with similar appearances. Verify specifications and orientation before fastening.
- The video was recorded in early April. Minor updates may exist, but assembly remains the same. Refer to shipped parts as final.
- Shipped screws have thread-lock applied. Use proper tools or an electric screwdriver (recommended). Set torque to (3–6 kgf·cm) to avoid stripping. If stripping occurs, stop immediately and replace or realign the screw. Stripped thread-lock screws are difficult to remove and may damage parts.
- Ensure safety during assembly. Avoid pinching or injury. Children must be supervised.
Step 2: Reset Motors ID
Before Reset Motors:
Before motor parameter configuration, note the following preparations and safety rules:

- Keep ≥1m distance during debugging/operation.
- No motor hot-plugging; cut off power before plugging/unplugging XT30 2+2 interface.
- Do not overload/overspeed; check wiring and fasteners before startup; avoid humid/high-temperature/dusty environments.
- Set reasonable program parameters and emergency stop to prevent out-of-control.
