Mounting the Speed Control

Mount the Li-Po Tazer 10T ESC in the location speciﬁed by your

vehicle’s instruction manual� Use the double-sided foam tape

(included) to secure the speed control in position�

NOTE: Be sure all wiring connections can be reached prior

to mounting�

Use double-sided foam tape to secure the side of the switch to a

convenient location on the chassis or shock tower�

Wiring Diagram

Wiring the Receiver

NOTE: The Li-Po Tazer 10T uses the motor battery to

supply power to the receiver through the servo wires�

There is no need for a separate receiver battery�

• See your radio’s instruction manual for proper connection. Typically,

channel 2 is used to control the throttle�

• There are 3 wires involved in the universal receiver connector. It is

directly compatible with JR

, Hitec, Airtronics Z, new KO PROPO and

Futaba systems�

• Older Airtronics or KO PROPO radio systems must use a modied

wiring order�

• The positive (red) and negative (brown) wires must be reversed to

operate with these radio systems� To remove the wires from the plug,

use a small jewelers screwdriver to pry up the plastic tab associated

with each wire� Gently slide the brown wire out of the plug� Repeat on

the red wire and replace in the opposite positions�

• Install the plug referencing the wire colors on the steering servo for

proper polarity�

Motor Capacitors

If the motor you are using (10 turns or more) does not have

3 capacitors already attached, you must install them� The

monolithic capacitors help prevent motor noise which

lessens radio glitches� Some motors have internal capacitors that

are not visible without removing the endbell� Check the motor’s

instructions to conﬁrm if capacitors are present in your motor� If

your motor does not have capacitors, they can be purchased at

your local hobby shop� Follow the directions below for proper

connection�

1� Using a small ﬁle, scuff up an area on the motor can between

the positive and negative tabs (see ﬁgure 2)�

2� Take one of the capacitors and solder one

wire to the positive motor tab with the

other wire positioned over the scuffed area

on the motor housing (see ﬁgure 3)�

3� Use another capacitor and solder one wire

to the negative motor tab with the other

wire positioned over the scuffed area as

well�

4� Solder both wires to the motor housing

(see ﬁgure 4)� A high wattage soldering

iron may be necessary�

Instruction Manual

Thank you for choosing the Dynamite

brand� We know that

you, the customer, are the reason that we are in business� Your

satisfaction is our number one priority� With this in mind, we

have produced Dynamite Tazer

™

to be of the highest quality,

performance and reliability, and at a “value-packed” price� We

hope it provides you with hours of enjoyment in your next RC

project�

Features

• Li-Po compatible circuitry protects batteries from damage due to over-

discharge

• Pre-wired with Tamiya battery plug, bullet-style motor connectors, and

universal receiver plug that ﬁts JR

, Futaba and Hitec radios�

• Designed to operate with stock motors (10 turns or higher).

• Push-button programming makes setup a breeze.

5� Solder the third capacitor from the positive

to the negative motor tabs(see ﬁgure 5)�

6� Use side cuts to remove excess capacitor

wires�

Some forward-only ESCs require a Shottky

diode attached to the motor for noise

suppression� Be certain there IS NOT a diode

attached to the motor when using the Li-Po

Tazer 10T or any other reversing electronic

speed control�

Connecting the Motor Wires

If your motor has pre-attached male bullet connectors, press the

orange motor wire into the plug that is wired to the positive motor

terminal� The black wire is connected in

the same manner to the negative motor tab

(see ﬁgure 6)�

If your motor does not have male bullet

connectors, you may purchase them from

your local hobby shop� (“Motor Connector

Wire DLR1055”)�

Caution: To detour glitches caused by RF (radio

frequency) noise, route all wires and the receiver antenna

away from motor leads� Secure with tie wraps (not

included)�

Connecting the Battery

The Li-Po Tazer 10T comes pre-wired with a Tamiya-style

connector, compatible with most battery packs� The Li-Po Tazer

10T is compatible with battery packs from 4-cell (4�8-volt) to

7-cell (8�4-volt) sub-C size battery packs and 2S (7�4-volt) Li-Po

packs as well�

1� Be sure the on/off switch is in the “off” position�

2� Connect a fully charged battery pack to the speed control’s

battery connector�

Adjusting the Transmitter NOTE: Refer to the radio instructions for specific information on transmitter setup. 1. Set the “throttle reversing” switch to the NORMAL position. (This may need to be reversed on some brands of radios.) Selecting Battery Type When the ESC is powered up the color of the flashing LED determines which battery mode the ESC is currently programmed to. The modes are as follows: 2. Set the “throttle trim” to the CENTER position. Flashing red LED - Li-Po mode (cut off at 6.0V.) 3.
