Mounting the Speed Control

Mount the Tazer 15T ESC in the location speciﬁed by your

vehicles 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 Tazer 15T 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 and Futaba J systems.

• Older Airtronics or KO radio systems must use a

modiﬁed 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 (15 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.

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 ESC’s require a

shotky diode attached to the motor

for noise suppression. Be certain

there IS NOT a diode attached to the

motor when using the Tazer 15T 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 Tazer 15T comes pre-wired with a Tamiya style

connector, compatible with most battery packs. Use

battery packs from 4-cell (4.8 volt) to 7-cell (8.4volt) sub-

C size battery pack.

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

2. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the speed

controls battery connector.

Adjusting the Transmitter

NOTE: Refer to the radio instructions for speciﬁc

information on transmitter set-up.

1. Set the “throttle reversing” switch to the NORMAL

position. (This may need to be reversed on some

brands of radios).

2. Set the “throttle trim” to the CENTER position.

3. Set the “throttle exponential” to MINIMUM or ZERO.

4. Set the “ATV” to 100%.

5. If your transmitter has an adjustable trigger (or stick)

position, move it to the 70/30 position.

Speed Control Programming

NOTE: While in the programming mode, no

power is applied to the motor.

1. Turn on the transmitter’s power switch. (Be sure the

transmitter batteries are fully charged)

2. Turn the ESC switch on.

3. Press and release the set-up button with the included

programming tool. The red and green LEDs will light.

4. Move the throttle to the full throttle position and press

the programming button. The green LED will remain lit

and the red LED will go out. (If the ESC does not sense

throttle movement in 3 seconds by the transmitter, it

will exit the programming mode and you will have to

begin again).

5. Now move the throttle to full reverse and press the

programming button. The red LED will glow and the

green LED will go out.

6. Return the throttle stick to neutral and press the

programming button. The green LED will glow and

the red LED will go out, indicating programming is

complete.

During normal operation, the green LED indicates neutral

and the red LED indicates full forward and full reverse.
