Thank you for choosing the Dynamite

brand.

Your satisfaction is our number one priority. With

this in mind, we have produced this product 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 R/C project.

• High-power FET control with proportion

forward and reverse

• High-frequency design delivers smooth speed

transition

• Programmable Reverse Delay helps save

transmission gears by waiting up to a full

second after braking before engaging

reverse power

• Thermal Overload Protection prevents

damage due to over-current conditions that

automatically resets

• Prewired with Tamiya battery plug, bullet-style

motor connectors, and universal receiver plug

that fit JR, Futaba J and Hi-Tec radios

• Designed to operate with stock to mild

modified motors (15 turns or higher)

• One-touch programming makes setup a breeze

Mount the Tazer 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.

If your vehicle is equipped with a precut On/Off

switch location, use the supplied screws and

switchplate to secure it in place. If no such

location exists, use double-sided foam tape to

secure the side of the switch to a convenient

location on the chassis or shock tower.

Note: The Tazer uses the motor battery to

supply power to the receiver. There is no

need for a separate receiver battery.

(See Figure 1)

• See your radio’s instruction manual for proper

connection. Typically, channel 2 is used to

control the throttle.

• There are three 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 jeweler’s

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. Reference the wire colors on

the steering servo for proper polarity.

If the motor you are using (15 turns or more)

does not have three capacitors already attached,

you must install them. The supplied monolithic

capacitors help prevent motor noise, which

lessens radio glitches.

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. A high-

wattage soldering iron may

be necessary. (See Figure 4)

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 shotky diode

attached to the motor for

noise suppression. Be certain there is not a diode

attached to the motor when using the Tazer

™

any other reversing electronic speed control.

If your motor has preattached male bullet

connectors, press the red 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.

If your motor does not

have male bullet connectors,

you may purchase them

from your local hobby

shop “Motor Connector

Wire DLR1055.” Solder

the motor wires as shown.

(See Figure 6)

Caution: To detour glitches caused by

radio frequency noise, route all wires and

the receiver antenna away from motor

leads. Secure with tie wraps (not included).

The Tazer comes prewired with a Tamiya-style

connector, compatible with most battery packs.

Use either a 6-cell (7.2-volt) or 7-cell (8.4-volt)

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.

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).

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.

The Tazer offers two programming options.

Option A

Proportional forward with brakes for one second

then proportional reverse.

Option B

Proportional forward and proportional reverse

(no delay).

Programming brakes with Time-Delay

Reverse Mode (Option A)

1. Turn on the transmitter’s power switch.

Be sure the transmitter batteries are fully

charged.

2. Place the vehicle in position to allow the

wheels to move freely or disconnect one of

the motor wires from the motor.

3. Turn the ESC switch on. 4. Press and hold the Setup button until the LED flashes (about 2 seconds), then release the button while the LED is flashing. 5. Move the throttle to the full throttle position and hold until the LED turns green. (If the LED turns red, the throttle reversing switch needs to be reversed on the transmitter and the programming process started from Step 2.
