lead (short lead) marked with a stripe and minus (–) sign. The
positive lead (long lead) is unmarked.
Two methods of connecting a power capacitor to both the
Atom and Cyclone are:
METHOD ONE: Solder Power Capacitor to Solder Posts
Refer to Figures 8 & 9
Using some of the supplied mounting tape, attach the power
capacitor to the side of the speed control so the negative lead
can be soldered to the solder post marked BLK and the posi-
tive lead can be soldered to the post marked RED. For
protection, slide a piece of small vinyl tubing (included) over
each lead of the power capacitor. Solder the power capaci-
tor leads to the appropriate solder posts.
STEP 3: Hook-Up Instructions (continued)
METHOD TWO: Solder Power Capacitor to Power Wires
Refer to Figure 10
Solder the power capacitor to the black (negative) and red
(positive) power wires. Although the capacitor can be
connected to the power wires anywhere from the speed
control to the battery, the closer it is to the speed control, the
more effective the power capacitor will be.
