The Cyclone & Atom are wired for connecting a FET Servo.
This type of servo requires a fourth wire connection. The
fourth wire from the servo is connected to the small, blue
24-gauge silicone wire
coming out of the ESC. In the
Cyclone, this wire supplies 6 volts of power to the servo and
is controlled by the speed control’s ON/OFF switch. In the
Atom, this wire supplies battery voltage to the servo, and is
also controlled by the speed control’s ON/OFF switch.

NOTE: Do not allow the blue FET servo wire to come in contact
with the chassis or battery terminal, as this may damage the
power switch, switch wires and the speed control’s PC board, con-
sequently voiding the product warranty.

If you experience radio glitching with the installation of the
FET servo, try installing a 10

µ

H inductor (usually supplied

with servo) in series with the blue wire as shown in Figure 15.
