brake light mounting brackets, JST connector harnesses,
double-sided mounting tape, heat shrink tubing and screws.
INSTALLING BRAKE LIGHTS
The Cyclone & Atom do not require an external receiver
battery pack for most racing situations. Built-in Radio Priority
Circuitry™ provides complete control of the steering servo
even after the main battery pack has "dumped" and can no
longer provide the power required to operate the motor.
However, applications using multiple high-powered servos,
and/or main battery packs with 8 (Cyclone only) or more cells
require the use of an external receiver battery pack to prevent
overloading of the ESC’s voltage regulator. Failure to use a
receiver battery pack in these applications may result in
damage to the voltage regulator and will void the product
warranty.
1. Plug an external 5-cell nickel cadmium (1.2 V DC/cell)
receiver battery pack into the battery slot of the receiver.
2. Leave the ESC’s ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. This
switch is not used with this configuration.
3. Use the ON/OFF switch on the external receiver battery
pack to turn the system power on and off.
