TO CONNECT BRAKE LIGHTS TO THE CYCLONE
Refer to Figure 16
1. Strip about 1/4" of insulation off both the small (26-gauge)
red & black brake light wires that exit the side of the Cyclone.
2. Remove the insulation from the JST harness that is pre-
stripped at the end of the wire and slip the heat shrink
tubing over each wire.
3. Connect the JST harness to the brake light wires of the
speed control by twisting or soldering the two wires. Con-
nect the black (negative) JST wire to the black 26-gauge
ESC wire, and the red (positive) JST wire to the red
26-gauge ESC wire. If you are using two LEDs, connect both
of the red wires from the JST harnesses to the ESC’s small red
wire. Do the same for the small black wire.
4. Slide the heat shrink tubing over the twisted or soldered
wire connection. Heat the shrink tubing with a heat gun,
lighter, or hair dryer to insulate the connection. This will
protect the ESC from a shorting if wires are left exposed.
5. Insert the LED into the mounting bracket so the two metal
leads go into the large opening, then through two of the
small holes on the back of the bracket. The metal lead on
the flat side of the LED is the positive lead.
6. Connect the JST connector to the LED leads with the posi-
tive (flat side) lead going to the side of the JST connector
marked RED, and the negative lead (opposite flat side)
going to the side of the JST connector marked BLK.
Connecting the LED backwards will not cause damage, but
the LED will not illuminate.
