CYCLONE & ATOM INSTRUCTION MANUAL

The following information will help ensure that the Atom
and Cyclone perform at maximum efficiency, and will
minimize the chances of overheating and radio interference.

1. DETERMINE THE BEST ESC MOUNTING LOCATION

To prevent radio interference, the speed control should be
positioned away from the receiver and antenna as shown
in the Cyclone/Atom Hook-Up Photo (Figure 11).
Choose a mounting position where the power wires will
not obstruct movement of the T-Bar or suspension.
Although heat sinks are not required, cooler operating
temperatures mean higher efficiency, so pick a mounting
position to allow maximum airflow through the transistors.

2. INSTALL THE SPEED CONTROL

Mount the speed control with the included double-sided
tape to isolate it from shock and vibration.

3. INSTALL THE SPEED CONTROL’S ON/OFF SWITCH

Determine a convenient place to mount the switch where
it will be easily accessible. Mount the switch using a piece
of double-sided tape or a screw.

4. INSTALL THE RECEIVER

Mount the receiver as far from the ESC, motor, power wires,
battery, and servo as possible. These components emit radio
noise when the throttle is applied. If you have a graphite or
aluminum chassis, place the receiver on edge with the crystal
and antenna away from the chassis. Use the double-sided
tape provided to mount and isolate from shock and vibration.
