Waterproof coMponent
Your new Horizon Hobby ™ Dynamite ® Tazer ™ Sensorless Brushless ESC has been designed and built to allow you to operate the product in
many "wet conditions", including puddles, creeks, wet grass, snow and even rain.
While waterproof, this component has not been designed to be immersed in water for long periods of time and should NOT be treated like a
submarine. In addition, most metal parts, including any screws and nuts, as well as the contacts in the electrical cables, will be susceptible to
corrosion if additional maintenance is not performed after running in wet conditions.
To maximize the long-term performance of your Dynamite Tazer Sensorless Brushless ESC and to keep the warranty intact, it should only be
used as described in the "Usage Conditions" section of this manual. Additionally, the procedures described in the "Wet Conditions Mainte-
nance" section must be performed regularly if you choose to run in wet conditions. If you are not willing to perform the additional care and
maintenance required, then you should not operate your vehicle in those conditions.
caution: Failure to exercise caution while using this product and comply with the following precautions could result in product
malfunction and/or void the warranty.
General precautionS
• Read through the wet conditions maintenance procedures and make sure that you have all the tools you will need to properly maintain your
Dynamite Tazer Sensorless Brushless ESC.
• Do not operate your Dynamite Tazer Sensorless Brushless ESC where it could come in contact with salt water (ocean water or water on
salt-covered roads), contaminated or polluted water. Salt water is very conductive and highly corrosive, so use caution.
uSaGe conditionS
Your Dynamite Tazer Sensorless Brushless ESC will operate successfully in any of the following, individual-usage scenarios:
• 2 hours continuous operation in dew-covered (damp) grass or vegetation.
• 2 hours continuous operation in heavy fog (95% humidity, saturated air, condensing water).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light rain (< 0.10 in/2.5mm per hour).
• 15 minutes continuous operation in heavy rain (> 0.30 in/7.6mm per hour).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light sleet (< 0.10 in/2.5mm per hour).
• 1 hour continuous operation in light snow (< 0.25 in/6.35mm per hour).
• 45 minutes continuous operation in standing or running fresh water (the water level should always remain below the vehicle frame), or
constant splashing water, without any immersion of waterproof component(s).
• 5 minutes continuous operation in standing or running fresh water (the water level should never rise higher than 0.5 in (about 10 mm)
above the vehicle frame), constant splashing water, or frequent, intermittent immersion of waterproof component(s).
• 1 hour continuous operation in damp sand, dirt, mud or snow (the material level should always be below the vehicle frame), constant splat-
ter without any immersion or coverage of waterproof component(s).
Furthermore, when appropriate maintenance procedures (as described below) are performed promptly following exposure, the Dynamite Tazer
Sensorless Brushless ESC will remain best protected from corrosion or other long-term, water-related damage.
Wet conditionS Maintenance
• Gently rinse the mud and dirt off the Dynamite Tazer Sensorless Brushless ESC with a garden hose.
• Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts.
• If you have an air compressor or a can of compressed air available, blow off the Dynamite Tazer Sensorless Brushless ESC to help remove
any water that may have gotten into small crevices or corners. Dry any water that may be inside a recessed connector housing.
• Let the Dynamite Tazer Sensorless Brushless ESC air dry before you store it. Water may continue to seep or evaporate out of tight areas for
a few hours.
notice: Never use a pressure washer to clean your vehicle.
this eSc is waterproofed for use in wet conditions. Make sure the other components in your vehicle are waterproof or
waterresistant before driving in wet conditions.
Thank you for choosing the Dynamite ® brand. We know that you, the customer, are the reason we are in business. Your satisfaction is our
number one priority. With this in mind, we have produced this product to be of the highest quality, performance and reliability, and at a "value
packed" price. We hope it provides you with hours of enjoyment in your next RC project.

deScriptionS
1 running Mode
Forward Only with Brake
Intended for competition use, this mode allows only forward and brake controls.
Forward/Reverse with Brake
This mode is the basic all-around mode, allowing forward, reverse and brake controls. To engage reverse while moving forward, apply the
brake until the vehicle has come to a complete stop, release brake, then apply the brake again. While braking or in reverse, engaging the
throttle will result in the vehicle immediately accelerating forward.
2 drag Brake force
Adjusts the amount of brake automatically applied when the throttle is returned to the neutral position. This simulates the engine braking effect
of a full-scale vehicle, allowing improved turn-in and your vehicle's general response to controls.
3 low Voltage cutoff
This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC continuously monitors the battery's voltage. If the voltage falls below the voltage
threshold for 2 seconds, the output power shuts off and the red LED flashes twice repeatedly.
The cutoff threshold calculation is based on individual Li-Po cell voltage. For Ni-MH batteries, if the voltage battery pack is higher than 9.0V,
it will be treated as a 3-cell Li-Po battery pack; if it is lower than 9.0V, it will be treated as a 2-cell Li-Po battery pack. Example: for a 8.0V
Ni-MH battery pack used with a 2.6V/cell threshold, it will be treated as a 2-cell Li-Po battery pack and the low-voltage cut-off threshold will
be 5.2V (2.6x2=5.2). Using the optional Digital Program Box (DYN3748), you can adjust the custom values for the cutoff threshold. Unlike the
preset values, custom cutoff values are for the total battery voltage, not individual cell voltage.
4 Start Mode (punch)
Sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. Level 1 gives a very soft initial acceleration and level 4 gives a stronger initial ac-
celeration.
5 Max Brake force
Brushless
Adjusts the maximum braking force. A higher value provides stronger braking, but can also cause the wheels to lock, resulting in loss of
