77 The Sabertooth 2x10 R/C was primarily designed to be connected to a remote
78 control receiver. It has a BEC (battery elimination circuit) that puts
79 5vdc on the red wires to power the receiver. Because the BotBoarduino has
80 its own power supply, it is necessary to bypass the BEC.</font>
81 <p><font size="2" face="Verdana">Use an exacto knife to <b>carefully</b>
82 pry the black tab up and slip the red wire out of the black housing as
