WATER & ELECTRONICS DON’T MIX!

Allowing water, moisture or other foreign materials to get inside ESC will void warranty.

MUST BE 14 YEARS OR OLDER TO OPERATE

Strict adult supervision is required for use by children under 14 years of age.

THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION IS TURNED ON

Thermal overload circuitry is ACTIVE -- Heavy BEC loading may trigger protective circuitry!

SENSOR-BASED BRUSHLESS MOTORS ONLY

This ESC is designed for use with sensor-based Novak Brushless Motors. You may

replace with any 2 or 4-pole sensor-based motors (540, 550, or 15-Series size).

NEVER USE SCHOTTKY DIODES WITH BRUSHLESS ESCs!

Schottky diodes are never to be used with brushless ESCs.

Do not use Schottky diodes with this ESC!

DO NOT FREE REV & BRAKE WITHOUT A LOAD!

This includes running motor without a pinion or holding the car in the air and

running the motor at or close to full power then applying full brakes.

Free revving & braking will void the warranty!

2-4S LiPo CELLS ONLY

If using LiPo batteries, NEVER use more than a 4 cell (4S) pack for the vehicle’s main

battery & be sure the Voltage Cut-Off option is turned ON (refer to Track Guide).

If using NiCd or NiMH batteries, disable Voltage Cut-Off Circuitry (refer to Track Guide).

GOOD QUALITY RADIO & LiPo BATTERIES SUGGESTED

Undesirable radio noise may occur when using lower quality radio systems. 2.4GHz radio

system use is best; high quality FM system is acceptable; AM systems are NOT recommended.

LiPo’s that can’t supply the required amperage can damage electronics & voids warranty.

UNPLUG BATTERY WHEN NOT IN USE & SWITCH ESC OFF

Always disconnect batteries from ESC to avoid short circuits and possible ﬁre hazard.

ALWAYS SWITCH OFF ESC BEFORE CONNECTING BATTERY

If battery is connected with ESC switch in ON position, serious damage can occur.

DO NOT CHANGE BATTERY WIRE COLORS

Avoid the risk of improper power connection that will damage ESC & voids warranty.

TRANSMITTER ON FIRST

Always turn on the power of the transmitter ﬁrst so that you will have control of the

vehicle when you turn it on.

NO REVERSE VOLTAGE!

Reverse battery polarity can damage ESC immediately & will void the warranty!

Insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent short circuits.

POWERCAPS REQUIRED/GLITCH BUSTER SUGGESTED

This ESC features factory-installed on-board PowerCaps and they MUST be used to

avoid high ESC temperatures & possible damage.

Use of an optional Glitch Buster capacitor helps with heavy BEC loading.

DO NOT BUNDLE POWER & SIGNAL WIRES TOGETHER

RF noise in the power wires can adversely effect radio system performance.

NO CA GLUE

Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause damage to internal components of the

ESC and result in premature failure.

product warranty

This Brushless ESC is guaranteed to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for

a period of 120 days from the original date of purchase (veriﬁed by dated, itemized sales

receipt). Warranty does not cover incorrect installation, components worn by use, damage

to case or exposed circuit boards, damage from using more than 4 LiPo cells input voltage,

damage resulting from using LiPo batteries without Smart-Stop voltage cut-off circuitry

active, using insufﬁcient LiPo batteries that cannot supply the amperage required by this

system, damage resulting from thermal overload or excessive BEC loading or disabling

Thermal Protection Circuitry, overheating solder tabs, cross-connection of battery/motor

power wires, reverse voltage application, improper use or installation of external BEC,

damage from incorrect installation of FET servo or receiver battery pack, damage due to

free revving motor then applying full brakes, damage due to short-circuiting motor or

using a non-Novak motor or a non-sensored motor, not using factory-installed power

capacitors, incorrect installation of a PowerCap or operating ESC with damaged power

capacitors, using a Schottky diode, splices to input, ON/OFF switch, or sensor harnesses,

replacing power wires with all same color wires, damage from excessive force when

using the One-Touch/SET button or from disassembling case, tampering with internal

electronics, allowing water, moisture, or any other foreign material to enter ESC or get

onto the PC board, incorrect installation/wiring of input plug plastic, allowing exposed

wiring or solder tabs to short-circuit, or any damage caused by a crash, ﬂooding, or natural

disaster. Melted speed controls or motors are not covered by the warranty.

Because Novak has no control over the connection & use of the speed control or other

related electronics, no liability may be assumed nor will be accepted for any damage

resulting from the use of this product. Every Novak speed control & motor is thoroughly

tested & cycled before leaving our facility and is, therefore, considered operational. By

the act of connecting/operating speed control, user accepts all resulting liability. In no

case shall our liability exceed the product’s original cost. We reserve the right to modify

warranty provisions without notice. This product is not intended for use by children

under 14 years of age without the strict supervision of an adult. Use of this product in

an uncontrolled manner may result in physical damage or injuries—take extra care when

operating any remote control vehicle. Designed by Novak Electronics, Inc. in Irvine, CA

and assembled with globally sourced components.

VOLTAGE cUt-OFF circuitry

When active (see Track Guide to turn ON/OFF), the built-in Novak Smart-Stop

Auto-Detect Voltage Cut-Off Circuitry lets you safely use 2S-4S Lithium Polymer

(LiPo) battery packs by cutting off the speed control’s throttle output when the

critical safety voltages are reached.

The cut-off circuitry monitors the battery pack voltage and automatically selects

a 2S, 3S, or 4S cut-off voltage value. When the ESC detects that the critical safety

voltage value will soon be reached, it begins cutting back the level of the throttle

output in order to prevent the battery’s voltage from reaching the critical level

that can result in irreversible cell damage.

When the critical voltage is reached, the throttle output to the motor gets

completely shut down to keep the voltage from dropping further.

Re-charge battery after Smart-Stop circuitry shuts off throttle

Even though the pack’s voltage will rise

(after a short resting period)

to a level high

enough to run motor again, this is not good for LiPo or LiFe batteries.

Reaching critical safety voltage too many times can damage the cells.

DO NOT CONTINUE TO RUN VEHICLE AFTER THE SMART-STOP

CIRCUITRY HAS SHUT DOWN THE THROTTLE OUTPUT.

When ESC is switched ON, the Yellow & Red LEDs will ﬂash together 2 to

4 times to indicate LiPo/LiFe Cut-Off is ACTIVE and # of cells connected.

With the Voltage Cut-Off turned ON & using NiCd or NiMH cells, the circuitry will shut off

the ESC’s throttle output very early into the run, due to the different characteristics of these

batteries. Change the ESC’s Cut-Off Circuitry mode to OFF to use these batteries.

See CUSTOM PROGRAMMING OPTIONS on Track Guide to properly adjust this setting.

OPTIONAL RECEIVER PACK USAGE

Wiring and cooling fan

This section shows the polarity of the ESC’s output pins. The included receiver

harness has an industry standard JST plug on both the ESC and the receiver end

of it. Before connecting the receiver harness to ESC or receiver, note their wiring

sequences--the sequence of the ESC’s header pins is shown below.

The ESC’s heat sink is designed to accept a 40x40mm cooling fan, and comes

with M3 x 20 screws to secure the fan into it. To install, simply center the fan on

the ESC and gently screw the included screws through the “X” shaped fan guard

and down into the gap of the heat sink’s ﬁns--install guard with the counter-bored

screw holes on top for the fan screws to sit ﬂushly down into. Install the fan’s power

connector onto the fan output pins on the ESC--note polarity as shown below.

w w w . t e a m n o v a k . c o m

NOVAK HIGHLY-RECOMMENDS the use of an external receiver battery pack

to supply power to the electronics when using extremely high-power servos,

as these servos put excessive load on the speed control’s internal BEC.

Using an external reciever pack will greatly increase life span of

your ESC, as this is a leading cause of speed control failure.

To use an External Receiver Battery Pack to Power the Electronics:

1. Plug the 5 cell (1.2 VDC/Cell) receiver battery pack into the battery slot

(or

any open/unused channel)

of the receiver.

2. Remove the red wire from ESC’s input receiver harness

(insulate the red wire)

3. To turn the vehicle ON, switch the receiver pack’s power switch ON. Then,

turn the ESC’s power switch ON.

To turn vehicle OFF, turn ESC’s switch OFF, then turn receiver pack’s switch OFF.
