User manual NOVAK ROOSTER E-MAXX COMBO

[. . . ] E-MAXX COMBO Part #1855 ROOSTER E-Maxx COMBO The ROOSTERS are the long standing benchmark in reliable reversible speed controls for 6-7cell/mild-modified set-ups. With two Roosters installed in your Traxxas E-Maxx using the included Input Signal Y-Harness, the Rooster E-Maxx Combo lets you hop-up your E-Maxx with the ability to run standard 7. 2V (05 & 075 size) motors (stock Traxxas motors not recommended). You also get the added benefit of brakes before the engagement of reverse, and the Roosters feature Novak's Smart Braking CircuitryTM that brings the model to a slow speed before hitting reverse to save your vehicle's gearbox and reduce speed control heating. These speed controls feature the original One-Touch Set-Up (There's nothing easier!), exclusive Polar Drive TechnologyTM for the smoothest throttle response and improved radio system performance, and Reverse Disable CircuitryTM that locks-out reverse for racing or forward only use. [. . . ] The Rooster heat sinks come factory installed and must not be removed. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT HEAT SINKS The three banks of transistor tabs are separated by plastic on the case top. Each bank of heat sinks should never contact each other or other conductive objects (metal, etc. ), or they will short circuit and damage the speed control. Replacement Rooster heat sinks available in Novak kit #5409. STEP 4 TRANSMITTER ADJUSTMENTS For proper speed control operation and programming set transmitter adjustments as follows: 1. Set HIGH ATV or EPA to maximum setting. [Amount of throw at full throttle] TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE This section describes possible speed control problems, causes, and solutions. Steering Channel Works But Motor Will Not Run · Speed control has thermally shut down­­Allow ESCs to cool down­­Use milder motors or smaller pinion gears. · One motor wired backwards­­Check wiring and reverse. · Make sure ESCs are plugged into Y-Harness and Y-Harness plugged into throttle channel of receiver. Check throttle channel operation with a servo. Check wiring color sequence of receiver signal harness. · Possible internal damage­­Refer to Service Procedures. 2. Set LOW ATV, EPA, or ATL to maximum setting. [Amount of throw at full brakes] 3. Set EXPONENTIAL to zero setting. [Throttle channel linearity] 4. Set THROTTLE CHANNEL TRIM to middle setting. [Adjusts neutral position/Increases or decreases coast brakes] 5. Set THROTTLE CHANNEL REVERSING SWITCH to either position. [Do not change switch position after programming] Receiver Glitches/Throttle Stutters During Acceleration · Motor capacitors broken or missing­­Refer to Step 3. · Receiver or antenna too close to speed controls, power wires, batteries, or motors­­Refer to Step 2. · Bad connections­­Check wiring and connectors. · Motor brushes worn­­Replace brushes. · Excessive current to motors­­Use milder motors or smaller pinion gears. 2. INSTALL ON/OFF SWITCHES Determine a convenient place to mount the switches where they will be easy to get to. Mount the switches using double-sided tape or with screws through the hole in the base of the switch housings. In our install, we mounted the switches to the E-Maxx's stock switch holes with the screws that held in the E-Maxx switch. In this location, just ahead of the left rear tire, the switches are easy to get to without removing the body. RECEIVER NOTES If you are not using the stock E-Maxx receiver, be sure to mount the receiver as far from the motor, power wires, battery, and servo as possible (stock position works well). [. . . ] Plug the bullet connector on the BLUE wire of the first speed control to negative of the first motor. Plug the bullet connector on the YELLOW wire of the second speed control to positive of the second motor. Plug the bullet connector on the BLUE wire of the second speed control to negative of the second motor. Again, we found that connecting the left side ESC to the right side motor & battery in the truck works best. TIP: Twist BLUE & YELLOW motor wires once or twice as they go to the motor to reduce any radio noise emitted from power wires. PRODUCT WARRANTY Each Rooster ESC is guaranteed to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of 120 days from original date of purchase (verified by dated, itemized sales receipt). Warranty does not cover incorrect installation, components worn by use, damage from using fewer than 6 or more than 7 cells (1. 2 volts DC/cell) input voltage, short-circuiting heat sinks, cross-connection of the battery/motor, using the same-gender connectors on ESC, removing JST/Tamiya connector or heat sink or using motors with fewer than 14 turns with E-Maxx, reverse voltage application, damage resulting from thermal overload, damage from excessive force while installing or not using heat sinks, not installing three 0. 1µF (50V) capacitors on motors, splices to input or switch harnesses, damage from disassembling case or excessive force when using One-Touch button, tampering with internal electronics, allowing water, moisture, or other foreign material to enter ESC or get onto PC board, incorrect installation/wiring of input plug plastic, external receiver battery pack, or FET servo, allowing exposed wiring to short-circuit, use of a Schottky diode, or any damage caused by crash, flooding, or act of God.
