User manual NOVAK GOAT CRAWLER BRUSHLESS SYSTEM

[. . . ] AuxilliAry power OUtput The Goat ESC features a set of power output pins for running auxiliary cooling fans for motor or ESC cooling, or for detail items like a scale winch or lights, and they will switch on & off with the ESC's power switch. These pins output 6. 0 VDC (same as the BEC), so you will get maximum output from cooling fans without over-powering them by running directly from the battery pack's voltage. The pin-out label located on the front lower section of the ESC's case (under the pins, push button, & LEDs) shows the polarity of the power output pins. They are the 2 pins on the front edge of the circuit board--Positive (+) is on the left, and Negative (­) is on the right. [. . . ] You may replace with Novak sensored motors down to 18. 5 turns. In Brush-Mode, you may use down to a 27-turn stock brush motor. Reverse battery polarity can damage ESC & void warranty. Disconnect battery immediately if a reverse connection occurs. An external power capacitor is installed on ESC & MUST be used. Failure to use Capacitor will result in higher temperatures & possible thermal shut-down or damage. Always turn on the power of the transmitter first so that you will have control of the vehicle when you turn it on. With the higher performance of brushless systems, undesirable radio system noise may occur when used with lower quality transmitters (like some RTR radios). 30x30mm COOLING FANs [Novak kits #5648 & 5652] LEAD-FREE 3% SILVER SOLDER [Novak kit #5830] NOVAK BRUSHLESS MOTORS ONLY Cooling fans that fit ESC's heat sink perfectly & have correct power plug for easy connection. Single fan in Novak kit#5648, and 2-pack of fans in Novak kit #5651. High silver content for making ultra low-resistance solder joints for high efficiency and better performance.

NO REVERSE VOLTAGE! plastic tabs metal barbs metal socket on end of Teflon sensor harness wires POWER CAPACITOR REQUIRED TRANSMITTER ON FIRST product warranty The Goat Brushless/Brush Crawler 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). Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent short circuits, which can damage ESC. Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause damage to internal components of the speed control and result in premature failure.

However, some very old receivers must have the wiring sequence in the plastic 3-pin connector housing changed. This is important, because receiver & servo electronics may be damaged if the sequence is incorrect.

Airtronics Z receivers have blue plastic cases & new KO cases have tabs on the input harness openings as in Figure 1. · Plug one end of the input signal harness into the THROTTLE CHANNEL (#2) of receiver with the BLACK wire toward the outside edge of receiver case. · Plug the other end of the input harness into the 3-pin header on top of the ESC, with the WHITE wire toward the outside of the ESC. Novak brushless motors do not require external motor capacitors. Schottky diodes must NOT be used with reversible ESCs (including brushless). Schottky diode usage will damage the ESC & void warranty. [. . . ] Connect the speed control's Tamiya-style JST battery connector to a charged 4 to 7 cell (1. 2VDC/cell) or 2-cell LiPo battery pack. transmitter adjustments If you have any problems with Step 4, adjust transmitter as follows and then repeat the One-Touch programming in Step 4: A.

CONNECT MOTOR'S SENSOR HARNESS TO ESC Insert the 6-pin connector on the end of the motor's Teflon sensor wires into ESC's sensor harness socket--the connector is keyed and will only go together in one direction. Spiral wrap can be used to protect sensor wires. [. . . ]
