[. . . ] AuxiliAry power OUtput The Mongoose ESC features a set of power output pins for running auxiliary cooling fans for motor or ESC cooling, or for detail items like scale 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. There are the 2 pins on the front edge of the circuit board--Positive (+) is on the left, and Negative (­) is on the right. The set of 3 pins behind them are for the user-replaceable input signal harness--The polarity of those is the same: Positive in the middle, Negative on the right, and the extra pin on the left is for the input signal. trouble-shooting guide SteeringChannelWorksButMotorWillNotRun · LiPo Cut-Off Circuitry acitivated­­Disconnect LiPo battery pack and re-charge.

System may appear to have failed when other problems exist. After reviewing instructions, if you feel that your ESC/system requires service, please obtain the most current product service options and pricing by the following ways: WEBSITE: Print a copy of the PRODUCT SERVICE FORM from the CUSTOMER SERVICE section of the website. Fill out the needed information on this form and return it with the Novak product that requires servicing. If using Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries, NEVER use fewer than 4 or more than 9 cells (1. 2VDC/cell) in the vehicle's main battery pack. If using LiPo batteries, ONLY use a 2-cell (2S) or 3-cell (3S) pack for the vehicle's main battery & be sure the correct LiPo Cut-Off programming option is turned ON. The Mongoose is designed for use with sensor-based Novak Brushless Motors. You may replace with any Novak Three-80 Micro Pro sensored motor. Reverse battery polarity can damage ESC & void warranty. [. . . ] Connect the BLUE ESC power wire to the NEGATIVE (­) Motor Tab. Connect the YELLOW ESC power wire to the POSITIVE (+) Motor Tab. · Using a small flat blade screwdriver, remove the red & black wires from the plastic JST connector at the receiver end of the input harness as in Figure 3 below. · Interchange the red and black wires in the plastic 3-pin connector housing at the receiver end of the input harness. · Insert modified end of the harness into the THROTTLE CHANNEL (#2) of receiver with the RED wire toward the outside edge of receiver case.
