Old Sanwa/Airtronics cases are black in color. Old KO cases do not have the tab openings, as in Figure 2 above. · Interchange the red and black wires in the plug plastic of the ESC's input harness as shown below. · Insert the input plug into the receiver with the RED wire toward the outside edge of the receiver case. twist motor wires to reduce RF noise (­) trail excess wire off top of antenna mast motor leads (yellow connector) black wire 280 size motor maximum (+) red wire three 0. 1µF capacitors ·NO SCHOTTKY· www. teamnovak. com STEP 3 CONNECTING ELECTRONICS STEP 4 TRANSMITTER ADJUSTMENTS ·NOT ALL TRANSMITTERS HAVE THESE ADJUSTMENTS· TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE Steering Channel Works But Motor Will Not Run · Speed control has thermally shut down­­Allow ESC to cool down­­Use milder motor or smaller pinion gear. · Make sure ESC is plugged into the throttle channel of receiver.

CHECK MOTOR CAPACITOR INSTALLATION Electric motors generate radio noise that can interfere with your receiver and cause radio problems. Three 0. 1µF (50V) non-polarized, ceramic capacitors are included and must be installed on every motor to help reduce the noise generated by the motor and to prevent ESC damage. If your motor does not have all 3 capacitors shown below, they must be added (0. 1µF capacitors are also available in Novak kit #5620). 0. 1µF (50V) capacitors should be soldered between: · POSITIVE (+) motor tab & NEGATIVE (-) motor tab. · POSITIVE (+) motor tab & GROUND (motor can). · NEGATIVE (-) motor tab & GROUND (motor can).
