User manual NOVAK SS4300

[. . . ] Be sure to check the operating temperature of the ESC after making any gearing adjustments--the Super Sport ESC is designed to operate comfortably between 160ºF and 180ºF (this is warmer than typical brush-type ESC temperatures). If you had a low turn modified brush-type motor in your vehicle before switching to the Super Sport system, and you do not change the gearing, you will be under-geared and the vehicle will be slow at top speed!

[. . . ] has no control over the connection and use of the motor or other related electronics, no liability may be assumed nor will be accepted for damage resulting from the use of this product. Every motor is thoroughly tested and cycled before leaving our facility and is, therefore, considered operational. By the act of connecting/operating speed control, the user accepts all resulting liability. Higher final drive ratios give longer run time at the expense of top speed. Lower ratios result in higher ESC temperatures--too low may result in thermal shut-down. VEHICLE Losi XXX Buggy Losi XXX-4 Buggy Losi XXX-T Truck Assoc.

Note: Due to lower Kv rating, the SS4300 will not reach RPM limit in Profiles 5&6. WIRING MOTOR TO ESC · Solder power wires at motor by stripping 1/8-1/4" of insulation from the end of the motor power wire (14G). Tightly twist strands of wire, lightly tin, and insert into proper solder tab's hole (tabs are identified by lettering that is engraved in the end cap of the motor--see photo below). Use soldering iron to apply heat to exposed wire that is extending past bottom of PCB, and begin adding solder to tip of soldering iron and to wire. Add just enough solder to form a clean & continuous joint from the plated area of solder tab up onto the wire. Use side cutters to trim remaining (now soldered) wire from below the solder tab (about 1/16" above PCB)--make sure no strands of wire have strayed to an adjacent solder tab as this can result in short-circuiting & damage to the electronics, which will void the product's warranty. MOTOR CAPACITORS & SCHOTTKY NOT NEEDED Novak brushless motors have built-in motor capacitors, and like all reversible ESCs, does not use an external Schottky diode--Schottky diodes damage reversible ESCs. CHECK MOTOR SCREW LENGTH Insert the M3 motor mounting screws that came with your vehicle through the motor mounting plate in vehicle. You need to have no more than 1/8" of screw extending past the vehicle's mounting plate (2-4mm). Too little can strip the threads in the end bell, and any more will cause shortcircuiting/damage inside the motor & will void warranty. INSTALL PINION GEAR (see GEAR SELECTION on back) Install pinion gear on motor and position set-screw over flat on end of shaft. Test fit motor in vehicle to align pinion and spur gears, then tighten pinion gear on shaft. INSTALL MOTOR IN VEHICLE · Determine the best routing for sensor harness & motor power wire. [. . . ] Replacement motor bearings & front end bell are available in Novak kit #5905. · Note: Power wires can also be soldered flat onto the PCB solder tabs. Strip 3/16-1/4" of insulation from the end of the new wire. Tightly twist strands of wire, and tin with solder. [. . . ]
