[. . . ] If the BLUE, YELLOW, and RED LEDs light up one after another as the motor's shaft is rotated, the Hall Sensors in the motor are operating normally. If any one of the BLUE, YELLOW, or RED status LEDs do not light while rotating the motor's shaft, there is a either a problem with the Sensor Harness Cable (or its connections either at the motor end or the ESC end) or with the actual Hall Effect Sensors in the motor's timing section. If your motor has a user-replaceable double-ended sensor harness, replace it with another one to determine if this is this source of the problem. If, after replacing the harness, all three of the LEDs still do not light up, it would appear that one of the sensors inside the motor has been damaged--replace the timing section of your motor, or if your motor is not user-rebuildable, send it in the manufacturer for the appropriate service. The Havoc Pro SC Racing Brushless ESC (Novak part number #1745) is factory loaded with over a dozen programmable features. While this may seem overwhelming at first glance, this Havoc Pro SC Track Guide was designed to keep with you at the track to use as a quick-reference and help walk you through the programming of all of the speed control's features. Take the time to thoroughly read through this programming guide before operation to fully understand the different ESC parameters, and how they can be used to fine tune your ESC's feel and performance. Most importantly, enjoy all of the technical benefits and features the Havoc Pro SC ESC has to offer.

Motor and Steering Servo Do Not Work one-touch programming With the ESC connected to (at least) a charged battery pack, the receiver, and the brushless motor's sensor harness: timing esc warning Due to the nature of timing advance speed controls, motor tolerances & settings, vehicle performance, and track conditions, it has become virtually impossible to provide installation and operation recommendations that will allow you to use these speed controls and motors at their highest performance levels without the potential for unwanted damage. You must, use extreme caution when setting up these electronics and carefully test your application to avoid overloading and overheating either the speed control or the motor. These are racing electronics used in racing conditions, and therefore damage as the result of excessive overheating will not be covered under the product's factory warranty. Electronic motor timing advancement can generate extrememly high speeds and result in an uncontrollable vehicle. Use caution when operating vehicle and do not operate around other people or in an unsafe manner to avoid injuries or damage. Motor Runs Backward Timing Does Not Operate Properly 1. While connected to a battery and powered ON, simply tap the ESC's SET button and one of the on-board LED lights will flash 4 times to indicate the operating temperature of the speed control. WHITE flashing LED = normal operating temp--under 135°F (57°C). BLUE flashing LED = medium operating temp--136-147°F (58-64°C). YELLOW flashing LED = hot operating temp--148-167°F (65-75°C). GREEN flashing LED = hotter operating temp--168-194°F (76-90°C). RED flashing LED = hottest operating temp--195-215°F (91-102°C). You are now pushing the ESC extremely hard and should be very careful to avoid overheating and possible thermal shut-down. All LEDs flashing = DANGEROUS operating temp--216-239°F (103-115°C). Your ESC is now about to thermally shut-down. THROTTLE CHANNEL ADJUSTMENTS A.
