Novak heat shrink tubing is 6" long and available in six sizes: 1/16" - 3/8". 6 piece assortment in Novak kit #5850, and 24 piece assortment in Novak kit #5851. Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent short circuits, which can damage the ESC. Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause damage to internal components of the ESC and result in premature failure. INSULATE WIRES NO CA GLUE P1 step 1­connect input harness The GTB 2 ESC has a userreplaceable input harness with a 2mm mini plug on the ESC end of it and the industrystandard connector on the receiver end of it. The GTB 2 ESC works with all major radio brand's new receivers [Refer to Figure 1 to see how to connect the included user-replaceable input harness]. However, some very old receivers must have the wiring sequence in the plastic 3-pin JST connector housing changed on the receiver end. step 3­Wire ESC to Motor The GTB 2 is compatible with all Novak 540 and 550-sized brushless sensored motors. INSTALL PINION GEAR Tighten pinion's set screw on flat of motor shaft. You NEED a small amount of play between the pinion gear and the spur gear (about the thickness of a piece of paper)­check the free play at several positions around the spur gear to ensure a proper mesh (just in case the gears are out of round). STEP 5-one-touch programming With ESC connected to (at least) a receiver and a charged battery pack: 1. TURN ON THE SPEED CONTROL'S POWER With transmitter throttle at neutral, and still pressing the SET button, slide the ESC's ON/OFF switch to ON position. transmitter adjustments Transmitter adjustments may not be required to properly complete the One-Touch programming of the speed control. However, should you have any problems completing the ONE-TOUCH PROGRAMMING, adjust the settings on your transmitter as listed below, then repeat the ONE-TOUCH PROGRAMMING as described in Step 5. THROTTLE CHANNEL ADJUSTMENTS A. Set THROTTLE CHANNEL TRIM to middle setting. [adjusts neutral position/increases or decreases coast brakes] 30% brake throw (or 7:3)­best for racing ESCs. Set to 50% throttle and 50% brake for full time use with reverse to get the best performance in reverse. [adjusts trigger throw electronic/digital pistol-grip transmitters] throttle and 1/3 brake throw. [adjusts trigger throw mechanical/analog pistol-grip transmitters] 4. PULL TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO FULL-ON POSITION Hold it there until the green status LED turns solid green. Note: Motor will not run during programming even if connected.

FM radio systems are acceptable, as long as the system is high quality. To connect the GTB 2 to the main battery pack using connectors, we suggest low-loss high power connectors like Dean's Ultra Plug. · Use polarized connectors. · Use a female connector on battery packs to avoid shorting.
