User manual NOVAK SS5800

[. . . ] · NOVAK MOTORS WITH NOVAK ESCs ONLY The SS series of motors have been specially designed for use with sensorbased Novak Brushless ESCs Only!Use any Novak sensored motor with any Novak brushless ESC as long as the ESC has a higher wattage rating than the motor. · INSULATE WIRES Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing to prevent short circuits. · NO SOLVENTS Exposing the motor to any type of solvents can damage the exposed material. GEAR SELECTION (Important) SS5800 Motor With the SS5800 motor start with 2 teeth lower pinion gear than you would use with a 27 turn "stock" brush-type motor. SENSOR HARNESS WIRING Should any of the 26G Teflon wires pull out of the connector on the end of the motor's sensor harness, replace them into the appropriate slot in the connector as shown below. [. . . ] · Hobby dealers or distributors are not authorized to replace Novak products thought to be defective. · If a hobby dealer returns your product for service, submit a completed product SERVICE FORM to the dealer and make sure it is included with the items. Novak brushless motors are guaranteed to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of 120 days from the original date of purchase (verified by dated, itemized sales receipt). Warranty does not cover incorrect installation, components worn by use, cross-connection of battery/motor power wires, overheating solder tabs, damage resulting from thermal overload, splices to sensor harness, damage from disassembling motor, tampering with internal electronics, allowing water, moisture, or any other foreign material to enter motor or get onto the PC board, allowing exposed wiring or solder tabs to short-circuit, or any damage caused by a crash, flooding, or act of God. In no case shall our liability exceed the product's original cost. 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. [. . . ] 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. Lay the stripped & tinned end of the wire flat on the PCB solder tab and use soldering iron to heat the end of the wire, and add solder to form a clean solder joint between the wire and the tab. IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT OVERHEAT SOLDER TABS Prolonged/excessive heating of solder tabs will damage PCB.
