[. . . ] INSTRUCTION MANUAL STEP 1 SUPER SPORT SET-UP CHANGING ESC'S INPUT HARNESS STEP 2 SUPER SPORT SET-UP MOUNTING SPEED CONTROL Part #3005 The Super Sport ESC comes with the industry standard connector on a user-replaceable input harness. However, with some older style receivers, the wiring sequence in the plastic connector must be changed. This is an important step, because the receiver electronics may be damaged if the sequence is incorrect. 1. DETERMINE BEST ESC MOUNTING LOCATION Choose a mounting position that keeps power wires away from the receiver and antenna, and will provide maximum airflow over heat sinks for proper cooling. [. . . ] HOLD ESC'S SET BUTTON UNTIL RED LED IS ON Continue pressing SET button until the Super Sport's red status LED turns solid red. 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. 8. USE SPIRAL WRAP TO BUNDLE/PROTECT WIRES The included plastic spiral wrap can be used to protect the 6 Teflon sensor harness wires between the ESC & motor. You can also use the included spiral wrap and tie-wraps to bundle the sensor harness & power wires neatly together. 7. PUSH TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO FULL-BRAKES Hold it there until the green status LED blinks green. RETURN TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO NEUTRAL Amber, green, & red status LEDs will turn on solid, indicating that proper programming has been completed. ESC returns to neutral and red status LED will turn on solid. NOTE: If transmitter settings are changed, programming must be repeated. 4. 5" harness in Novak kit #5315, and 9. 0" harness in kit #5320. **Unlimited RPM is based upon motor's rating. *Unlimited acceleration refers to acceleration only being limited by the quality of the batteries used. Fixed acceleration is accomplished by only allowing a factory programmed acceleration rate--all Super Sport ESCs are programmed with the same fixed acceleration rate for programs 5 & 6. 5. PULL TRANSMITTER THROTTLE IN DRIVE DIRECTION Slowly pull throttle toward full drive­­blue LED blinks until 500µS of throw is reached when it turns solid. PUSH TRANSMITTER THROTTLE IN BRAKE DIRECTION Slowly push throttle toward full brake­­amber LED blinks until 200µS of throw is reached when it turns solid. (refer to Step 4/B to adjust throw) Note: Without transmitter adjustments mentioned in Step 4/A & 4/B, ESC will still program & operate normally with a minimum of ±90µS of throw. MOTOR BALL BEARING SET After extensive use, the ball bearings in the end bells of your brushless motor may need to be replaced. Two replacement motor bearings are available in Novak kit #5900. Selecting Throttle Program--TRANSMITTER ON With transmitter ON & ESC connected to receiver and battery: 1. PRESS & HOLD SPEED CONTROL'S SET BUTTON With transmitter throttle at neutral, press and hold SET button on Super Sport until all 4 LEDs turn on. RELEASE SPEED CONTROL'S SET BUTTON All status LEDs will flash together. The number of times the LEDs flash indicates the Throttle Program selected. PRESS & RELEASE SET BUTTON TO SELECT PROGRAM Each press will change to the next consecutive Program number. WAIT FOR SPEED CONTROL TO EXIT PROGRAMMING When SET button is not pressed for about 3 seconds, the ESC loads the selected Program into memory and exits programming--red status LED will turn solid red indicating that the speed control is at neutral and ready to go. GEAR SELECTION (Important) As a general rule, you can start with the same gear ratio that you previously had with a "stock" brush-type motor in your vehicle. The difference is that you now have broad power band, and can base your gear selection on application instead of being limited to the narrow RPM range that your brush-type motor produced its maximum torque. Higher final drive ratios will give longer run time at the expense of top speed, while ratios below 6. 5:1 will cause excessive heating of the ESC, and may result in overheating and thermal shut-down. TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE This section describes possible ESC problems, causes, and solutions. Steering Channel Works But Motor Will Not Run · Make sure motor sensor harness is plugged into ESC­­check for damaged wires. · Make sure input signal harness is plugged into throttle channel of receiver & ESC. [. . . ] · Hobby dealers or distributors are not authorized to replace Novak products thought to be defective. · If a hobby dealer returns your speed control & motor for service, submit a completed PRODUCT SERVICE FORM to the dealer and make sure it is included with the items. does not make any electronic components (transistors, resistors, etc. ) available for sale. the power wire's solder joint on the bottom side of the solder tab, while gently pulling up on the wire to remove it from the hole in the PCB. · Replace power wires by stripping 1/8-1/4" of insulation from the end of the new wire.
