At the time of printing, there are no other brushless motor's available that work with the Super Sport Plus­­check our website for further updates & compatibilities. An external power capacitor is installed and MUST be used with your ESC. Failure to use Power Capacitor will result in higher ESC operating temperatures & possible thermal shut-down. Always turn on the power of the transmitter first so that you will have control of the vehicle when you turn it on. Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent short circuits, which can damage ESC. Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause damage to internal components of the speed control and result in premature failure. P1 INPUT SIGNAL HARNESS [Novak kits #5315 & 5320] User-replaceable input signal harness is available in both short and long lengths. 4. 5" harness in Novak kit#5315, and 9. 0" harness in Novak kit #5320. 4 TO 7 CELLS ONLY SS-SERIES MOTOR END BELL & BEARING SET After extensive use, the ball bearings in the end bells of your brushless motor may need to be replaced. Replacement front end bell with bearing factoryinstalled & rear bearing are available in Novak kit #5905. NOVAK BRUSHLESS MOTORS ONLY sensor harness wiring Should any of the 26G Teflon wires pull out of the connector on the end of the motor's sensor harness, re-insert them in the appropriate slot in the connector as shown below. There is a small plastic tab that grabs a small raised barb on the back of the metal socket crimped onto the Teflon wire's end. The plastic tab should be checked to make sure it has not deformed excessively before inserting the metal socket into the plastic connector housing with the barb toward to plastic tabs. black red blue green product warranty The Super Sport Plus Brushless ESC is 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). does not make any internal electronic components (transistors, resistors, etc. ) available for sale.

MOTOR CAPACITORS Electric brush-type motors generate RF noise that causes interference. The included 0. 1µF (50V) non-polarized, ceramic capacitors must be used on all motors to reduce motor noise & prevent ESC damage. Note: Some motors come with built-in capacitors. If your motor only has 2 capacitors, you need to install a capacitor between the positive & negative motor tabs­­If you experience radio interference with built-in capacitors only, install external ones. The Super Sport Plus has the industry-standard receiver input connector on a user-replaceable input harness & works with all major radio brand's new receivers. However, some very old receivers must have the wiring sequence in the plastic 3-pin connector housing changed. This is important, because receiver & servo electronics may be damaged if the sequence is incorrect. NOvak bRuSHlESS mOtOrS (Fig. 5) 1.

Airtronics Z receivers have blue plastic cases & new KO cases have tabs on the input harness openings as in Figure 1. · Plug one end of the input signal harness into the THROTTLE CHANNEL (#2) of receiver with the BLACK wire toward the outside edge of receiver case. · Plug the other end of the input harness into 3-pin header inside the ESC's case with the WHITE wire toward the `S' (signal) marking on the ESC's case above the rectangular signal harness opening. 2. [. . . ] · If using the Novak Racing Schottky Motor Module (this is the best performing Schottky diode available), solder the RED wire from the module to the POSITIVE (+) motor tab. Solder the BLACK wire from the Schottky module to the NEGATIVE (­) motor tab. If Schottky diode is installed backwards it will be destroyed. Replace only with Schottky diodes with a minimum rating of 35 volts/8 amps. c . Solder the ESC's YELLOW Phase `B' motor wire to the motor's `B' solder tab as described in Step 5B above. [. . . ]
