[. . . ] If warranty provisions have been voided, there will be service charges. Always disconnect the battery pack from the speed control when not in use to avoid short circuits and possible fire hazard. If using Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries, NEVER use fewer than 4 or more than 7 cells (1. 2VDC/cell) in the vehicle's main battery pack. If using Li-Po batteries, ONLY use a 2-cell (2S) pack for the vehicle's main battery & be sure the Li-Po Cut-Off programming option is turned ON. The XBR Sport is designed for use with sensor-based Novak Brushless Motors. Failure to use Capacitor will result in higher temperatures & possible thermal shut-down or damage. Always turn on the power of the transmitter first so that you will have control of the vehicle when you turn it on. With the higher performance of brushless systems, undesirable radio system noise may occur when used with lower quality transmitters (like some RTR radios).

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. · XBR Sport ESC, Smart Braking II, Polar Drive Technology, Radio Priority Circuitry, & One-Touch Set-Up are all trademarks of Novak Electronics, Inc. ·ESCs returned without a serial number will not be serviced under warranty· ADDITIONAL NOTES: · Dealers/distributors are not authorized to replace 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 product. does not make any internal electronic components (transistors, resistors, etc. ) available for sale. GOOD QUALITY TRANSMITTER SUGGESTED DO NOT BUNDLE POWER & SIGNAL WIRES TOGETHER RF noise in the power wires can adversely effect radio system performance. 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. Novak Electronics, Inc.

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.

Airtronics Z receivers have blue plastic cases & new KO cases have tabs on the input harness openings as in Figure 1. Novak brushless motors do not require external motor capacitors. Schottky diodes must NOT be used with reversible ESCs (including brushless). The factory-installed Power Capacitor MUST be used with brushless & brush-type motors. If Power Capacitor becomes dented or damaged, ESC failure can Refer to the `PROPER GEAR SELECTION' portion of the PROGRAMMING/ GEARING Sheet (Pg. 5) to determine proper gearing & avoid overheating. 1. [. . . ] INSTALLING OPTIONAL SCHOTTKY DIODE (Brush-Mode Only) FIGURE 3 With a small standard screwdriver, gently lift plastic prong until wire and metal socket easily slide out of plastic housing. 6. CONNECT MOTOR'S SENSOR HARNESS TO ESC Insert the 6-pin connector on the end of the motor's Teflon sensor wires into ESC's sensor harness socket--the connector is keyed and will only go together in one direction. Connect the speed control's Tamiya-style JST battery connector to a charged 4 to 7 cell (1. 2VDC/cell) or 2-cell LiPo battery pack. 7. CONNECT SPEED CONTROL TO BATTERY PACK The XBR Sport does not require an external Schottky diode under most brush motor conditions. [. . . ]
