Arrow Novak GT7 wont brake

My Novak GT7 won't brake even when I adjust the ESC to full brakes. When I come from a full speed run and let go of the throttle it coasts like 15-20 ft. Anyone know whats wrong? Thanks

Is your brake Expo in your radio set @ the maximum amount?

When you set the speed contol are you holding the trigger at full brake until the led blinks?

Try a different schotky diode(if it not the updated GT7 with the diode wired in already)

I'm not electronics expert but it could be your brake FET's are blown, which depending on the manufacturer could be a cheap thing to get fixed or an expensive thing to fix. Never dealt with Novak myself. It may be something else all together, just an idea, as a club mate was getting interference problems when on full throttle and couldn't get rid of it, then someone had a go of his car and said were's the brakes? he said it had been like that a while, they were very weak, sent it back for repair and all was fine, it was an LRP I think.

I think I know the problem. Some guy told me that I had to turn off the ABS feature on my M8. Then re set up the ESC. Ill try it tomorrow.
