hi there. my novak gtb and novak ballistic 10.5 setup is glitching with its throttle. it runs fine for a while, say 5 minutes or so then just completely stops any motor power. when throttle is applied, the lights on the gtb do change and register someform of signal, but the motor does not go. i turn the esc off, unplug the battery, plug it back together, turn the esc on and generally that seems to solve the issue and its back up and running again. seems very random as to when it decides to stop. all the power and sensor wires and plugs seem to be in very good condition, nothing i can see is loose. battery is a nice reasonable new ip lipo..any ideas what might be causing the problem, or where i should direct my attention? cheers!

Try replacing the sensor wire. It can look plugged in fine, but still be bad. I ran into this issue a little while back and chased it around until I replaced that harness. They're cheap ($5) and you should have a spare on hand anyway (they do go bad).

novak2 thanks for all the info, most helpful. i have a 29mhz AM futuba R142JE receiver in it.

klaymon i think you might be right. i removed the corally plugs and direct soldered the power leads to the motor. still glitching every now and then, but when the sensor lead is jiggled, it goes again. that seem to be the fault to me, so i will buy another from the novak shop.

sensor lead it was. thanks klaymon! replaced it today and ran a full pack, no problems.

novak2 i wanted to buy genuine from your estore, but the flat $US35.00 shipping fee is crazy! and the fact it is not negotiable at all...

i would buy heaps of stuff from you if it was normal shipping costs, such as us post etc. ihavebought heaps of stuff online from the US and someofit very large, and notone single thing has ever gone missing, nor taken very long to get here...
