Default MORE EMAXX PROBLEMS!

I have a hv maxx with 2 6cell batterys..

When ever I try to drive it I cant hit throtal it will just stutter, and wont move anywhere.. I put in a brushed system and it worked fine but i bought a 240$ bl setup I need it to work. Could it be cogging?

Check the condition of your batteries. you should use Deans connectors.
If you are using a Spektrum radio you must use a capasitor on the receiver.
Are you getting any of the fail lights on the ESC?
make sure the sensor wire harness is plugged in all the way.

If all check out good send it back for warranty. Novak has great customer service and will have it back to you in a week.

Are you running stock gearing or the suggested by Novak gearing?

The system may be defective, try to reprogram it. if that does not work send it back to Novak for warranty.

Ah yes, it's in the first line. So sorry.

Use your manual and go back to step 1. Re-calibrate your transmitter to the ESC. There are 3 profiles on that controller. Have you tried all of them? Does the rotor spin freely? Did you try to unplug (and re-plug) everything?

I imagine because you are ignoring my question on gearing that you are running stock gearing. If so, you've probably overheated the motor and fried the sensor pack. If so, the motor is dead. You must follow the published gearing specs or the motor will cook.
