gtb and 10.5 vortex
I got reman gtb from novak and 10.5 Team Orion Vortex. They worked fine for the first few minutes,then it stopped working. I have to push it and it will work as long as don't stop. This the first run on the gtb and the motor is used, I got off a guy in the for sale forum. Any ideas?

it sounds like the speedo may not reconize the motor. Since you say it was used then maybe it might be the motor. If you have to push it to get it to start going the sensor may be the problem. Try hooking up a different brushless motor to it and see if that solves your problem.

from what I understood, you could only use Novak speedo with Novak motors

You should be able to run the orion motor with the GTB ESC w/o any problem.
I would check your sensor harness on your motor and the actual plug in the motor itself... I have seen a few of the plugs have the pins fall out in the motors...

Are Novak going to have adjustable timing in the software, like the LRP?

All of the currently available sensored motors and escs are plug compatible.
The Novak BL motors, however, are protected against thermal overload, only when used with a Novak BL controller.
Perhaps reading about that specific feature caused the confusion.

My friend Ray uses the GTB and the Orion Vortex 10.5, and it seems he has no problems at all.
