Novak GTB in Flames!!!!
I recently bought a brand new Novak GTB form a member on here, and as soon as i got it i wired it up and turned it on and the capacitor immediately caught on fire. What would cause this? I am running a 13.5 motor and a 2s 5000mah 40c lipo.

By "new", was it in a factory sealed box? If not then it was probably not new.
Best bet is to just bite the bullet and send it back to Novak. I totally gave up the the "ORANGE" stuff several years ago and have never been happerier. You will be getting a few "I love the Novak stuff" here, but for me never again. Bob Oaks |
Novak is tricky stuff...
If it was just the cap it is replaceable, if it was more than that... good luck. GTB's were the last of the good ones & I even had one burn on the bench. |
Perhaps the seller from whom you purchased the esc will refund your money. If you want to return it to us, we can replace it for you.
