I don’t think so, believe all Novak brushless ESCs require a sensored motor. A sensor harness from the motor plugs into the 6 pin white port on top. Believe the Traxxas motor is an unsensored design motor.

+1 to that but its not like it would hurt anything to try maybe it will work by chance :confused: :lol:

Some LRPs will fail if there is no harness attached as I understand it.

Castle, Tekin, Hobbywing, and a host of other mfg's will run Sensorless without a problem (despite having a sensor port). Your Novak won't.
