Default Novak gtb2 issues

I'm running my Sakura zero s with a Novak gtb2 with 17.5 ballistic using a spectrum dx3s and every once in a while the esc will stop working and the red and yellow lights will blink. What does that light combo mean? It's not in te paper work that came with it.

Thanks
Matthew

Edit: I worked out that that is the lipo cut off( using Nimh right now) but I have very poor braking. How do I set it up?

When you performed the initial setup were your radio EPAs set to 100%?

Backed what down to zero? If you mean your EPA is zero then, yes you will have no brakes.

Set your throttle and brake EPAs at 100% on your radio. Then go through the initial setup again on the GTB2. Once you verify you have brakes, you can adjust the brake side EPA to a lower value if it's too aggressive.

I had the same issue with my GTB2. Charlie from Novak sent me a new brain board and that fixed the issue.

After a test run today the brakes seem enough to stop it pretty quick due to its ultra light weight.
