This past weekend my B5M 17.5 buggy quit running one lap into the main. The same problem happened in the qualifier. If the car is pushed forward it starts running again.

Running a Novak GTB3 ESC with the Novak Vulcan 17.5 motor.

Has anyone seen this problem before?

Bad sensor cable or because it is a Novak, the known bad sensor board issue.

Had this issue with their ESCs too. Could be either. Have to try different motor and if it still acts up, different ESC. As stated, try the sensor wire first.

Sensor wire looks good, but I will swap it out first. If I still have a problem I will look into a Reedy upgrade.

Anytime you push the car and it runs. Start like it is new out of box. Rebind your rx and tx. Next recalibrate your esc. If you change any motor, you still have to recalibrate your esc. Novak closed it doors last year, but you can find the manual online.
