Charlie,
Last weekend I was racing one of your 3.5 BL systems. After about 3 minutes into the race the motor just went flat. By flat, I mean it just stopped running at speed and kind of just crawled around the track. It never completely stopped running. I picked the car up to see if I could noticed anything wrong with the car. After giving it a quick and good look over, nothing was wrong. I put the car back down and it ran as if nothing had happened for two laps and then did the same thing. I thought that it was running to hot and that's why it was doing that. Then, I was talking to Nexus Racing in Georgia about it Tuesday. They said if it had gotten to hot "Thermaled" it should've stopped completely. They stated that they heard about a some bad temperature sensors and it might be that.
Can you help me with this issue? What do I need to do or try to figure out the problem?
Thank you for your time

Hello,
The latest version of the GTB's have a "Slow and Go" Thermal protection. So it won't stop completely, it cuts back to about 1/4 throttle, so you can "get out of the way" if needed.
Typically this simply means you are overgeared, or have overheated. Make sure your fan is working correctly, and check gearing. For the 3.5 in TC we're usually between 10.3 to 10.8. That doesn't mean if you run that gear, it will be fine though. Just a rough starting point. I've got guys that run in the 11s. I'm talking about "final drive" here. Let me know if you need anything else.
[email protected] should get through. I check my filter twice daily. Or [email protected]

i had my frist day with lipos and was a dissaster, three high speed frontal crashes , i thought i was having radio interferences cause the car sometimes went crazy speed uncontrolled and then crash ...
it was not radio problems , the problem was novak 2s Smart Stop lipo cut off
after program it and everything looks ok , the damn item goes full power when i hit brake after a medium speed guning ... in other words, if i drive slow and then brake no problem , but if i run fast and then brake , the god damn smart stop goes full power instead of braking !!!!!!!!!
it looks like a calculated plan to ruin my car , if i try to do something like that i coudnt do it as good, cause when for first lap you run slow , trying new suspension setup brakign slow and everything goes fine, then you start driving fast and the sabotage happens....
did i got a bad smart stop unit? something related to programing? i did check this , programing is quite simple but might be something i didnt do right

My smart stop works perfectly. Maybe you can try reprogramming it again. If that does not work it is probably a return to novak type of issue. Can you test it on a car stand to make sure you don't snap your car to pieces next time?
Glad I did not have this one.

DR. - Your smart stop needs to be "programmed" to the radio if you will.
Run throught the "one Touch Setup". I've had the same thing happen to me by accident during some bench testing of a smart stop.
If you don't set it up, it will return to its internal nuetrual. This is not going to match your transmitter. So when Low Voltage activates, it cuts in, but NOT with the correct neutral because it was never set. Simply run your smart stop through the one touch setup and it should be fine.
GYM- Sorry, we don't sell the sensor harnesses separetely. We offer RMF exchange of the entire motor for $30. Details are on the website in the Customer Service section.

It is VERY dangerous to run those with out insulation. Fire, shorted packs, burning ESCs.... So please use insulation, shrink wrap.

23T brush equivalent
Hi all,
Is there a brushless motor that is 23T brush equivalent from novak?
Thanks,
Diesel.
