I purchased a RC10 graphite buggy last week, the previous owner cut the receiver plug off the esc. I want to fix the esc to see if it works, but not sure about the wires. There are two black wires and one red wire. Does anyone know which wires are the signal, positive, and negative wires? Thanks for any help you can provide. Mike
If they are still molded together it will be black black red. Red is positive, center is negative, and outside black is signal. It had an airtronics connector on it with those colors. Doesn't matter but that's why it is like that
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
The negative and signal technically wouldn't hurt anything if reversed it just wouldn't work. The red is the important one

Has anyone had any luck finding similar diameter wiring to the novak 16 guage wires in the Novak Rooster ESCs? I have 2 with really short wiring. I could splice on but it wouldnt look very good. Other 16 guage wire aeems to be too thick for the case...

Thanks guys! Its awesome that there are some really close matches for these parts out there!
So Ive come in to a large amount of older ESCs. Sadly the wiring on almost all of them is quite dismal. Is there anywhere or a person who is known for rewiring old ESCs? Does it even make sense to spend the money on them?
Thanks for all the help....

Or sell the 2 Tekin keypad ESCs and buy what ever you want.
Yup.
I’d happily repair all the others for him with vintage wires in trade for 1 of the 410Ks
Also have a mate who is GUN with repairing ESCs at a component level - he can fix...
As soon as I touch the wires to the motor it starts spinning at full speed. The battery is plugged in, switch on, and throttle is not being pulled. Am I just switching the motor and battery wires or is something else happening?

Thanks! The manual was helpful. Took a couple tries but I got it working.
I picked these up last week to experiment with. They didn't really cost much at all and they work :twisted:
I can program the Cyclone with my own custom parameters or use one of the 20 saved Novak sets to use as profile 4 on the Cyclone. Too bad I...

Wait, you have a computer with a serial port and diskette drive? :wink:
I'm a Mac guy in all honesty, but yes I do. I found it in the garbage and put XP on it :mrgreen: I use it mainly for the old school Toyota Electronic Parts Catalog Software...
In my build process, I now have 2 different ESCs. One is a novak 410-m5 and the other is a Traxxus xl-5 which is the yellow one. I know that the Novak has been around for a while, and that the Traxxus has several programmable modes.
Is there a...

Todd- if I knew what I had, I would certainly be much better off. The best I can find is a marking on the motor that says ROAR 91.
should be a 27t stock motor.
I have a pretty good collection of old Novak electronics and have seen just about everything out there but I have never seen or heard of this model before. It seems to be an early 1X chassis and the person I got it from said he purchased it in 1984....

Asso_man! thanks for posting the picture and a quick question, what material is that heat sink made out of aluminum? Also do you happen to have the dimensions of it? :D I did call Novak and they were very nice but they had no clue what this was....
Hey guys, what can you tell me about this one from Novak?
In the pictures, look for a short bit of wire that is located at the receiver and switch output area. There are two wires, both red, soldered together. :shock:
I don't think that part was...

Out of the bag the 4 came with unterminated motor/battery wires. Deans plugs and a capacitor suggest it was used in an adults race car. The two small red wires are for the controllers BEC, connected together for up to 6 cell, unconnected for 7 and...
I am pulling my hair out with this thing...It has a neutral and speed adjustment...Novak Solid state speed control is what it says on the case...I can not get the throttle to work at all...I have steering...The only time the motor will spin is when...
