Eeek...those are not original wires. I wonder how they look at the board.....
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
yeah I think your right, and someone crossed the two grounds when putting the case back together. Thinking I may power this one up with fused power supply

the esc has an internal regulator, for BEC. This is usually a 3 tab device, sometimes they mount with little gullwing legs, and sometimes they look like a miniFET. one side of the regulator goes to the batt+ lead, one side goes to the receiver red wire, and usually, the switch will break the connection along there somewhere(most likely on the batt+ side, it probably ties into the same pad as one of the big red wires). The third lead is the reference leg, which is almost always GND. so you can follow the three traces around the board to see which one of the black wires ties into that little regulator. the other black wire will connect to the FET's only.
OH, also, even easier. Follow the traces on the black receiver wire, whichever large lead is connected to it will be BATT-. As far as the positive leads since this is a forward/brake only, they 'should' be wired together, so either can be used for either.
I did follow as best as I could and tried it the way I thought made sense and tah-dah!!! works great. My 33 year old eyes dont work as good as my 23 year old eyes or I may have been able to follow a bit bettter

I have a used Novak Explorer esc that is missing it's on/off switch and the white wire that goes to the receiver has been cut. Is it possible to replace both the white wire and the switch on this esc? If so, will a newer Novak switched work? Can I...

this might help
i would recomend a 25-30 watt pencil tip iron, fine solder, solder wick or vacume .. if your good at soldering you should be fine .. if not just take it to an elecrtonics repair shop and let them do it
I recently aquired a Novak 410-HPC. It looks as if the Red, blue and black wires were replaced. Can anyone tell me what gauge wire the HPC came with? Were each of the wires the same gauge?
I'm trying to find periodic correct leads (battery & motor wires) for a 410M5 that i'm to restore. Does anyone know if they are available at all (or just the bay).
I would rather prefer the original type wires then today's glossy silicone...

Looks great... where did you get the wire?
Thanx :)
They have modern prints on em, but they look ok in my opinion.
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...
