Silly question time.
I have a couple of old Novak T4 esc'c that I am wanting to set up in my Losi X2 and PRO. There are two small red wires that exit these units where the receiver and switch wires come out.
Are these power wires for FET servos? If so, why two of them?
Thanks in advance, Jason.
Just wondering if anyone is using these with LiPOs?? I have with mine but the motor seems to get hot quick and I am not sure if its the gearing or the extra power from the lipo.
Thanks
Mark
I just received my new Novak 4 and receiver. In looking at the esc I noticed 2 wires red in color that come from the same place as the switch. They are bare on the ends and they is a small piece of shrink tubing on one of them. Looks factory to me....

according to my novak booklet, leave apart until 7-10cells is used. :)
So I want to replace the wire on some older Novak ESC's. M1, HPc, etc. Anyone have a source for the thin insulation silicone 12 and 14 gauge wire like the speed controls came with? TQ wire is wrong gauge and insulation thickness, everything else...

Standard 12 gauge is 4.5mm outer diameter, Novak is about 3.85mm

Hello Walfre, I know this is an old post but I feel responsible being that you purchased parts from me to progress this build. Hope all is well and would like an update if possible...
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...

Maybe I'm not using the right search terms. I just want motor wires with the little plugs inline so that I don't have to hardwire the motor to the ESC. I tried Tower and AMain but I'm probably using search terms that are too general.
I'm having problems getting the factory wires off of my Novak Havoc. I want to use specific coloured wires to customize it. I have a Team Checkpoint soldering iron, so my iron is not the issue. I can't seem to get the flippin wires unsoldered. It...

I tried to remove the wires, and ran into the same problem. I noticed the heatsink was doing just that and taking a lot of the heat. I removed the heatsink, but still could not loosen the factory solder up. I was afraid of ruining the speed...
Is there any issues with using copper stranded wires for the ESC and Motor?

just be careful when resoldering new wire into a speed control, some of them have multi-layered circuit boards which can pose a problem if you dont re-solder all they way through, try to get the heat on and off as quick as possible as surface mount...
I have three runners I am getting going for the spring, I am having problems because the older motor contacts already have solder on them. Thoughts suggestions are appreciated.

I realize this is an older thread, but figured I'd give my input.
First, as the other guys have said, a higher wattage iron along with steady hands will end in a better joint. The main thing you want to really worry about too much heat on is...
