My Rooster Died :(
My Rooster Died :(
I bought this rooster not long ago and yesterday, while running my RC10T3 with a 7.4V lipo pack it just stopped working. I ran the truck for about 3 minutes before this occurred. Do you guys think it's repairable and is it worth it? I bought it for $30 shipping included.

Re: My Rooster Died :(
The pictures aren't clear enough but it looks like one of the FET's burned out, correct? If so, replacement FET's are in the $5-$12 range and replacing them is fairly easy if you have soldering experience. Either try to repair it yourself or contact Novak and see what they would charge.
Re: My Rooster Died :(
Daddeo, I believe you are correct. I think it was a FET that gave way. The little contraption was square looking and simply fell apart when I touched it. Where would I get a FET? I did contact Novak via email and see what they tell me. If I can fix it myself, I'll give it a go. Thanks for the insight.
In Christ,

Re: My Rooster Died :(
What kind of motor were you running when it failed?
They are "rated" by Novak to 100amps, which they correlate to a 15T motor at 7.2V.
I just want to make sure that you have a chance to address the cause of the problem so it doesn't happen again once you get the ESC up and running again ...

Re: My Rooster Died :(
It was a stock motor, Reedy DS Spec with 17/87 on a T3. I was not able to get any info off of the FET since it was toast! I mean toast. I have another Rooster I'll open up and take a photo of it and see where that leads us. Thanks again gents.

Re: My Rooster Died :(
Okay but you don't have to take a picture really. Just get the numbers off of the FET and I can point you in the right direction.
Re: My Rooster Died :(
Well, I opened up my other Rooster and it's not the same. I doesn't have the due hicky that burned up. Rats! Some the Rooster that burned up had a small label that says 1998, the other doesn't have that.
