Novak Cyclone help!

[ralphee]

Guys, need some advice. Took the YZ10 out today after building a pack and getting her all ready, hit a problem. Ive little to no braking!
Ive got the dial right up on the Cyclone, braking to 150 on my KO, and still theres hardly any there, its braking off load, but under load its like its a mild pull, im running a one way layshaft so rear brakes only, but even so, not much really happening.
To save me taking it out and trying the Atom i have, anyone here reckon ive a brake FET out? I mean, there are three right??? Would a blown fet still give me some braking, or would it not work period?
If i have blown FETs, anyone here UK based able to fit new ones on the Novak Cyclone? Posting this here too as its a bit more fitting.

Maybe make sure u did the one touch setup correctly to the radio always do the setup with the values at 100% and trims in the middle

Tried all that buddy, ive since tested my Atom and got the same performance, so im told it could be a sticky brush on the motor, so ill try a new one in a while!

have you got your Schottky properly installed...?


big Cyclone fan, best ESC out there pre GT7

usually if the brake FETs get fried they stay on/shorted
then the whole ESC warms up until it becomes toast

braking strength also depends on motor specs,
hotter mods give more brakes than a chromecan 540
