Hello. I have been looking on this site for a little bit now and love all the information thats here.

I do have a problem i cant figure out and cant find any info about it.

I have a novak 410-HPc esc thats in my gold pan. I have been trying to calibrate it but it does not seem to be working right. I set all my radio settings to what the instructions say for a ex10 radio. But when i do that the motor goes in reverse and i have double checked to see if the polarity was correct on the motor and it is. and i have no brakes. even if i reverse the throttle channel in the radio. still no brakes.

and one have any tips.

thanks!.

Im thinking about just putting my t4 esc back in. that thing is a champ lol

oh and btw im using a ex10 radio, reedy modified mr. y's motor (10x3)

thanks!

maybe the brake fet is burned out.

Your radio has a reverse switch or pot, try changing it to the other setting and go through the steps again-

check the schottky diode , the silver stripe gose to the positive . they have a big effect on the brakes

Have you actually tried it with the motor leads reversed?

not yet. tomorrow im going to reverse them and try it out and see what happeneds.

Just spin the endbell 180deg. Save yourself some soldering.

the HPC isn't a reverse speedo - if the mill is spinning the wrong way, well, it's been soldered backwards and has nothing to do with the radio

(or as said rotate the head half a turn, same result but you might loose track of what magnet is on what pole)
