Novak HV esc
 

I am wondering is it possible to run a sensorless brushless motor something like a Feigao XL and use my novak HV esc ? My 6.5 motor die on me the other day , should I replace with another 6.5 ?

No, you can't. a non sensored motor needs an esc that determines the rotors position by the back emf of the stator/rotor, but the hvmaxx determines it by the feedback it gets from the sensors in the motor.

What happened to your 6.5 motor? and how old is it?

If the motor is new, return it and it will be replaced under warranty.

If it is no longer under warranty, return it for replacement with a remanufactured 6.5T HV (with new 120 day warranty) for $42.00.

Thanks for chiming in. Good to know we've got Novak on our site/side..

Well my HV motor is out of warranty and living outside of the US makes shipping expansive. The motor will only run if I gave my truck alittle push otherwise the ESC is in locked rotor protection mode whenever I pull the trigger.

Hopefully you have plenty of hills/mountains where you live.

LOL! too funny..

That gives a new dimension to your RC hobby!

Much like rap music you just have to "roll with it!"

At least when your rc motor craps out.

hey! that 'act like a tennisshoe' thing came from a rap song too, what is this? national rap song quote day the 11th of the 11th?!

it's pure poetry..

LOL, so does anyway know why my motor acts like that ?

Can you check all the wires? (sensor and main leads from the esc to the motor) sounds like one of the wires is broken or such. it might be ESC related too, it's not said that the problem is motor-based.

Yeah, check the small sensor wires, especially where they go into the motor. Not sure if your motor has the detachable sensor wire harness that has plugs on each end, if so buy another and try it out. Cheaper fix than a new motor. Also check al of the solder joints and plugs if you have any. I have had numerous cogging and startup issues that all ended up being the motor to esc plugs. Good luck

Might be the ESC, I've had 2 HV's fail running the 4.5 motor. Both times they said locked rotor. Both times novak said the motor was fine and replaced the esc.
