Novak sent me a brand new motor and ESC.
No, its in a Revo - so same gearing setup. A couple facts that people seem to be missing is that the batteries still have lots of voltage left, AND everything is stone cold. I'm almost wondering if there is some sort of low voltage cutoff malfunction going on in the ESC. I'm going to double check my wires this morning and make certain I wired the battery leads correctly.

If nothing is hot I would say your esc is bad. Cheep or old batteries drop the voltage under load allot. Then when you stop and check the voltage with no load the voltage seems fine. If they work in your emaxx and not the revo they are probably not the issue. Just a long shot have you tried to run the problem truck with a different radio? My brother went thru two warranty 4.5 setups before he gave up and gave it to me. Now its in my emaxx it is working fine. His second one lasted less than 10min before dying. Novak has always been a good company but the 4.5 is too much motor for the esc in my opinion.
