View Full Version : NEED help with my XBR
jgullo53 07-08-2008, 11:12 PM please dont bash novak, i really need help! my XBR keeps saying that i have a locked rotor on my motor, which i dont cause i have tried 3 motors from other ppl, and the only way the ESC works is if my truck is pushed, then it takes off. it keeps throwing a locked rotor code. how do i erase the code/fix the problem???
thanks!
swtour 07-09-2008, 01:05 AM did you make sure your sensor harness is plugged in fully? Check to make sure any other harness are correctly plugged in as well...and your wires on soldered in the correct order on the motor. Blue Yellow Orange (BYO)

i PERSONALLY love novak, ive never used any other ESC. but on other forums ppl just slaughter them. im no longer on those forums, but none the less, i get it at tracks also. i havent been a member on this forum long enough to know what ppl like and dislike yet.
jgullo53 07-09-2008, 04:02 PM also i forgot to mention last post, the ESC is toast I believe, i tried hooking it up to a brushed motor and it does the same thing. im gonna b workin extra hours this week, HOPEFULLY if the weather cooperates to make up for my loss today, but im gonna go get a GTB. ive wanted one for a while, so ill just get it next week!
nutz4rc 07-09-2008, 04:21 PM I ran a XBR in my off road buggy and truck without any issues. Have you done a reset on the ESC? E-mail charlie@teamnovak.com. He resolved my problem with a rotor replacement in two days. Great service.
NovakTwo 07-09-2008, 04:43 PM If your XBR is under warranty, return it for NC replacement. If not under warranty, we can exchange it for $49.00:

Yes, it is sad that he had to make that comment but it is due to the fact that some people are not logical in their approach to things. Just like a guy who posted that he had several Novak ESCs fail. I pointed out that many times it is operator error. In 40 years I have had one Dually fail. I have run T-4s, Cyclones, Atoms, GTS, XRS, GTX, XBR. All have been excellent.
I see more orange than any other color ESC. Yes some will fail. But we live with auto companies recalling 100,000s of their mistakes; but are intolerant of a tiny piece of electronics that takes abuse that nothing else can.
