I thought those were for your feet if you lived in Buffalo, NY, LOL!!! slots 10-17-2009, 10:43 AM I had the same problem, also with a 17.5 SS, right out of the package and took the esc out with it first time it was run. Unfortunately, the motor had been hanging on the wall for 8 months and warranty had already run out. Stupid me. Tommygun43 10-17-2009, 11:30 AM Warranty starts on the date of purchase.

If so what is it? slots 10-18-2009, 06:16 PM It was hanging on my wall - not the hobby store. wrenchhead 10-19-2009, 10:51 AM i tryed the one with 3 clogs and it didnt want to turn hooked to the esc so i took the rotor out and put another in and it was fine and it had 6 clogs so its in the rotor Andy Koback 10-19-2009, 12:50 PM i tryed the one with 3 clogs and it didnt want to turn hooked to the esc so i took the rotor out and put another in and it was fine and it had 6 clogs so its in the rotor Check to see if the rotor is turning (slipping) on the rotor shaft. This has happened in the past. wrenchhead 10-19-2009, 05:24 PM i cant turn it on the shaft i have one from a freind that got his to hot and now it doesnt stay on the shaft CClay1282 10-19-2009, 07:17 PM Check to see if the rotor is turning (slipping) on the rotor shaft. This has happened in the past. Yeah, i had one do that. It wouldnt happen when turning the motor by hand though. Alot more likely to do it when putting a load on it.

Any user, who has seriously overheated a BL motor (any mfgs' BL motor) should replace the rotor ASAP. Overheating demagnetizes the rotor's magnetic material. In addition to not running properly, this bad rotor can damage your controller. We have seen a lot of seriously damaged motors in the last year---enough for us to change our service policies. Improper use of adjustable esc timing can overheat the motor and melt some of the wire insulation: thus shorting out the windings. c barsalow 10-23-2009, 03:51 PM i have 2 17.5 novak motors and one of them when u turn it it has 6 clogs to make one turn on the motor and the other one has 3 is one better then the other and why are they different any info would be great thanks Run the 3 cog and wear your clogs Saturday!:hat: wrenchhead 10-23-2009, 07:03 PM i will show u whos clogs are fast on saturday chuckie c barsalow 10-26-2009, 04:37 PM i will show u whos clogs are fast on saturday chuckie I guess I showed you with a track record run didn't I?:tongue: I took out my 3 cog in favor of a 6 cog.

I had a motor burn up on the bench the first time i tried to run it and they told me I overgeared it. Impossible when you consider it never even made it to the track. c barsalow 10-27-2009, 03:40 PM I have 2 race days on it never over 125F. I'll email Novak. Thanks!
