|  Novak speed control gets hot?
I have a Novak 2S Brushless Goat Speed Controller. I noticed after about 2 minutes of "ON", I can touch the heat sink but its pretty warm. I dont know how hot it is exactly but the question is, how hot should the speed control get before its considered "too hot".

like after 2 mins of running or just sitting because if its from running it could be too tight of gear mesh or to tall of gearing

same here, i think because i max my drag brake is part of it. i installed the fan a couple weeks ago and it keeps it nice and cool. and when he says pretty warm he means pretty damn hot from what mine done. |

Because I am not part of Novak's technical support group, you may need to email tech@teamnovak.com with your question. Before emailing, take a moment to review the instructions originally included with your Novak Item: Novak Instruction Downloads Quote:

Ya, I guess its true, you cant idle with the Novak Goat on a BL setup. I notice if I am on the throttle, the ESC doesnt heat up. Does Novak know this? If it frys because its on and idle, does Novak stand behind the product and fix/replace it? Thanks for everyone's input |
