Default need help?

HEY,

RCC i purchased a novak brushless system used from a guy on ebay. I know i risked a lot by doing so. Well my problem is this, when i turn the power on to the ESC the light comes on so i know i have power my steering servo works properly but when i pull the trigger the truck goes no where but the ESC LED's light up like its doing something. what could be the problem. I'm new to the electric world. Thank you in advance.

Did you calibrate the ESC to the RX?
What LED's light up?
How many LED's light up?
What battery are you using (2S, 3S?, LiPO, NiMH?)

Yes, RX = receiver.

Basic manual.... TSG_1

Your manual should be here.... Instruction Manuals it will likely have some troubleshooting info in it.

I am pretty sure all Novak brushless speed controllers are sensored only, so the sensor wire has to be plugged in to both the motor and the controller, and the motor leads have to be connected to the controller in a specific order, that being A to A, B to B and C to C.
You should be able to see these letters on both the motor and controller. Double check all that and see if it works.
