1998 novak rooster......?

[M0D3RN C0WB0Y]

Hi guys. I got a wheely king that had a burnt esc in it. I have a old school novak reversible rooster. 2 questions......#1 will this old rooster work with the wheely king pieces......and #2 would the rooster be ok running on 8.4 volt venom racing 7 cells?

[benoj]

it should work fine as long as the motor is higher than a 12t

Ya i have no idea. The motor is a stock wheely king motor. i just dont want to burn up the rooster esc with the 8.4 volt batteries.

[M0D3RN C0WB0Y]

ok so the wheely king comes with a 540 27t motor? So my rooster would b good in it with a 8.4 volt battery.

There was a time when the old Roosters were as common in Crawlers as Tekin FX-R's are now.

I think you'll be ok; it's rated at 6 to 7 cells with a motor limit of 15T on 6 cell, so a 27T on 7 should be fine.

Here's the spec page in case you don't have your paperwork:

Specs: Reversible ESCs

Ok ill try it out, i gotta figure out how to hook up the 2 wires to the motor, as they arenot color coded.

[CreepyCrawl]

Should be Blue (negative) and Yellow (positive) to the motor, Red (positive) and Black (negative) to the battery.

The guy I got it from rewired it, and the wires coming off the motor are the same damn color......sory im a noob.

[CreepyCrawl]

Well, assuming that the previous owner replaced the wires correctly, you should be able to use a stock image of the Rooster to follow which is which as they exit the housing and get your wiring correct.

Once you figure it out, use some Red heat shrink to identify the positive leads for future reference.

Ya im having trouble finding a diagram for the rooster.

Don't worry about the motor wire colors, if you do it backwards, the motor will run reversed, so just swap them. You won't hurt anything.

Getting the input wiring (pack to ESC) backwards WILL fry the ESC.

Ok i got it wired up and i turn on the power,and the servos work. But dont i still have to program it to the motor? idk what im doing lol....its got one led light and one littler button.....how do i set this thing up?

[benoj]

it should be like the others with one touch setup where you press the button till i believe it turns red hold full forward and the full reverse then back to not throttle and should be good to go but regardless heres a link to download page for their escs, the closest one if you scroll down to brushed is the rooster 12t
