|  hv maxx took a crap!!
:-x this is just pissing me off. the out put shaft on my hv-maxx was bent so i decided to replace the rotor. the capacitor also came off so i replaced that to. when i put it in my tc4 it decided not to go. i got it to go once but i had to push and it wouldn't go again, Any ideas on whats wrong? nothings locked up and it all turns freely. i also tried running the motor free form the car

sounds like the cap, or you tried to run it with a damaged cap. That will fry the fets.

Your capacitor got damaged, which caused damage to an internal part. You will need to send it to novak. I am not fond of external Capacitors on ESCs |

WOAH! Yep, that would do it. The FETs, which provide current to the motor , got fried from backwards current coming from the motor. |
