Novac goat 3s recommendations

[afrofroggy]

hi I have a novac goat 3s with 18.5 motor the throttle is glitching forwards on start of acceleration but not reverse should I cut my losses and get something else or try and fix this one I don't know if this will work "Novak 5626 Glitch Buster Capacitor" ?
any ideas or suggestions to a new set up ?

thanks Adam

We're assuming you calibrated the ESC to the RX?
What battery connectors (hopefully NOT Tamiya)?
What battery (chemistry, cell count/voltage, "C" rating if LiPO)?

"Glitch busters" are a band-aid covering the real issue in my view.

the battery connectors are the deans type
the battery's are lipo 1.3 3s 25-50c
and I re binded the spectrum dx3r and it was ok on a full charge but when the pack got down to say 50% it started glitching again
maybe the batteries are shagged ? or something else
does this help to identify it ?

Binding the TX to the RX is one thing, calibrating the ESC to the RX is another.
I asked about the recalibration.

If it works fine on a fully charged pack, you may have a tired pack. Try it again, then, when it starts acting up, put the pack on the charger and look at the cell voltages. See if you have a low cell.

Everything else looks OK.

Are you running a high torque servo?
Are you running an external BEC?

You may be running into power consumption issues with the servo and internal BEC on the goat.

[afrofroggy]

the servo is a hitec 7955tg
and no external bec
I think its the battery's now as they are about 2 years old
I will get a new one and try it
thanks for your replys

Adam..

I think its a novak issue.. my goat3 glittches on every 4th punch.. ex: if you're climbing a hill with a turn and you need to pop around the turn.. you give it 4 trys and on that 4th try i get a glitch!
Servo is Novak sa1230sg
3s 1800 15c
Castle 5amp BEC..
Novak Balistic 21.5 motor..

but if i lay on the trottle climbing up stuff. it never glitches.. Im living with it.

When I first installed mine I had glitching every so often. Installing the BEC to my servo fixed it. I have the Goat 3s in my Night Crawler, stock radio, 7950 servo with BEC for the servo and a second BEC for the receiver and knock on wood a year and a half and not a single problem.

The red wire from the ESC to the RX should have powered the RX, no need for an external BEC. If you're running lights or a winch from the RX, an external BEC "may" be needed for the RX.

NOTE: If you ran/run an external BEC to the RX, remove the red wire from the ESC to RX so you don't have 2 power sources feeding the RX.
