This section describes possible speed control problems,
causes and solutions. For additional help, please call Novak
Technical Assistance.
Cyclone or Atom Will Not Program Properly
• Too little transmitter throw—Increase the ATV/EPA setting
to maximum.
• Make sure ESC is plugged into the throttle channel of
receiver. Check throttle channel operation with a servo.
• ESC’s 1-TOUCH button not held long enough—Press and
hold 1-TOUCH button until status LED turns solid red.
Loss of Throttle Control
• ESC affected by excessive vibration or a hard impact—
Isolate speed control from shock and vibrations with
mounting tape, as recommended in Step 2.
• Repeat One-Touch Set-Up process.
• Internal Polar Drive Capacitor is blown—Refer to Service
Procedures.
Steering Channel Works, But Motor Will Not Run
If status LED is solid RED at all throttle positions:
• No signal from receiver—Make sure ESC is plugged into
throttle channel of receiver. Check throttle channel
operation with a servo. Check the wiring color sequence of
the ESC's input harness. On Airtronics/Sanwa Z-style
receiver, be sure white signal wire side of plug is towards
the inside of the receiver.
If status LED is RED at neutral/GREEN at full throttle:
• Check motor connections. Check motor and brushes.
