PRECAUTIONS
•WATER & ELECTRONICS DON’T MIX Never allow water, moisture, or other foreign materials to get inside motor, or on PCBs.
•CHECK MOTOR SCREWS Remember to check all motor screws for loosening after a few runs of the motor.
•INSULATE WIRES Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing to prevent short circuits.
•NO SOLVENTS Do NOT expose the motor to any type of solvents.
•MOTOR CAPACITORS Brush motors generate electrical noise. Keep all 3 capacitors on the motor to help prevent radio interference.
•NO SCHOTTKY DIODES WITH REVERSIBLE ESCs NEVER use Schottky diodes on the motor with reversible ESCs--ESC damage will occur.
•SET GEAR MESH PROPERLY Too tight of a gear mesh can result in motor pinion shaft breakage--be sure to adjust mesh properly.
MOTOR MAINTENANCE
•CHECK MOTOR SCREWS
Check all motor screws for loosening at regular intervals, just like other hardware on your vehicle.
•CHECK MOTOR BEARING & BRUSH WEAR
After extensive use, your motor’s bearings or commutation brushes may need replacement. A small drop of light oil on the bearings periodically can help extend bearing life--however, too much oil will attract dirt and will cause problems, so apply sparingly & wipe clean.
•CLEAN INSIDE MOTOR
Periodically remove the end bell of your motor, remove the rotor, and blow out the inside of the motor with compressed air. Be sure not to lose any small shim washers that may be on the shaft ends & keep them in the correct location.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.CHECK MOTOR SCREW LENGTH & INSTALL MOTOR
•Insert the M3 motor mounting screws that came with your vehicle through the motor mounting plate. You need no more than 1/8” of screw extending past the vehicle’s mounting plate (2-4mm)--Too little can strip the motor’s threads, too much may cause internal motor damage & will void warranty.
•Attach motor to vehicle’s motor mount using one of the sets of threaded mounting holes--select a mounting position that keeps the wire tabs clear of conductive surfaces like aluminum or graphite.
2.INSTALL PINION GEAR
Install pinion on motor and align pinion and spur gears. Tighten pinion’s set screw on the flat of motor shaft.
3.ADJUST MOTOR FOR PROPER GEAR MESH
•Adjust the motor position for proper amount of free play. You
NEED a small amount of play between the pinion gear and the spur gear (about the thickness of piece of paper)--check the free play at several positions around the spur gear to ensure a proper mesh (just in case the gears are out of round).
MAKE SURE THE PINION/SPUR GEAR MESH IS NOT TOO TIGHT!
If gear mesh is too tight, motor shaft breakage can occur.
•Tighten motor mounting screws--Avoid using excessive force that could break screws or strip the threaded holes in motor.
4.SOLDER MOTOR POWER WIRES
•Determine the best routing in vehicle for power wires. Prepare ends of motor power wires by stripping 1/8-1/4” of insulation from end of wire. Tin wire ends with solder.
•Lay tinned end of the wire flat on the solder tab and solder wires to proper tabs of the motor. Apply heat with soldering iron to the power wire and solder tab--begin adding solder to tip of iron and to wire--Add just enough solder to form a clean
& continuous joint from the solder tab up onto the wire.
PRODUCT WARRANTY
Novak products are guaranteed to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of 120 days from the original date of purchase (verified by dated, itemized sales receipt). Warranty does not cover incorrect installation, components worn by use, cross-connection of battery/motor power wires, overheating solder tabs, damage resulting from overload, wear or damage from improper gear mesh, damage from disassembling motor or incorrect re-assembly of motor, tampering with motor, allowing water, moisture, or any other foreign material to enter motor, allowing exposed wiring or solder tabs to short-circuit, or any damage caused by a crash, flooding, or act of God. In no case shall our liability exceed the product’s original cost. We reserve the right to modify warranty provisions without notice.
Because Novak Electronics, Inc. has no control over the connection & use of motor or other related electronics, no liability may be assumed nor will be accepted for damage resulting from the use of this product. Every motor is tested before leaving our facility and is, therefore, considered operational.
By the act of connecting motor to speed control or operating motor, the user accepts all resulting liability.
