Novak Brushless Motor: Drift Spec Motor (55-3074M-1 Rev.1) - Manual

#55-3074M-1 Rev.1
6-2014
PRECAUTIONS PRECAUTIONS
NEVER FREE-REV THE MOTOR Free-running your brushless
motor in a no-load condition can result in rotor failure and ESC
transistor damage & will void the product’s warranty!
• WATER & ELECTRONICS DON’T MIX Never allow water, moisture, or
other foreign materials to get inside motor, or on PCBs.
• NOVAK MOTORS & ESCs FOR BEST RESULTS Use Novak sensored
motors with Novak Brushless ESCs for best performance & protection. Only
use motors with the proper number of turns to match ESC’s rating.
• DO NOT USE WITH ESCS THAT HAVE ADVANCE ELECTRONIC
TIMING This can result in excessive heating and motor damage that will
not be covered by the product’s warranty.
• INSULATE EXPOSED WIRES Use heat shrink tubing to prevent shorts.
• NO SOLVENTS Do NOT expose the motor to any type of solvents.
• 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 ALL MOTOR SCREWS for loosening at regular intervals, just like
other hardware on your vehicle. Note: The 3 main socket head screws
that hold the motor together may require tightening after a few runs of
the motor. Also check the 3 flat head screws securing the end cap on
the back of the motor.
• CHECK MOTOR BEARING WEAR after extensive use. The motor’s
closed design will keep most dirt & debris out, but some will get in
and eventually cause wear. If the shaft does not spin freely, you may
need bearing replacement. A small drop of Novak Speed Lube (#5860)
on the bearings periodically can help extend bearing life--however, too
much oil will attract dirt and will cause problems, so apply sparingly.
• CLEAN INSIDE MOTOR periodically by removing front end bell,
removing the rotor, and blowing out the inside of the motor with
compressed air. Be sure not to lose any small shim washers that may be
on the ends of the rotor shaft & keep them in the correct location.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
After reviewing instructions, tech section and how-to video section of website, if you feel
your motor requires service (motor may appear to have failed when other problems exist), obtain
the most current product service options & pricing by one of the following methods:
WEBSITE: Print a copy of the product SERVICE FORM from the SERVICE section of the
Novak website. Fill out the needed information & return it with the Novak product.
PHONE/E-MAIL: Contact our customer service department by phone or e-mail, and
we will supply you with current service options.
WARRANTY SERVICE: You MUST CLAIM WARRANTY on product SERVICE FORM & include
a valid, itemized receipt with the purchase date on it, or an invoice from previous service
work. If warranty provisions have been voided, there will be a service fee.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
• Dealers/distributors are not authorized to replace products thought to be defective.
• If a hobby dealer returns your product for service, submit a completed product SERVICE
FORM to dealer & make sure it’s included with items.
PRODUCT WARRANTY
Novak Brushless motors 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 incor-
rect installation, components worn by use, cross-connection of battery/motor power wires, overheating solder
tabs, damage resulting from thermal overload or operation above 175°F, use of excessive timing or overheating,
splices or damage to the sensor harness, damage from disassembling motor, tampering with internal electronics,
allowing water, moisture, or any other foreign material to enter motor or get onto the PC board, short-circuiting
of motor by allowing exposed wiring or solder tabs to cross-connect or ESC applying simultaneous power to
more than one phase at a time from switching to Brush Mode, free-revving motor, or any damage caused by
a crash, flooding, or natural disaster. In no case shall our liability exceed the product’s original cost. We reserve
the right to modify warranty provisions without notice.
Because Novak R/C, 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 thoroughly
tested and cycled before leaving our facility and is, therefore, considered operational. This product is not a toy,
and is not intended for use by children under 14 years of age without the strict supervision of an adult. Use of
this product in a uncontrolled manner may result in physical damage or injuries. Take extra care when operating
any remote control vehicle. By the act of connecting/operating speed control, the user accepts all resulting liability.

Should any of the 26G Teflon wires pull out of the motor’s sensor
harness connector, re-insert them in the connector’s appropriate
slot as shown below. There is a small plastic tab that grabs a small
raised barb on the back of the metal socket crimped onto the Teflon
wire’s end. Check the plastic tab to make sure it has not deformed
excessively before inserting the socket into the plastic connector
housing with the barb toward the plastic tabs.
Note: Remove or loosen the bearing cap to remove or insert a sensor harness.
