Possible receiver damageCheck operation with a different receiver. Possible internal damageRefer to Service Procedures.
Mount ESC with power wires away from other electronics & moving parts. Select a location that allows good airflow through and around the heat sink and cooling fan--Good air flow allows ESC to run cooler and more efficient! 1. MOUNT ESC IN VEHICLE using the included double-sided tape. Be sure the receiver & antenna are mounted as far from ESC, power wires, battery, & servo as possible--these components all emit RF noise when the throttle is applied. On graphite or aluminum chassis vehicles, it may help to place receiver on edge with crystal & antenna as far above chassis as possible.
Note: Mount the antenna as close to the receiver as possible--trail any excess wire off the top of the antenna mast (cutting or coiling the excess antenna wire will reduce radio range).

(refer to Figure 6 below for connections)
The GTB features the industry-standard receiver input connector on a user-replaceable input harness & works with all major radio brands new receivers. However, some very old receivers must have the wiring sequence in the plastic 3-pin connector housing changed. This is important, because receiver & servo electronics may be damaged if the sequence is incorrect.

JR Hitec Futaba New KO Airtronics Z
JR, Hitec, Futaba, new KO, & Airtronics Z receivers do not need input harness rewiring. Airtronics Z receivers have blue plastic cases & new KO cases have tabs on the input harness openings as in Figure 1. Plug one end of the input signal harness into the THROTTLE CHANNEL (#2) of receiver with the BLACK wire toward the outside edge of receiver case. Plug the other end of the input harness onto header pins 4-6 from the left on the side of the ESC with the BLACK wire going onto the 4th pin from the left. Note: All pin wiring designations are called out on the label on the GTBs heat sink.
1. NO SCHOTTKY OR MOTOR CAPS IN BRUSHLESS-MODE
DO NOT USE Schottky diodes with the GTB when the speed control is in the Brushless Mode (Profiles 1-5)--ESC damage will occur & void warranty. External motor capacitors are not required when operating the GTB in the Brushless Mode.
5. CONNECT MOTOR SENSOR HARNESS TO ESC
Insert the 6-pin connector on the end of the motors Teflon sensor wires into ESCs sensor harness socket--the connector is keyed and will only go in in one direction. Use the included spiral wrap to protect the 6 Teflon sensor harness wires between the ESC & motor.

1. MOTOR CAPACITORS

Electric brush-type motors generate RF noise that causes interference. You must use three 0.1F (50V) non-polarized, ceramic capacitors on all motors to reduce motor noise & prevent ESC damage.
Note: Some motors come with built-in capacitors. If your motor only has 2 capacitors, you need to install a capacitor between the positive & negative motor tabsIf you experience radio interference with built-in capacitors only, install external ones.
2. FACTORY-INSTALLED POWER TRANS-CAP REQUIRED
The GTB comes with a factory-installed Power Trans-Cap Module, and it MUST be used during both brushless & brush-type motor usage.
If Power Trans-Cap becomes dented or damaged, ESC failure can occur--replace immediately. Longer wires on the Power Trans-Cap Module will decrease performance.

6. SOLDER ESCS RED WIRE TO BATTERY PACK POSITIVE (+)
Cut the speed controls RED silicone power wire to the proper length so it will reach the battery packs POSITIVE (+) terminal. Strip 1/8-1/4 of insulation from the end of the wire. Tin and solder the exposed section of wire to battery pack POSITIVE (+).

4. SOLDER MOTOR POWER PHASE WIRES TO MOTOR
a. Cut the GTBs BLUE, YELLOW, & ORANGE silicone motor power wires to the desired length, and strip 1/8-1/4 of insulation from the end of each wire. Tightly twist the exposed strands of wire. b. Insert the ESCs BLUE Phase A motor wire into the hole in the motors A solder tab & solder. Use a soldering iron to apply heat to exposed wire that extends through the PCB, and begin adding solder to tip of soldering iron and to the wire. Add just enough solder to form a clean & continuous joint from the plated area of the solder tab up onto the wire. Use side cutters to trim remaining (now soldered) wire extending beyond the solder tab (about 1/16 above PCB). IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT OVERHEAT SOLDER TABS
Prolonged/excessive heating of solder tabs (motor or ESC) will damage PCB.
Old-style KO Old-style Sanwa/Airtronics
If you have an older KO or Sanwa/Airtronics, you must change the sequence of the ESCs input harness wires--Old Sanwa/Airtronics cases are black color & Old KO cases do not have tab openings, as in Figure 2 above. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, remove the red & black wires from the plastic housing at the receiver end of the input harness as in Figure 3 below. Interchange the red and black wires in the plastic 3-pin connector housing at the receiver end of the input harness. Insert modified end of the harness into the THROTTLE CHANNEL (#2) of receiver with the RED wire toward the outside edge of receiver case. Plug the other end of the input harness onto header pins 4-6 from the left on the side of the ESC with the BLACK wire going onto the 4th pin from the left.
Cut the speed controls BLACK silicone power wire to the proper length so it will reach the battery packs NEGATIVE () terminal. Strip 1/8-1/4 of insulation from the end of the wire. Tin and solder the exposed section of wire to battery pack NEGATIVE ().

using battery & motor connectors
Battery and motor connectors can be used for making your power wire connections, however they will never have as low of resistance as a good solder joint. If you are going to use connectors for your battery and/or motor, we suggest the Deans Ultra Connectors--do not use crimp on types as these can not handle the high currents found in racing systems. When using battery and motor connectors, please note the following: Use connectors that cannot be plugged in backwards--reverse voltage will damage the GTB and void the warranty. Use a female connector on battery packs to avoid shorting. Use a male connector on the GTBs battery lead. If you are going to use connectors for the motor power phase wires, you MUST TAKE EXTRA CARE to prevent cross phase connections as this will damage ESC and void the warranty.
For additional information on connector usage, visit our website.
0.1F capacitors are available in Novak accessory kit #5620. 2. INSTALLING OPTIONAL SCHOTTKY DIODE (Brush-Mode Only)
The GTB does not require an external Schottky diode under mild motor conditions. Use an external Schottky in applications with heavy or repeated braking (lap after lap), or when using lower turn modified motors to optimize the ESCs braking and motor performance. If using an axial lead Schottky diode as shown in the photo above (older Novak style--35V/8A min.), solder lead CLOSEST to the silver stripe on the Schottky diodes body to the POSITIVE (+) motor tab. Solder the lead OPPOSITE the silver stripe on the body to the NEGATIVE () motor tab. If using the Novak Racing Schottky Motor Module (this is the best performing Schottky diode available), solder the RED wire from the module to the POSITIVE (+) motor tab. Solder the BLACK wire from the Schottky module to the NEGATIVE () motor tab.
If Schottky diode is installed backwards it will be destroyed. Replace only with Schottky diodes with a minimum rating of 35 volts/8 amps. Racing Schottky Motor Modules are available in Novak kit #5636.
