As title,

I have a Novak GTX esc that up until recently worked ok. Now I have no brakes at all despite several attempts to set the drag and braking force parameters.

I have also changed the power capacitor but still no brakes.

Any advice would be most welcome :-)

It's a Novak gtx I had about 3 and all of them lost brakes, its a fet in the speedo that has blown up for sum reason. I don't no if you can send them off but I ran mine for ages without brakes then the forward fet blow aswell so I chucked it into the bin.

just make sure you havent changed any settings on your tx by mistake


most brushed speedo lose brakes if inadvertantly reverse connected f even if only briefly forward is usually ok
