thanks for the help

my novak gt7 has one:)its schottky diode module:yawn:provides longer run times,higher motor rpm,cooler esc operation,they recomend its not removed(damage to esc will occur,resulting in loss of warrenty) acording to my instruction leaflet:wtf:hope this is of help, dave.

dave thanks for the fast reply its much appericate i was baffled as to what this thing was lol

so i really could do with out it ? this is the first novak ESC i have seen with one of these fitted

that an x-ray ?

DO NOT remove it.

Northy thanks i will keep it fitted :)

xx4-nutter the car is a Team Losi JRXS Type R just been built (loved building it)

thanks for all the help guys its very much appericated

mine runs fine without one and it looks losi to me!

Just put the heatshrink back on it, shorten pr lengthen the distance between the ESC and the Schottky if you need to...but keep it on.

I think your car will probably run ok with out it, but if you need a little bit more oomph in a hurry then this large capacitor can deliver it to you quicker than your cells can.

lol just noticed the middle cell slot place :P lol i saw the funny looking alloy and saw x-ray for some reason. a guy had a JRXS at our local club before it was ace ! lol properly quick...

im sure ive seen a buggy version of that car before.......
