CHANGING THE INPUT HARNESS

STEP 2

HEAT SINK INSTALLATION

Two Micro Fin™ heat sinks have been included to provide

proper cooling for the Duster II Sport. The speed control will

operate cooler and run faster when the heat sinks are in-

stalled. DO NOT use the Duster II without the heat sinks, as

this voids the warranty and may cause the speed control to

overheat and become damaged.

1. INSTALL THE LEFT HEAT SINK

Place the speed control on a at surface and press one heat

sink (longer ns go down onto transistor tabs) onto the left

bank of 3 transistor tabs.

2. INSTALL THE RIGHT HEAT SINK

Press the second heat sink (again long ns down) onto the

right bank of 3 transistors tabs.

HEAT SINK PRECAUTIONS:

• Do not use too much force when installing the heat sinks

because you can damage the transistors or other compo-

nents on the PC board. Never use a vise or pliers to install

heat sinks.

• Press heat sinks onto the transistor tabs with a snug t. If

heat sinks t loosely, carefully bend each set of ns together

with pliers until the t is secure on the transistor tabs. Loose

or o-center heat sinks may fall o!

• Do not use glue or other types of adhesives to attach the

heat sinks to the transistor tabs.

• Do not short circuit heat sinks. The two separate banks of

transistor tabs or heat sinks should never contact each other

or other conductive objects (metal, graphite, etc.), or they

will short circuit and damage the speed control.

STEP 3

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. DETERMINE THE BEST ESC MOUNTING LOCATION

To prevent radio interference, the speed control should

be positioned away from the receiver and antenna as

shown in Duster II Set-Up Photo (Figure 6).

Choose a mounting position where the power wires

will not obstruct movement of the suspension or motor

platform and where maximum airow will be provided

through the heat sinks for proper cooling.

2. INSTALL THE SPEED CONTROL

Refer to Figure 4 for Installation Examples

Mount the speed control with the included double-sided

tape to isolate it from shock and vibrations, which can

cause the speed control to lose control of the car's speed.

Make sure the edges of the speed control do not come in

contact with some other component of the car (ex. chas-

sis side rail or battery box). After installation, the speed

control should be able to move freely in all directions

with a rubber-type action from the mounting tape.

NOTE: Two pieces of double-sided tape can be used for

extra protection against shock.

3. INSTALL THE ON/OFF SWITCH

Determine a convenient place to mount switch where

it will be easily accessible. Mount switch using a piece

of double-sided tape. If your car has a switch mount

molded into the chassis, remove the two phillips head

screws from the switch housing and re-assemble switch

into chassis using the 3/8" long screws that are included

in the speed controls accessory kit. Note the direction of

ON/OFF cover and reverse it if necessary.

4. INSTALL THE RECEIVER

Mount the receiver as far from the speed control, motor,

power wires, battery, and servo as possible. These com-

ponents all emit radio noise when the throttle is being

applied. If your car has a graphite or aluminum chassis,

place the receiver on its edge with the crystal and anten-

na as far above the chassis as possible. The receiver can

also be mounted on the shock tower. Mount the antenna

close to the receiver and trail any excess wire o the top

of the antenna.

5. INSTALL THE ANTENNA

Mount the antenna as close to the receiver as possible.

Trail any excess wire o the top of the antenna mast. Do

not cut or coil excess wire, or range will be reduced.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCING THE DUSTER II

The Novak Duster II Sport electronic speed control is ready to

create a dust storm on your track. Based on one of Novak's most

popular speed controls, the Duster Sport MEGAFET ESC, the Dust-

er II is a good thing made better.

Equipped with Novak's revolutionary Polar Drive Technology™

and

power packed HYPERFET II™ transistors, the Duster II runs faster

and longer than conventional speed controls. Polar Drive circuitry

provides smooth throttle response and improved radio system per-

formance. Built-in brake light circuitry has been included to power

two external LEDs, adding realism to Formula 1 and touring cars.

Novak's Brake Light LED Kit is included, so you can hook up brake

lights today!

Radio Priority Circuitry™ maintains control of your vehicle

after

the battery pack has dumped. Solid State RVP™ provides

rugged

protection against reverse voltage application without the need

for fuses, while the built-in BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) powers

the radio system with no need for an external receiver battery.

Other features include the Novak Input Plug System™ for compat-

ibility with all major radio systems, and purple Micro

Fin™ heat

sinks. Factory installed Tamiya style battery connectors

and bullet

style motor connectors make for quick and easy

installation of

the Duster II.

DUSTER II ACCESSORIES

BRAKE LIGHT KIT

The Duster II Sport speed control comes equipped with

built-in circuitry to power two brake light LEDs. Novak's

Brake Light Kit (#5655), complete with two high luminescent

LEDs and versatile mounting brackets, has been included.

The brake lights mount behind the tail light section of the

car body or onto most any vertical or horizontal surface on

the chassis or body.

MOTOR CAPACITORS

To prevent radio interference problems, you must have three

0.1µF capacitors properly installed on every motor. Included

with the Duster II Sport speed control are three 0.1µF (50V)

capacitors for one motor. Additional 0.1µF (50V) capacitors

are also available in Novak kit #5620. Refer to STEP 4 on back

page for proper motor capacitor installation instructions.

COOLING FAN

An optional ESC Cooling Fan (#5645) is available for use

with the Duster II ESC to provide extra cooling for heavy

load applications with limited air circulation. If the ESC gets

hot enough that it goes into thermal protection mode, we

recommend using the optional Cooling Fan.

PRECAUTIONS

• READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING!

• WATER & ELECTRONICS DON'T MIX! Do not operate model

in or around water. Never allow water, moisture, or other for-

eign materials to get inside the ESC.

• 4 TO 10 CELLS ONLY Never use more than 10 or less than 4

sub-C cells (1.2 volts/cell) in main battery pack.

• MOTOR CAPACITORS REQUIRED Three 0.1µF (50V) ceramic

capacitors must be properly installed on every motor to pre-

vent radio interference.

• DON'T LET TRANSISTOR TABS TOUCH Never allow the two

transistor tab banks or the heat sinks touch each other or any

exposed metal, as this will create a short circuit and damage

the speed control.

• DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES Always disconnect the battery

pack from the speed control when not in use.

• TRANSMITTER ON FIRST Always turn on the power of your

transmitter first so that you will have control of the radio

equipment when you turn on the speed control.

• DON'T GET BURNED! Transistor tabs can get hot, so be care-

ful not to touch them until they are cool.

• INSULATE WIRES Always insulate exposed wiring with heat

shrink tubing to prevent short circuits.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

The high frequency switching operation of electronic speed

controls can generate radio interference. Here are some

common causes of radio interference problems:

• CAPACITORS NOT INSTALLED ON MOTOR Electric motors

generate radio noise that can interfere with the receiver.

To prevent radio problems, every motor must have three

0.1µF (50V) ceramic capacitors installed on it. Refer to STEP

4 on back page for proper installation.

• RECEIVER/ANTENNA INCORRECTLY MOUNTED The receiver

and antenna should be mounted as far from the motor,

power wires, battery, and servo as possible, as all these

components emit radio noise. On graphite or aluminum,

place receiver on edge with the crystal and antenna as far

above the chassis as possible. Mount the antenna close to

receiver and trail any excess wire o the top of antenna. Do

not cut or coil excess wire!

• MOTOR BRUSHES WORN As motor brushes continue to

wear, excessive motor noise will be generated. To avoid ra-

dio interference, worn motor brushes should be replaced.

The motor commutator may also need to be cleaned or

trued to help the motor run more eciently.
