Broken wires at sensor plug (5.5HV)
 

Question for Novak..

I had a bad wreck.. ESC was dislodged and the inertia pulled a few of the wires out of the sensor plug on my 5.5HV. I popped off the black rear cap to have a look.. There is no way i want to unsolder the stator wires and such..

Does Novak still service these motors, and if so, about how much does this type of repair run? Am I better off (monetarily speaking) just buying a new stator for my 4.5 Ballistic 550?? I prefer to run the HV motor as the ESC is a Mamba Pro, and I have issues with it running the Ballistic 550 but it runs the HV motors just fine..


Thanks for your time.. and for the help..

Not sure about the 550 size ballistics but I know on the 540s a new stator has nothing to do with the sensor wires. On the 540's you can replace the whole sensor wire if you want to or need a shorther or longer one

I don't have a problem with my 550... I have the problem with the permanent sensor wire attached to the HV series motor.

Thank you for the reply, but it doesn't seem as though you read my post correctly.

I have the HV motor installed because they work better with my current ESC. I also own a Ballistic 550 in a 4.5 turn.. I mentioned it because if the cost to repair the HV is more than the cost of just buying a 5.5 turn stator for the Ballistic, I'll just do that, as I have a new ESC arriving on Monday.

Sorry it was late and I didn't notice that you where talking about 2 different motors. The HV series and the 550 ballistics are the same motors just the ballistic is the new version, thats why I didn't notice that you where referring to two sepperate motors

Purchasing a stator for the Ballistic 550 is the least expensive option; we do have two RMF versions (w/new factory warranty) of the HV 550 in our store:

RMF HV High-Voltage Brushless Motors -- 5mm

And three new HV 550 winds:
