Novak's newest entry into the racing arena is the Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) Tuning Rotor (#5954). Developed to withstand extremely high temperatures, Novak developed this rotor to retain its core magnet strength over the course of the run so that your motor runs consistently and will not suffer from fade. Braking and throttle response is also more consistent. Using SmCo rare-earth materials, this rotor has higher demagnetizing ability than Neodymium, and will increase, and better sustain, RPM under load. This all translates to improved efficiency and added temperature tolerance-all crucial characteristics when you find yourself pushing the limits of racing. Recommended for all applications.
