ENERGY IN MOTION

After years of designing, testing and perfecting, Novak – the forerunner of speed control technology – has completed its greatest engineering accomplishment. Novak’s flagship Kinetic Racing Brushless ESC (#1740), which is available in 10 Kinetic/Ballistic Brushless Systems – 3.5T-21.5T (#3140-#3149), includes all of the most sought after speed control features in R/C racing, such as dynamic motor timing, digital current control, complete on-board programmability and built-in PC interface software. But it wouldn’t be a Novak speed control if the Kinetic did not include some brand new features that will inevitably raise the standard for speed controls throughout the industry.

LEAVING THE REST BEHIND

The M2 Dig 3S ESC Combo (#1845) is one highly programmable, inexpensive package that will revolutionize the crawling industry. This first-of-its-kind, dual-motor compatible speed control – the M2 Dig 3S Dual Brush ESC (#1846) – is combined with two Terra Claw Crawling Brush Motors – 55T (#3556) and independently controls the motors to perform dig maneuvers. In addition to standard digs, the M2 sports independent biasing of the front and rear motors to allow for precise maneuverability through tricky terrain, and exceptional control on steep inclines and downhill descents. Additionally, the M2 Dig 3S ESC can be fine tuned via Novak’s fully adjustable PC interface, the NovaLink™ (#5440).

FUTURISTIC BALLISTIC CRAWLER

Because of their extreme high performance and versatility, the Goat 3S Crawler Brushless Systems – 18.5T (#3028) and 21.5T (#3029) can tackle all crawling conditions with a simple stator switch. Because the crawler-specific hardware is located outside of the hand-wound stators, drivers can replace the stators at any time to properly combat any type of terrain or course. The Goat 3S Systems also have the ability to run on either two or three-cell Li-Po batteries via Novak’s auto-detect software. Additionally, one of the three profiles is specific for worm-drive vehicles, which do not require electronic drag brakes.

REINVENTING RACING

Change your motor turn without changing out your motor with Novak’s ten Ballistic Wound Stators – 3.5T-21.5T (#S6603-#S6621). The Ballistic motors’ innovative design defines versatility by featuring interchangeable wound stator construction. By unscrewing the main screws, the motors’ end bells and sensor assemblies can be easily removed to leave only the stator, which can be replaced with a different wound stator. The ease of installation and numerous motor-wind options provides drivers with a cost effective way to race many different classes without purchasing a large number of motors.
