ESC AND MOTOR FEATURES
The GTB 2 / Ballistic 550 Traxxas® 4WD Brushless Combo includes two of Novak's premiere products . The GTB 2 has a user-friendly One-Touch Programming Interface. This recently released Novak ESC has multiple adjustable parameters, and is sensor-based for excellent torque and low-speed drivability. Team Novak's Ballistic 550 Sensored Brushless Motor (#3504) delivers the highest performance in short course and 4WD racing.

The Ballistic 550s are powerful because of their extra long stator and rotor magnet. In fact, the stator and rotor magnet are twice the length of 540-sized motors, giving them twice the torque of an equivalent 540 motor. These 550 motors are not only the longest and best performing in the industry, but also serve as the standard for 4WD short course trucks. For racers looking for more motor power than they could ever want, the Novak Ballistic 550 motor is the best choice on the market.
