 The Super Sport SS5800 Brushless Motor is also compatible with the Super Sport Plus Brushless/Brush ESC (#1705), which is sold separately |
A Simply Super System
The Super Sport Brushless Motor System is the first in a series of brushless motor systems from Novak Electronics. The system includes the SS5800, a mild-modified, sensor-based, brushless motor--and a compact multi-profile speed control (Super Sport ESC #3205). Designed by Novak specifically for R/C car applications, the brushless motor and speed control easily fits in popular 1/10 scale R/C cars. We think you'll agree that this system is super for several reasons. Topping the list of reasons for using this system is that it will provide approximately 20% longer run times and higher performance than similar brushed motor systems--with virtually no maintenance thanks to no brushes, brush springs, or commutator to true or wear out. Also, the completely enclosed motor is protected from dirt and other elements harmful to it.
The Super Sport speed control has all the features expected from a Novak-designed ESC, and more. Six user-selectable throttle programs ensure that drivers of all skill levels will find a setting suitable for just about any application. The Super Sport ESC includes some of Novak’s newest features such as a Transmitter Check Mode, which checks whether the transmitter has enough “throw” in the forward and brake directions; Locked Rotor Detection Circuitry, which prevents motor, battery, and ESC damage; and Variable Throttle Step Technology; which gives the ESC its incredibly smooth performance. Other standard features included are: One-Touch Set-Up, Radio Priority Circuitry, Thermal Protection, and Polar Drive Technology.

Brushless motor technology has existed for quite some time. Since their inception, brushless motors have been rated by the following defined terms, which we have also applied to rate our Super Sport Brushless Motor System.
| Kv
|
This number is the motor voltage constant expressed in RPM/Volt. This indicates how fast the motor will turn for a given voltage (given there is no internal resistance). As an example, the SS5800's Kv rating is 5,800 RPM/Volt. Therefore, if a 6.0-volt battery pack is used, the SS5800's RPM would be 34,800 (6.0 x 5,800). |
| Kt
|
This number is the motor torque constant expressed in inch-ounce of torque per amp of current. This number is the amount of torque a motor would produce per amp of current draw. As an example, the SS5800's Kt rating is 0.45 in-oz/amp. Therefore, if the motor is drawing 5 amps, the SS5800 would produce 2.25 in-oz of torque (5 x 0.45). |
| Cogging
|
This term describes the non-uniform angular velocity of the rotation of the motor rotor. Rather than a smooth motion, the rotation occurs in jerks or increments. The lower the cogging, the smoother the rotation, which the driver will experience as smooth driving. The Super Sport's smooth acceleration and coasting is attributed to it being low-cogging. |
