Novak's SS PRO-SERIES
Based on Novaks Velociti-Series Racing brushless motors, Novak's SS Pro-Series racing brushless motors are available in five motor winds:
- SS8.5 Pro Brushless Motor is 8.5 turns and is the fastest of the SS Pro-Series motors (#3408)
- SS10.5 Pro Brushless Motor is 10.5 turns and approved for ROAR Super Stock Class (#3410)
- SS13.5 Pro Stock Brushless Motor is 13.5 turns and approved for ROAR Super Stock Class (#3413)
- SS17.5 Pro Brushless Motor is 17.5 turns and is ideal for use in the 17.5-turn brushless class that organizations such as Brushless Racing League* and Southwest Tour* have instituted. Approved for ROAR Stock Class (#3417)
- SS21.5 Pro Brushless Motor is 21.5 turns and is the slowest motor in the SS Pro Series. It was specifically designed to offer oval and beginning drivers an even slower option, which makes it ideal for extended run times (#3421).When using a 2S Li-Po pack, the SS21.5 Pro brushless motor can match the speed of the Novak SS10.5 Pro (#3410) brushless motor on a 4-cell Ni-MH pack.

SS 13.5 UPGRADES & STANDARD SS PRO MOTOR FEATURES
The second upgrade to the SS13.5, and a standard feature of the SS Pro Series, is the set of ribbed aluminum end bells. The lightweight aluminum end bells not only reduces the overall weight of the motor, but the ribbed design also acts as a heat sink by efficiently removing excessive heat from the motor.
The last upgrade to the SS13.5 is the orange timing ring located on the rear end bell. The color-coded, non-removable, non-replaceable timing ring will be of great assistance to race directors and officials in ensuring the correct motor is used during racing. The timing ring is a visibly easy way to check that racers are compliant with race rules. The SS10.5 Pro features a blue timing ring located on the rear end bell.
ADDITIONAL SS PRO MOTOR FEATURES
The SS Pro brushless motors are equipped with all of the great standard features found on all Novak motors, including: a convenient Solder Tab System for easy wire replacement; Sensor-Based Technology for excellent starting torque, low-speed drivability, and smooth acceleration; the same Oversized Front Bearing used in Novaks Velociti-series motors that is more rugged, extra durable, and helps extend motor life; and Thermal Overload Protection (when used with a Novak brushless ESC) that allows pack after pack to be run without fear of damaging the motor, battery, or speed control.
Of its many features, its sensor-based design allows for most of the motor's important benefits, including the following:
- No Cogging--Thanks to constantly knowing the rotor position, the motor provides instantaneous throttle response & smooth transitions from neutral to drive. The rotor position knowledge is attained due to the ESC & motor being continuously synchronized via the motor harness.
- Smooth & Controlled Low Speed Driveability--Always knowing the rotor angle is key to smooth acceleration without delivering abrupt and uncontrolled bursts of power.
- Strong/Consistent Brakes & Starting Torque--Rotor position knowledge results in consistent starts & stops, without hesitation or inconsistent lag times before acceleration or braking--this translates to consistant lap times.
- Thermal Protection--Position & temperature sensors inside motor provide unparalleled thermal protection, letting you to run pack after pack without worrying about overheating the motor, ESC, or magnets.
All Novak brushless motors are designed by Novak in Irvine, Calif. Each motor is factory hand-wound and is put through rigorous testing, including a final dyno test to ensure that each motor meets Novaks rigid specifications.
ESC COMPATIBILITY
The SS Pro Brushless Motors are compatible with all Novak brushless ESCs, including:
PRO-SERIES BRUSHLESS SYSTEMS
Several SS Pro brushless motors are available in a combo system factory-wired with a GTB Programmable Racing Brushless/Brush ESC (#1710). Novak brushless systems include everything to be race-ready, out of the box, so there is nothing extra to buy or install.
- GTB/SS8.5 Pro Brushless System (#3008)
- GTB/SS10.5 Pro Brushless System (#3010)
- GTB/SS13.5 Pro Stock Brushless System (#3013)
- GTB/SS17.5 Pro Brushless System (#3017)
To address the popular 4-cell brushless racing classes, the SS10.5 Pro and the SS13.5 Pro Stock Brushless Motors are available in a combo system factory-wired with a GTB 4-Cell Programmable Racing Brushless/Brush ESC (#1714):
- GTB 4-Cell/SS10.5 Pro Brushless System (#3040)
- GTB 4-Cell/SS13.5 Pro Stock Brushless System (#3043)
- GTB 4-Cell/SS17.5 Pro Brushless System (#3047)
RECOMMENDATIONS
To find out which motor or motor system is best suited for you, Novak has the following recommendations:
4-6 CELL or 2S BRUSHLESS SYSTEMS:
- GTB/SS8.5 Pro Brushless Systemthis system is the perfect brushless system for use with sport battery packs and entry-level equipment. It is also ideal for off-road racing and general applications. (#3008)
- GTB/SS10.5 Pro Brushless Systemthis system is ideal for use in 10.5 ROAR Super Stock races. (#3010)
- GTB/SS13.5 Pro Brushless Systemthis system is ideal for use in 13.5 ROAR Super Stock class races. Its lower speeds provide better vehicle control for newer drivers and longer run-times for those wanting to get valuable practice time on the track. (#3013)
- GTB/SS17.5 Pro Brushless Systemthis system is great for use in the 17.5 ROAR Stock class races and with other race organizations, such as the BRL and SWT.
4-CELL BRUSHLESS SYSTEMS:
- GTB 4-Cell/SS10.5 Pro Brushless Systemthis system is ideal for use in the 4-cell Brushless Racing League (BRL) Pro 4300 and ROAR Super Stock class races. (#3040)
- GTB 4-Cell/SS13.5 Pro Brushless Systemthis system is ideal for use in the 4-cell Brushless Racing League (BRL) 13.5 and ROAR Super Stock class races. (#3043)
- GTB 4-Cell/SS17.5 Pro Brushless Systemthis system is great for use in the ROAR Stock class races and with other race organizations, such as the BRL and SWT.
