Fine-Tuned for Oval Racing

OVAL SPEC 1S BRUSHLESS RACING ESC
Round and round they go, where they stop the winners know! Novak Electronics is pleased to introduce the Novak Oval Spec 1S Brushless Racing ESC (#1743), specifically developed for the extremely high demands of 1S LiPo oval racing. This speed control features our proven Novak X-Drive™ technology and enhanced Novak Dynamic Timing Advance™ algorithm that has been specifically developed for 1S oval racing, and is already shattering track records from California to Tennessee! To make tuning a snap, the Oval Spec 1S has as a completely redesigned LED menu for ultra-simple ESC tuning- no external devices required! That’s right, 6 settings and 5 LEDs provide all of the combinations needed to get you into the winner’s circle and keep you there!

EVERYTHING INCLUDED
Novak’s Oval Spec 1S ESC is based on the tried-and-true, competition-proven Havoc Pro SC with X-Drive platform, but has its own firmware that significantly simplifies the tuning of your ESC. In addition to some internal changes, the Oval Spec 1S is outfitted with a low-profile heat sink, factory- installed, ultra heavy-duty 12-gauge power wires, and completely replaceable input and switch harnesses. Everything you need for a professional installation is included.

OVAL-SPECIFIC FIRMWARE
The biggest changes are in how you adjust the timing and RPM values. Oval racing offers several “open” ESC classes. This almost requires that you have a laptop, computer, or some sort of complicated tuning device for your ESC. After working with the racing world’s fastest oval drivers, Novak has devised a simple tuning system that includes everything you need with 6 simple settings:

OVAL SPEC 1S ON-BOARD SETTINGS FOR PRECISE CONTROL
Timing Amount 15 settings This setting allows control over how much Dynamic Timing Advance the ESC applies to the motor. There are 15 factory settings (in precise 1-degree increments) including an OFF setting position for no-timing spec racing (“blinky” mode).
Start RPM 10 settings This feature allows control over the RPM the motor must reach before the Dynamic Timing Advance “kicks in”.
Final/End RPM 10 settings Allows selection of the top RPM at which the Dynamic Timing will be applied.
Drive Frequency 10 settings Ten settings to adjust the drive frequency for the perfect throttle response and feel. Adjustable from ultra smooth to aggressive.
Minimum Drive 10 setting Provides fine-tuning of minimum motor RPM which is generally needed on high-traction applications where hard-starts are needed.
Dead Band 5 settings Adjusts the neutral point sensitivity; allows for fine-tuning throttle input sensitivity.

With these six settings, you have everything an oval racer needs without the headache of additional adjustments that are not needed in 1S oval racing. Having control over motor timing and basic feel and response of settings provides the ideal formula to keep you on pace at any oval race—from high-banked paved oval tracks to the bullring-style flat carpet tracks.

1S racing has been proven to be an extremely popular segment of oval racing, and Novak is excited to offer a specially-designed ESC to the masses. From the beginner to the advanced traveling racer, the Novak Oval Spec 1S ESC has exactly what you need!
