A MORE POWERFUL HAVOC
The Havoc 3S Brushless/Brush ESC includes a Clear Cooling Fan (#5648).
Novak's powerful Havoc 3S Brushless/Brush ESC with Traxxas® plugs (#1734) is based on the Havoc Sport ESC, which is available with the Havoc Sport Sensored Brushless System (#3038) and Havoc Spec Brushless Systems (#3033 - #3036). The Havoc 3S has the ability to run on either two or three-cell Li-Po batteries, which the speed control automatically detects through Novak’s auto-detect software. This feature allows users to run a wider range of batteries and – for the speed-hungry racers – bestows the Havoc 3S with even more speed than the original 2S Li-Po Havoc Sport ESC. The Havoc 3S’s small footprint and low cost make it a perfect complement for1/10-scale off-road and on-road vehicles, such as theTraxxas’® Slash Pro 2WD Short Course Truck™, HPI’s® E-Firestorm 2WD 1/10th Stadium Truck™, Kyosho’s® LAZER ZX-5 SP™. Additionally, the Havoc 3S contains one of the strongest BECs for sport applications and includes nine adjustable parameters to fine-tune brake and throttle response.
This product is equipped with Traxxas® compatible battery connector, able to handle a high-current, and ready for easy installation. In other words, no soldering! The Havoc 3S also includes gold-plated bullet motor plugs, which eliminate tricky wiring and allow the system to remove easily from the vehicle without soldering.
CUTTING EDGE CUSTOMIZATION
For those interested in fine tuning, the Havoc 3S Brushless/Brush ESC offers a simple interface, making the system completely programmable with vast customization opportunities. One parameter, in particular, is Novak’s Throttle Curve that gives drivers the ability to experiment with two throttle responses – Linear and Expo – which range between a direct-throttle response to a smoother, more controlled low-end power delivery. In addition, the Havoc’s Brake Frequency adjustment contains seven degrees of adjustability from a smooth and controllable brake to a more abrupt and grabbier feel. Moreover, Novak has also built into the ESC a Li-Po Cut-Off Circuitry feature, which prevents the batteries from going below the critical safety voltage level. For further racing opportunities, Novak installed a Reverse Disable feature to turn the Havoc 3S into a forward-only brushless system for club-level racing.
Couple up the Havoc 3S ESC with a SS17.5 Pro motor to make one of the most inexpensive spec racing systems on the market.
The Havoc 3S ESC contains Thermal Overload Protection circuitry to protect the system from overheating and damage. In fact, the ESC will only operate with brushless motors that have built-in thermal protection that follow ROAR guidelines. This sophisticated feature ensures a fun day at the track without the worry of overheating. For the complete list of compatible motors, click here.
The Havoc 3S ESC is compatible with all Novak 540-sized brushless motors, 8.5T and above, such as the Ballistic and SS Pro Brushless motors.
