FIRST DUAL MOTOR ESC

Picture the functionality and utility of two Novak crawling speed controls and Novak’s Dig Unit; now, envision it in one highly programmable, inexpensive speed control and you get the revolutionary M2 Dig 3S Dual Brush ESC (#1846). This controller combines 6 adjustable parameters with its solid performance, including a separated drag brake and dig function.

With only the addition of two brushed crawler motors, the M2 Dig controls both motors and performs dig maneuvers. In addition to the standard Dig Mode, the M2 features a Proportional Dig Mode which allows you to dial-in partial Dig Power on the fly for even finer control and precise maneuverability through tricky terrain. It also features an exceptional control on steep inclines and descents. Plus, the built-in electronic Dig Power is independently adjustable from the Hill/Drag Braking. This truly unique speed control supports both 2S and 3S LiPo!

Because of its unique features, the M2 Dig 3S is perfect for the Axial© XR10™! The M2 Dig 3S ESC / Dual Terra Claw Brush Motor Combo (#1845) is matchless when used in Motor-On-Axle vehicles, exceeding the performance of traditional two-system setups. The M2 ESC is also compatible with other dual-MOA vehicles, such as EnRoute’s® Berg™, Integy’s® Super and Unlimited Class of crawlers, and Clod Buster®-based vehicles.

A SPECIALIZED DIG
The compact M2 Dig ESC is easy to install and operate. There are three fully programmable throttle profiles: Dig Mode, Proportional Dig Mode and Single Output Mode.

The M2 Dig 3S ESC installed in an Axial© XR10™.

Single Output Mode is for applications with single motors or operation without a 3-channel transmitter. In this mode all four motor power wires can be soldered to one brush motor for higher performance, or connect two motors and control them both at the same time.

In addition to crawling applications, the M2 Dig 3S ESC is ideal for applications that require two motors, such as robots, boats, tanks and submarines.

The powerful speed control also comes equipped with instant reverse via Novak’s Zero Reverse Delay, which provides immediate power delivery in both forward and reverse directions.

The M2 Dig 3S ESC includes two different-colored external LED indicator lights that visibly display when a motor is locked.

NO MODIFICATIONS NECESSARY
Like Novak’s Electronic Dig Unit (#5450), the M2 Dig 3S ESC does not require any vehicle modifications to install or operate. Simply plug it into any three-channel surface receiver, and you’re ready to crawl! This ESC is not only easy to install into a vehicle, but it possesses countless features on its own! Compared with a Dual ESC setup, the M2 allows crawlers to use top of the line crawling technology with just one speed control.

The M2 Dig 3S ESC is easily programmed into most three-channel transmitters, such as the Spektrum® DX3R DSM2 3CH Surface Radio™, Airtronics'® M8 and M11 R/C Radios™, and a Traxxas® (TQ-3) Transmitter™*

*Note: As of October 1, 2011, the M2 Dig 3S ESC is no longer compatible with the NovaLink PC Programmable interface.
