Novak has bred a micro brushless/brush ESC: the Mongoose Micro Brushless/Brush ESC. This micro ESC is factory wired to one of three Novak Three-80 Micro Pro Brushless Motors.The Mongoose's Brushless/Brush ESC and sensored brushless motors are perfectly matched to maximize performance and handle with the agility and speed of a mongoose.

The Mongoose Micro Brushless/Brush ESC is a versatile, fully featured speed control specifically developed for micro applications. In addition to its compatibility with both brushless and brush motors, it instinctively knows via its Auto-Detect Brushed Mode when a brush motor is connected. Multiple throttle profiles are included for different driving styles, including a racing brushless profile for top-level forward performance and two profiles with reverse. Additional features of the Mongoose Micro ESC are its on-board programmability, built-in 2S & 3S Li-Po Cut-off Circuitry, heavy duty 6.0V/2A BEC and a water-resistant case.

MOTOR COMPATIBILITY

The Mongoose Micro Brushless/Brush ESC is compatible with all three Three-80 Micro Pro Brushless Motors [8.5 (#3450), 10.5 (#3451) and 13.5 (#3452)].

The Three-80 Micro Pro motors feature a sensor commutation design. Knowledge of rotor position is key to smooth performance and is just as important in micro vehicles as in larger-scale vehicles. When the speed control always knows the rotor position, there is no hesitation before acceleration under load. The motor will provide smooth braking, low speed driveability, strong starting torque and controlled bursts of power. Other motor features include a high-strength, Sintered Neodymium rotor for maximum motor acceleration, an oversized front bearing for increased load handling and bearing life, and a rugged 1/8” shaft diameter. Like all Novak brushless motors, the Three-80 Micro Pro motors are rebuildable.

The Mongoose Micro Brushless Systems (#3050, 3051, 3052) and Three-80 Micro Pro Brushless Motors (#3450, 3451, 3452) are also available individually.
