Spy Micro-Reversible ESC

The SPY is Novak’s micro-sized, forward/reversible speed control that is specifically designed for use with any 4-7 cell, 1/24 – 1/18 scale R/C car.

The Spy measures just 1.12in x 0.95in x 0.48in (28.45mm x 24.13mm x 12.06mm), and weighing a mere 0.51 oz. (14.4 g). HPI-type connectors are pre-wired for convenient installation. While its compact size may tempt racers who are on the lookout for the extra advantage found in a tiny, lightweight speed control, it is important to note that the SPY is not intended for use in R/C cars with 540-size (05) R/C motors.

The SPY includes the same standard features as all current Novak-manufactured speed controls: One-Touch Set-Up, Radio Priority Circuitry, Polar Drive Technology, Thermal Protection, Smart Braking, and Reverse Disable. While Novak ESCs are easily recognized by their bright orange case, the SPY deviates ever so subtly from this practice, yet still makes its Novak heritage apparent. A new translucent orange case is the SPY cover of choice, allowing anyone to take a glimpse into its inner working, while still keeping Novak’s technological secrets intact.

Like the application for which it is intended, the SPY has a smaller price tag than other speed controls currently manufactured for these smaller-scale cars. With a list price of $99, the SPY is a veritable bargain.
