As an industry leader in technology, Novak is proud to introduce its first application for iPhone®, iPod® Touch and iPad™, as well as Android™! The new NovaGear™ application provides R/C drivers with Internal Drive Ratio and Gearing Recommendations for their vehicles. Brushless motor and ESC users can now easily determine where to start with their gearing settings by inputting their vehicle's specifications into the NovaGear™. The application supports over 10 brands and 100 cars, including a customizable profile option for cars not yet supported by the NovaGear™. Drivers no longer have to waste time and energy calculating what the NovaGear™ can do in seconds! Easy-to-use and convenient, this application is a must-have for all R/C enthusiasts.
GEARING PROFILES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
At a race or on the go, R/C drivers can now easily calculate and store vital information for their vehicles. Rather than referencing complicated user guides or online forums, the NovaGear™ is at your fingertips, and it can even save up to 10 gearing profiles to recall later. It's also time efficient and convenient, answering one of Novak's most common customer service questions: What gearing should I use?
CONVENIENT R/C TECHNOLOGY This application is not only handy, but incredibly easy to use: Simply enter the vehicle's make, model and motor/ESC timing. Then adjust the motor turn and spur settings accordingly, and the NovaGear™ does the rest! This application currently supports 2WD Buggies, 2WD Trucks, 4WD Buggies and Touring Cars. The application even features an in-app email feature, letting users email questions, suggestions or comments to Novak.
For more information, please visit the App Store on your Apple® product or Market on your Android™! This app is now available for only 99¢!

Warning: Gearing ratios calculated by the NovaGear are good starting points. Please note that motor operating temperature is the best way to properly set vehicle gearing. The motor and speed controller temperatures should never exceed 160°F (71°C) at any time during a run.
