Novak HV BL Motor with 5mm Shaft Categories - Novak, Motors, Electric, Products - comments closed
Novak have released some additions to their range of HV High Voltage brushless motors, with the introduction of these 5mm shaft versions. These 550-size sensored brushless motors are available in four motor winds 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5, and include a Sintered rotor with a rugged 5mm output shaft. The HV Series is ideal for monster trucks, converted electric 1/8-scale vehicles and vehicles requiring massive power output. Additionally, the motors are sensor-based, so they always know the position of the rotor, which provides excellent starting torque and continuous synchronization for smooth, controlled low-speed driveability and consistent brakes. The HV-Series of motors also features a shielded sensor cable with sheathed sensor wires and a completely rebuildable design.

Novak Mongoose Micro Brushless System Categories - Connectors, Novak, Motors, Electric, Products - comments closed 
Novak has released their latest line of micro brushless systems, with the announcement of the release of the Mongoose Micro Brushless System. This system includes the new Novak Mongoose Brushless/Brush ESC factory-wired to one of three, new Novak Three-80 Micro Pro Brushless Motors. The Three-80 Micro Pro is the first sensor-based brushless motor that is specifically designed for 1/18 and 1/16-scale cars. Because it is sensored and lightweight, it gives micro scale cars the ability to manouver at high speeds in extremely tight spaces, all with unsurpassed low speed and braking control. The Mongoose’s Brushless/Brush ESC and sensored brushless motor are perfectly matched to maximize performance and handle with the agility and speed of a mongoose.

Novak Micro Sensored BL Motor system Categories - Novak, Motors, Electric, On Road, Products - comments closed
While specifications and features are not yet fully finalized, Novak have announced that their are in the process of finalising this new micro system which will feature the same sensored technology employed in their GTB, XBR and HV systems. This sensored design ensures silky smooth, low-end throttle and brake performance yet still retains quick response throughout the rest of the throttle and brakes. The motor is a standard 380-size and will easily fit in most available 1/18-scale vehicles such as the Xray M18 shown above. The ESC is roughly the size of Novak’s GTX. Available in the near future.

Novak 3A High-Voltage Universal BEC Categories - Regulator, Novak, Electric, Products - comments closed
This product was released earlier in the week but we didn’t get around to writing about it then and so here it is today. Novak’s 3-Amp High-Voltage Universal BEC allows you to run higher voltage main battery packs, up to 26.4 Volts (4-22 Ni-MH Cells or 2-7 Li-Po), and regulates output to 6 Volts/3Amps to provide consistent power to your electronics throughout the charge. It is ideal for applications that use higher main battery pack voltage above 12 or more volts in the main battery pack due to the fact that most speed control BECs have difficulty handling more then 8.4 volts input.
