Novak is excited to announce its newly-developed speed control technology called Novak X-Drive. This ultra-efficient brushless motor firing technology has been added to all Novak Havoc Pro SC Brushless ESC. This new update significantly improves the throttle feel and response and it also reduces the ESC’s operating temperatures for more efficient operation. Team drivers, test drivers and customers who have run the Havoc Pro SC with X-Drive in side-by-side comparisons to their original ESC have all noticed an incredibly smooth feel, improved drivability, lower temperatures, and overall higher performance resulting in faster lap times and longer run times.

Exotek Racing release the extra flex top deck for Tamiya’s TRF417 touring car. The part is aggressively shaped for extra flex over the stock 417 top plate and uses US made bi-directional layup carbon fibre for maximum flex traits. The rear section has added cut outs for greater flex at the motor mount for increased rear end stability allowing you to drive into corners harder and power out faster. Great tuning aid to have to extend tire wear and generate maximum grip for controlled tire races.
