Novak’s Smart Boost 1-Cell Li-Po Step-Up Module allows nearly any brushless or brushed speed control, receiver and servo to run on 1-cell Li-Po. This new technology expands racing opportunities for many drivers by reducing racing expenses and giving drivers the chance to race on smaller tracks.

The Smart Boost increases the 1-cell Li-Po battery pack’s voltage from 3.3V – 4.2V to 6V, ensuring that the receiver and servo receive a full 6V/3A power throughout the duration of a run. This allows the electronics to operate at their optimum levels. Additionally, the Smart Boost gives you the ability to run a 1-cell Li-Po cell with the same ESC, servo and receiver that you would normally run with any 2-3S Li-Po or 4-7 cell NiMH battery pack, including all of Novak’s brushed or brushless speed controls.

Estimated Ship Date: end of February 2009

Novak’s Mongoose Crawler Micro Brushless System – 18.5T (#3055) is the first micro sensor-based system specifically designed for 1/18-scale crawler vehicles. The fully-programmable Mongoose Crawler System includes all of the features found in the Goat System, such as  instant throttle response, super low-speed driveability and explosive torque, but also includes the ability to run on two or three-cell Li-Po batteries, which the speed control automatically detects through Novak’s auto detect software. Though the micro-sized system packs a lot of power, it fits perfectly in Losi’s® Mini Rock Crawler™, giving users the edge in crawling competitions.

Novak’s powerful Havoc 3S Brushless/Brush ESC (#1733) is based on the Havoc Sport ESC, which is available with the Havoc Sport Sensored Brushless System (#3038) and Havoc Spec Brushless Systems (#3033 – #3036). The Havoc 3S has the ability to run on either two or three-cell Li-Po batteries, which the speed control automatically detects through Novak’s auto-detect software. This feature allows users to run a wider range of batteries and – for the speed-hungry racers – bestows the Havoc 3S with even more speed than the original 2S Li-Po Havoc Sport ESC. The Havoc 3S’s small footprint and low cost make it a perfect complement for1/10-scale off-road and on-road vehicles, such as theTraxxas’® Slash Pro 2WD Short Course Truck™, HPI’s® E-Firestorm 2WD 1/10th Stadium Truck™, Kyosho’s® LAZER ZX-5 SP™. Additionally, the Havoc 3S contains one of the strongest BECs for sport applications and includes nine adjustable parameters to fine-tune brake and throttle response.

Brushless racing is within your grasp with Novak’s Havoc Sport Sensored Brushless System. Though the sport system offers the same great features found in all Novak motors and speed controls, it exceeds expectations with its performance and unmatched affordability. The 540-sized motor is equipped with a sintered rotor for precise throttle response and resistance to high temperatures, and is sensored for low-speed driveability and consistent brakes. The Havoc Sport Brushless/Brush ESC contains one of the strongest BECs for sport applications and includes nine adjustable parameters to fine-tune brake and throttle response. Combined, the Havoc motor and speed control promote the fastest racing times for any comparable system. Also, its small footprint and low cost make it a perfect complement to Traxxas’® Slash Pro 2WD Short Course Truck™, HPI’s® E-Firestorm 2WD 1/10th Stadium Truck™, Kyosho’s® LAZER ZX-5 SP™ and other 1/10-scale off-road and on-road vehicles. In short, the Havoc Sport Sensored Brushless System is smaller, stronger, faster and, most importantly, the most inexpensive sensor-based system available.

With input from the top drifters of the world, Novak has developed the specially designed SLYDR Brushless Drift System (#3066-3068). This system includes the new SLYDR Brushless Drift ESC (#1712) factory-wired to one of three, new Novak Drift-Spec Brushless Motors (#3466-3468). These 540-size sensored brushless motors include the Novak 13mm Neodymium Sintered rotor for improved initial throttle response and natural drag brake. The SLYDR Drift ESC, which is based on Novak’s GTB, contains new brake adjustments and features to help fine tune brake response, as well as all new throttle curve adjustments to further customize the already-smooth throttle response.

SLYDR BRUSHLESS DRIFT SYSTEM WINDS
Novak’s SLYDR Brushless Drift Systems are available in three motor winds:

• SLYDR Brushless Drift System – 6.5T (Kv=5,700; Watts=370) provides the most power to light your tires up and excels on large tracks (#3066).
• SLYDR Brushless Drift System – 7.5T (Kv=5,200; Watts=340) is the best all-around-motor with a great balance between power and run time. It also works well on medium-sized tracks (#3067).
• SLYDR Brushless Drift System – 8.5T (Kv=4,500; Watts=280) has the smoothest power response and longest possible run time. The 8.5T is also ideal to use on small tracks (#3068).

Novak has reinvented the HV Pro High-Voltage Brushless ESCs yet again since it was released in 2006. The series now includes new programming, built-in Li-Po Cut-Off Circuitry and a design makeover. The updated HV Pro ESCs were specifically developed by Novak for R/C cars, and are ideal to power monster trucks — such as the Traxxas® E-Maxx™ and E-Revo™ — converted electric 1/8-scale vehicles and vehicles with massive power needs.

HV PRO BRUSHLESS/BRUSH ESC
Completing the HV Pro Brushless System is the fully programmable HV Pro ESC, which can accommodate 6-14 Ni-Cd/Ni-MH cells (7.2-16.8 volts) or 2S-4S Li-Po and can be wired for dual or single battery packs. This high-power, reversible brushless speed control is also easy to install and operate. The HV Pro uses the same screw pattern as the Traxxas® E-Maxx™ and E-Revo™, making it convenient to install, and it includes a Power-Boost ESC Cooling fan kit and factory-installed motor heat sink for superior cooling.In addition, the HV Pro High-Voltage Brushless ESC includes many of the same great features found in high-quality Novak ESCs, such as One-Touch Set-Up, Thermal Overload Protection, a powerful BEC, Polar Drive and Digital Anti-Glitch circuitries and Smart Braking II.
