Passionate – Speed Passion Gran Turismo LPF ESC

The Speed Passion name is around in the scene for some time now, making itself popular especially with the Competition R range of Modified brushless motors used by World Champions like Surikarn C. or Marc Rheinard. After the initial success of the motors it was only logical to develop a line of suitable brushless speed controllers.

First up SP the Gran Turismo and Feigao ESC for all 1:10 scale needs with a small footprint, low weight and high specs. From the beginning the Gran Turismo speedo was designed especially for all high current applications such as on- and off-road racing with low turn high power Modified motors (down to 2.5T). A bit later the more spec racing oriented Feigao was dropped in favour of the new Gran Turismo LPF which uses the proven Gran Turismo architecture and footprint – different from the Feigao.

Novak Havoc Sport sensored BL system

Novak have released their 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.
