Novak Havoc 1S/SS Pro Brushless systems

Novak have introduced these economical, easy-to-use Havoc 1S/SS pro brushless systems – 10.5T, 13.5T & 17.5T. This is the first speed control with specialized internal Novak Smart Boost circuitry that allows drivers to power their vehicle’s electronics on a single 1S LiPo battery pack without installing additional external boosters or receiver packs. The Havoc Sport 1S, which is also available individually, simplifies installation and operation, cuts down on vehicle maintenance and most importantly ensures that your vehicle’s electronics are powered properly. The self-contained ESC is ideal for beginners and local, club-level racers, and will excel in the Oval, World GT and 12-Scale racing segments.

LRP Vector X12 Aluminium tuning parts

LRP have released all new Vector X12 aluminium tuning parts to improve the performance and look of your brushless motor. Due to their special design the motor has better heat-dissipation and ventilation, resulting in a motor that runs a lot cooler. A motor that runs with lower temperature improves consistency and efficiency, making sure you will have maximum power also during the last lap. The new cool front housing with improved ventilation holes increases the airflow for a lower temperature, as well as lowering the overall weight of your brushless motor. The new black aluminium end cover with cooling fins, improves the heat dissipation significantly compared to the standard plastic endc over. Featured with laser engraved XTEC logo and A, B, C speedo cable connection, giving your motor a stylish look.

LRP Vector8 & SPX8 Brushless system

More news from LRP who have released their new 1/8 Brushless System. The new Vector8 brushless modified motor is based on the IFMAR World Championship winning XTEC X12 brushless modified technology. This motor is specifically tailored for 1/8 Off Road racing with its longer teardown with special cooling fins, longer stack, magnet and shaft for higher torque and maximum performance. To control that motor, LRP release the new SPX8 Competition brushless speedo which is based on one of the most successful competition speed controllers, the Sphere Competition TC-Spec. It now features a special 1/8 software and has especially been optimised for the use with 2S-4S LiPo batteries. The result is a high-end speed control that will enthuse the 1/8 electric R/C car scene.

Novak Ballistic Spec Brushless Motors

Novak have released their Ballistic Spec brushless motors in 10.5T – 21.5T, which are completely rebuildable, right down to the hardware. In fact, only one motor is necessary to compete in all spec class races. Simply pick your class of choice, and install the necessary color-coded, hand-wound stator. Each stator includes a factory-installed insert that easily identifies the number of motor winds. To complete the racing package, this next-generation spec motor series contains an easy-to-adjust timing assembly that alters the RPM range and retains previous user settings, allowing for strategic and smart spec racing. Additionally, these sleek motors are built to ROAR/IFMAR specifications, boast a removable shielded sensor harness, and contain a 12.3mm nickel-plated sintered Neodymium rotor for maximum motor acceleration, braking power and performance in high-temperature conditions.
