novakballistic

Novak have released information on a new series of modified brushless motors they are to offer called Ballistic. This next-generation motor series contains a new, easy-to-adjust timing assembly that alters the RPM range, and includes heavy-duty solder tabs that are strong enough to endure repeated soldering and tough crashes. The sensored motors also sport a newly designed exterior with sleek, black end bells and a reconfigured rear end bell that fits more easily into racing vehicles. Each Ballistic motor is also equipped with a 12.3mm nickel-plated sintered Neodymium rotor for maximum motor acceleration, braking power and performance in high-temperature conditions, and Thermal Overload technology to ensure the motor is operating at a safe temperature. The motors also feature a completely rebuildable design, allowing for the ability to upgrade or replace various motor parts. The new Ballistic series will be available in six different motor turns ranging from 3.5T to 8.5T.

Features
Sensor-based for excellent torque and low-speed driveability
Oversized front bearing [1/2” x 3/16” (12.7 x 4.8mm)] for increased load handling and bearing life
Rebuildable design with removable shielded sensor harness, sensor assembly, wound stator, sleeve and both end bells
Nickel-plated, 12.3mm sintered Neodymium rotor with a 0.125” pinion shaft that accepts all existing pinion gears
Adjustable timing to help retain previous user settings
Meets ROAR and IFMAR specifications
Meets RoHS compliance and includes 120-Day Warranty

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.
