Novak Activ8 V2 ESC & HD8 brushless motor

Novak introduce the new Activ8 V2 brushless speed controller and the HD8 sensored brushless motor for 1/8th scale electric buggy and truggy racing. Starting with the controller, it is of a pure sensor-based design to offer the maximum in drivability and power output. The case features internal shock protection using silicone cushioning  to keep the internals from becoming damaged during hard landings, and a gasket seal keeps the elements away even on very dusty tracks. A full-coverage heatsink with direct contact to the Mosfets ensures maximum heat transfer and reliability which is further supported by a large fan unit with fan guard. To feed even the most power-hungry digital brushless servos the controller sports a high-current BEC system with programmable 6.0V to 7.2V output and up to 7A peak current. Software features like Novak’s own X-Drive for a smooth throttle feeling and NovaBrakes for a connected and controlled brake feeling round out the package. All software features are user customisable using the on-board programming feature or Novak’s new Pit Wizard Plus programming box.
