Novak Havoc 3S Brushless/Brush ESC

Novak’s powerful Havoc 3S Brushless/Brush ESC is based on the Havoc Sport and has the ability to run on either two or three-cell Li-Po batteries, which the speed control automatically detects through their proprietary 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 its predecessor. Featuring a small footprint and low cost, this ESC contains a very strong BEC for sport applications and includes nine adjustable parameters to fine-tune brake and throttle response.
