Novak Kinetic 1S Racing Brushless ESC

The new Novak Kinetic 1S Racing Brushless ESC is optimized for 1S Li-Po racing. It sports a low-profile heat sink for easy installation in vehicles with space constraints and is also wired for use with a 2S LiPo receiver battery pack. Not only are these 2S receiver packs lightweight and easy to mount, but they also ensure the best possible radio performance, a great benefit to using the specialized Kinetic 1S. Like the Kinetic 2S, this speed control includes all of the most sought-after ESC features, such as Novak’s redesigned Dynamic Timing Advance, which is now unbelievably smooth throughout all of the timing levels, the advanced NovaBrakes system, which provides instantaneous braking under any timing condition and a highly developed Thermal Overload Protection feature that prevents thermal overload without taking drivers out of the race.
