To power the popular Ballistic 550 Brushless Motors, Novak presents the Havoc Pro SC Brushless ESC. It is specifically designed to meet the rigors of short course racing. In fact, it includes everything any short course enthusiast could ever want in a speed control. It boasts electronic timing, on-board programming with 14 adjustable parameters, and an improved braking system. The versatile speed control is also compatible with 540- and 550-sized brushless motors to easily power 2WD and 4WD short course trucks.Novak has piled on numerous features to the Havoc Pro SC. From its smaller case and cross-cut heat sink to its completely redesigned software, you won t even recognize it! Among the Havoc Pro SC s many features is its Dynamic Timing Advance. This electronic motor-timing feature has eight adjustable timing settings and increases the motor rpm dynamically throughout the throttle band. The additional rpm, in turn, results in higher speeds and improved speed control performance. Moreover, Novak added a timing indicator LED, which will illuminate white whenever timing is activated. This feature will help aid club racing events that run timing and non-timing events. To combat overheating while timing advance is activated, Novak has upgraded its Thermal Overload Protection feature. If the ESC starts to overheat, the speed control will turn off the timing advance. If ESC s temperature continues to rise, a second thermal-protection feature will engage. This feature drops the speed control s power to 25 percent, so drivers can safely maneuver their vehicle off of the track. On top of that, Novak is introducing a temperature indicator that alerts racers of their ESC s temperature after each run. This indicator is so accurate that many racers use it in place of a temperature gun. A quick tap on the One Touch button at the end of a run will display the speed control s temperature via a blinking LED.Another feature that originated with Novak s design team is the patent-pending NovaBrakes. This revolutionary braking system provides instantaneous braking under any timing condition. Additionally, the brake response is incredibly smooth and immediate at any speed or throttle position, ridding the ESC of brake delay. In short, this braking system has completely transformed the feel, response and use of traditional brakes. Combined with the NovaBrakes, Novak has refined the Havoc Pro SC s brake and drive frequency settings, and added a brake end point adjustment to provide drivers with unparalleled brake and throttle tuning options. The brake and drive frequency settings allow users to experiment with a softer or heartier brake and throttle input.Less
