Matt Check out this new ESC from Team Novak. Tons of features packed in this bad boy.
Here is Team Novak’s release. We definitely want to check out this ESC when it is released.
Checkout some of the features in the Activ8!
| ACTIV8 ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS | |
| Drag Brake | Allows tuning of the auto brake, drag brake or coast brake response |
| Dynamic Timing | To disable, activate, and adjust the amount of Dynamic Timing Advance™ that is applied to motor |
| RPM Set Range | Allows control when and how the Dynamic Timing engages with regard to the motor’s actual RPM |
| Drive Frequency | The throttle response or sensitivity allows fine-tuning of the motor’s snap or feel |
| Brake Frequency | The brake response or sensitivity, allows fine-tuning of the motor’s brake feel |
| Minimum Drive | The lowest RPM the motor can start, which allows adjustment of the “punch” |
| Minimum Brake | Initial brake tuning allows adjustability to how quickly or hard your brakes bite at first application |
| Deadband | The space between the brake and throttle allows you to adjust your basic throttle sensitivity |
ADDED PROTECTION AND ENHANCED ERROR MONITORING
Low-Voltage Protection – A new low-voltage LiPo protection segment has been developed and will monitor the LiPo pack voltage thousands of times per second. In order to prevent the pack from ever falling below the critical safety voltage, the ESC will simply reduce the power, slowing down the vehicle. ?
Thermal Protection – The ESC keeps tabs on its core operating temperature and will back down its power to prevent the ESC from overheating. ? On-Board Temperature Diagnostics – With a quick tap of the One-Touch button, multi-colored LEDs will indicate how hot the ESC is for instant temperature information.
Error Sensing – Sampling has been expanded to provide additional feedback via multi-colored LEDs, allowing for quicker trouble-shooting.
Motor Lock-Up Protection – If your drive train or motor becomes bound up or jammed, the ESC will detect this and cut the power to prevent damage.
Hall Effect Sensor Test – This built-in test allows you to confirm that your motor’s sensors and sensor harness are in good working order.
MOTOR COMPATIBILITY
The Activ8 Racing Brushless ESC was primarily designed for use with Novak’s Ballistic 8 Racing Brushless Motors, but is also compatible with Novak’s Ballistic 550 Racing Brushless Motors, and all popular 1/8th-scale (15XX-size), 550-size, and 540-size, 2 or 4-pole, sensored brushless motors.
