|
After years of designing, testing and perfecting, Novak – the forerunner of
speed control technology – has completed its greatest engineering
accomplishment. Novak’s flagship Kinetic Racing Brushless ESC (#1740), which is
available in 10 Kinetic/Ballistic Brushless Systems – 3.5T-21.5T (#3140-#3149),
includes all of the most sought after speed control features in R/C racing, such
as dynamic motor timing, digital current control, complete on-board
programmability and built-in PC interface software. But it wouldn’t be a Novak
speed control if the Kinetic did not include some brand new features that will
inevitably raise the standard for speed controls throughout the industry.
PERSONALIZED RACING SPEED CONTROL
Novak has packed the small and lightweight Kinetic with a multitude of features
that will, simply, improve any driver’s racing. Among the many adjustable
parameters, the Dynamic Timing Advance™ stands out for its self-adjusting
capabilities. The motor-timing feature increases the motor RPM dynamically from
signals throughout the speed control. This, in turn, will result in higher
speeds and improved performance. Another new element to Novak ESCs is the
precision, digital current limiting feature, known as Electronic Power Control™.
By adjusting the current limiter, drivers can fine tune their vehicle’s power
delivery and response, creating a more consistent throttle. The Electronic Power
Control also decreases system temperatures, prevents wheel spin and mutes
over-aggressive throttle use.
Two additional features that go hand-in-hand are the Brake and Throttle Curves.
Simply stated, these curves allow drivers to apply their brakes and throttle
more gradually or aggressively. But the most impressive element to these
parameters is their adjustability. Using Novak’s new PC interface, users can
customize preset brake and throttle curves graphically by simply dragging points
on the graph. Drivers can either save these customized curves or create their
own to test drive on a track later.
Another feature that can be fine tuned via Novak’s new PC interface is the
adjustable Voltage Cut-Off parameter. This feature allows drivers to select a
cut-off voltage value among a predetermined range of values for 2S Li-Po and
Li-Fe battery packs. This voltage cut-off flexibility can improve a vehicle’s
performance, while still protecting a driver’s battery investment.
The fast and smooth Kinetic also includes a Starting Line Mode that improves
drivers’ reaction time. Only a slight touch of the throttle will initiate the
speed control’s maximum speed. This feature improves racers’ chances of being in
the lead through the first turn, or the holeshot, quick trigger finger or not.
In addition to quick starts, Novak has fashioned a feature to simplify braking.
The Brake End Point aids fine tuning the Kinetic’s braking power without
changing the radio settings.
TUNE IN WITH THE NOVALINK
In addition to Novak’s easy-to-use One-Touch™ on-board programming interface,
the Kinetic ESC can be fine tuned via Novak’s fully adjustable PC interface, the
NovaLink™ (#5440). The optional NovaLink provides users with expanded
programming adjustability. The NovaLink Programming Interface comprises a unique
module that easily plugs into the Kinetic’s input harness and an included USB
cord. Using the integrated software disk, racers can fine tune the Kinetic’s
multiple parameters by inputting the desired values or using the user-friendly
graphic controls.
Additionally, each personalized set of parameters can be stored onto a PC to
recall and use again later. These custom-made parameter sets can, in addition,
be shared with other drivers to collaborate and find the best set up per
competition and race condition. The NovaLink will also never be outdated due to
the easy-to-download software updates available to NovaLink users on Novak’s Web
site. Furthermore, the NovaLink is compatible with Windows® XP™ and Vista™
computer-operating platforms.
The Kinetic ESC can be fine tuned via Novak’s fully adjustable PC interface, the
NovaLink™ (#5440).
In addition to driver file sharing, Novak also plans to create a database of
parameter settings for any racing condition or application. Simply, visit the
Novak Web site and search for your specific condition or track; download the
file and save it to your PC. This will give drivers a starting point when
preparing for a race and tips on how to properly adjust the Kinetic’s many
parameters. Through Novak’s Profile Selection feature, users can save up to two
parameter settings on their Kinetic and can switch between them using the
One-Touch interface to meet their application needs.
NEXT-GENERATION MOTORS
To complete the remarkable system, the sensored Ballistic motors contain an
easy-to-adjust timing assembly that alters the RPM range and features
interchangeable wound stator construction, which creates dozens of racing
options. Additionally, these sleek motors are ROAR/IFMAR approved, boast a
removable shielded sensor harness, and contain a nickel-plated sintered
Neodymium rotor for maximum motor acceleration, braking power and performance in
high-temperature conditions. And like all Novak racing motors, these brushless
motors are blisteringly fast, reaching speeds that will effortlessly satisfy any
racer or basher.
