Novak Havoc Pro SC Ballistic 540 8.5 #3122 Brushless System Review

Novak Havoc Pro SC Ballistic 540 8.5 #3122 Brushless System Review



From: Novak
Direct Link: Novak Havoc Pro SC 8.5


Reviewed by:Cubby@bigsquidrc





What’s In The Box- Havoc Pro speedo, Ballistic 540 8.5 motor, zip-ties, double sided tape, instruction manual, stickers, and heat shrink tubing. What it doesn’t come with- battery connector (I recommend Traxxas), solder (for solding up the battery connector and the 3 wires to the motor), motor screws, and pinion gear.


Build Quality- No complaints here, everything in the Novak system appeared top notch quality.


Test Drivers- Cubby, Brian (The Brain), Ryan (Race’n) R.


Test Venues- Outlaw RC in Collinsville Illinois, RiverCity Raceways in Peoria Illinois, Costco parking lot, streets of a local sub-division, grassy backyard


Set-up Notes- We used the Novak in an HPI Blitz ESE. Gearing ranged from the stock spur mated to a 16 tooth pinion up to a 22. We used MaxAmps 2S 6500 mah Race Spec packs on the Novak. We used two different radio systems, a Spektrum DX3R and a Futaba 3 PRKA. A Hitec servo was used with the Novak.


Ease Of Use- The Novak instructions are well written making the radio calibration process very easy. Making changes to the speedo’s adjustable parameters also proved very easy. Even the newest of noobs should not have a problem setting up the Havoc Pro.




Efficiency- Ya know, I set out intending to keep “strict records” of my runtimes. What happened in the real world… was that I totally forgot about the clock while driving (can you blame me for having too much fun?). So… I can’t give precise run times.


Drivability/Feel/Powerband- The Novak Havoc Pro proved very smooth across its entire rpm range. There were no sudden surges of power, just a constant linear pull, a nice flat power curve.


Thermalling- Our test unit never thermalled during any of our testing. Our ambient temps were not extremely high (around 80 F), but we did run after run after run with no heat issues.


Cogging- I did my best to get the Novak to cog but I failed. Even applying throttle at the base of a steep jump from a dead stop I was unable to get the Novak to cog. I tried giving it gas while slowly rolling backwards, still no cogging. If you want to know what cogging is don’t buy a Havoc Pro because you’ll never find out.


Power- Our Novak system had more than enough rip to make all the jumps at the local 8th scale track as well as enough yank to pop wheelies, churn up big rooster tails, etc. For a noob the 8.5 turn system would feel extremely fast but if you are a seasoned driver looking to blow the tires off your truck you might want to look at a lower turn Novak motor.


Brakes- The Novak came with some of the best brakes I’ve driven. Normally applying the brakes hard while driving a 2wd short course truck on a slick dirt track will leave you spinning around backwards, on the Novak you simply get slowed down controllably just like you should. The Novak brakes aren’t too soft, yet not too strong, they are just right.


Fit- Novak’s Havoc Pro speedo has a small footprint allowing it to easily fit in our test HPI Blitz. Because of the tidy footprint the Havoc Pro should fit in any short course application without issues.





SUMMARY


Time To Bash – 7.0/10 -Mount the Havoc Pro speedo and the Ballistic 8.5 motor, solder up a Traxxas plug and the 3 wires to the speedo, calibrate to your radio and you are dialed.


Car Show Rating – 7.0/10 – Smart looking design that was well received around the office.


Bash-A-Bility – 10.0/10 -Someone wanted me to huck the speedo and motor off the roof of my house (but I resisted the urge… LOL) and kept the Novak mounted in the truck. We experienced zero issues with our Novak system. No occasional shorts, no broken fans, no issues at all.


Fun Factor – 8/10 – The Novak Havoc Pro SC system provided hours of high fly’n fun. Plenty of smooth power tends to plant big smiles on the face.


Drivability – 9.0/10 – The Novak was noticeably smoother than the majority of brushless speedos I’ve ever driven


Power- 7.0/10 – Power is relative. If we are comparing our Novak Havoc 8.5 system to a 17.5 turn set-up then it puts out incredible power. If we are comparing our Novak system to a 6S powered 550 motor then it comes across as tame. The good news for you is Novak sells their Havoc Pro SC system in a variety of winds (read- power levels).


Value- 8.0/10 – The Novak was very smooth, it put out good power, and proved very reliable at a fair price point.


Big Squid Rating – 8.0/10 - Tentacles.. – Ultra smooth power, easy to use, and reliable, the Novak Havoc Pro SC system makes a great power system for your 2wd short course truck.

NOVAK Timbuk2 Brushless ESC w/ Ballistic Crawler Brushless System 13.5T Motor for Axial RC Wraith 4WD 3223



From Here to Timbuk2


The sport of Rock Crawling has become a major part of the R/C world, and Team Novak is proud to introduce their newest and smallest rock crawling ESC to the crawler line up, the Timbuk2 Crawler Brushless ESC - 2S (#1832).


The Timbuk2 is designed to work with Novak's Rock Crawling Ballistic and older-style Super Sport Crawling Motors. Basic operation of the ESC remains similar to its predecessors the Goat 2S and Goat 3S, but Novak has taken the advice of the rock crawlers and completely updated the braking adjustability and other features of the Timbuk2. New adjustments in the brakes means even more control and response from your crawler.


TAKING THE MYSTERY OUT OF ADJUSTABILITY


A feature that is central to the Timbuk2 is the complete on-board programming. No extra devices, plugs or cards are needed to maximize the features of this ESC. The Timbuk2's easy-to-use button and LEDs will guide drivers to their desired setting and allow them to make changes ON THE ROCKS! But have no fear, if adjusting and tuning is not your game, the setup out of the box works extremely well. You can tune anything from the strength of the brakes, to how smooth the throttle response is, and even the rotation of the motor. With dozens of combinations, the Timbuk2 has what you've been searching for in a Brushless Rock Crawling ESC.


ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY


In addition its compact and lightweight design, the Timbuk2 uses advanced MOSFETS that are incredibly powerful, yet small in size. This has allowed Novak to create a powerful ESC that boasts tons of power. Another sophisticated feature is the Novak-developed Rock Boost™. When the Timbuk2 reaches full speed for a fixed amount of time, Rock Boost engages and electronic timing advance is applied to the motor. This allows you to have ultra-fine low speed control, unstoppable torque, along with the top speed and higher RPMs of much faster motors. No need to use pricey 3S LiPo batteries for the speed you need.


The Timbuk2 also features completely updated braking adjustability with three distinct types of drag brakes. In addition to standard Hill/Drag brakes, and No Drag Brakes, the third braking style available is Novak's exclusive Rock Crawling Hill/Hold Brakes for use with heavy rigs and serious rock crawling. This braking method applies stopping power to the motor to hold the rig in place.

NOVAK New High Speed Motors & ESC Stocked



Ultimate High Speed Motor for Serious Racers

Have you always wanted to know what it would be like to have the same motor that a factory pro driver uses? Novak has recently launched 2 new premium brushless motors - #3610R and #3617R.

These motors and manufactured with highest quality components, for example, the vented end bells allow you to push the motors harder while not overheating. Ceramic bearings add efficiency to your motor's basic operation and are designed as long lasting durable bearings. What would a top-of-the-line motor be without red wire? The red wire stators are one of Novak's most coveted items, and are used in the Premium Ballistic Spec brushless motor.

Available at rcMart:

NOVAK (#3617R) Premium Ballistic 540 Racing Brushless Motor - 17.5T

Are you Keeping Your Speed Under Controlled?

The driving performance are not only influenced solely by the motors, but also affected by the efficiency of the ESC. Good ESC should have great torque and low speed drivability, the power that delivered from the ESC to the motor should be very smooth and should have multi settings options to adopt different road conditions.

Novak has recently launched new GTB 2 w/X-Drive Racing Brushless ESC (#1749), which has nine adjustable parameters to maximum performance on the track: Minimum Brake (10 settings), Drag Brake (10 settings), Minimum Drive (10 settings), Dead Band (5 settings), Throttle Curve (Linear/Expo), Brake Curve (Linear/Expo), Brake Frequency (10 settings), Brake End-Point (10 settings), and Drive Frequency (10 settings).
