[NOV1733]* Novak Havoc 3S Brushed/Brushless ESC Speed Control

Novak has added a new speed control to the growing line of Havoc products with the powerful Havoc 3S Brushless/Brush ESC. Based on the Havoc Sport ESC the Havoc 3S has the ability to run on either two or three-cell Li-Po batteries, which the speed control automatically detects through Novak’s auto-detect software. This feature allows users to run a wider range of batteries and – for the speed-hungry racers – bestows the Havoc 3S with even more speed than the original 2S Li-Po Havoc Sport ESC. The Havoc 3S’s small footprint and low cost make it a perfect complement for 1/10-scale off-road and on-road vehicles. Additionally, the Havoc 3S contains one of the strongest BECs for sport applications and includes nine adjustable parameters to fine-tune brake and throttle response.

Cutting Edge Customization
For those interested in fine tuning, the Havoc 3S Brushless/Brush ESC offers a simple interface, making the system completely programmable with vast customization opportunities. One parameter, in particular, is Novak’s Throttle Curve that gives drivers the ability to experiment with two throttle responses – Linear and Expo – which range between a direct-throttle response to a smoother, more controlled low-end power delivery. In addition, the Havoc’s Brake Frequency adjustment contains seven degrees of adjustability from a smooth and controllable brake to a more abrupt and grabbier feel. Moreover, Novak has also built into the ESC a Li-Po Cut-Off Circuitry feature, which prevents the batteries from going below the critical safety voltage level. For further racing opportunities, Novak installed a Reverse Disable feature to turn the Havoc 3S into a forward-only brushless system for club-level racing.

Motor Compatibility
The Havoc 3S ESC is compatible with all brushless motors that have built-in thermal protection, such as Novak’s SS Pro Brushless Motor Series. Combined, the SS Pro motors and Havoc 3S is perfect for speed demons and, when used with 2S Li-Po, is ideal for ROAR-approved spec class racing.
