User manual NOVAK HAVOC SPORT ESC CUSTOM PROGRAMMING AND GEARING GUIDE

[. . . ] These gearing recommendations are intended to provide initial safe operation. BrUsHLEss MOTOrs Havoc 8. 5 SS8. 5 Pro (Novak #3408) SS10. 5 Pro (Novak #3410) SS13. 5 Pro (Novak #3413) SS17. 5 Pro (Novak #3417) SS21. 5 Pro (Novak #3421) Motor output linear Novak's Throttle Curve adjustment allows drivers to tailor the throttle response of a vehicle, creating either a quick burst of power with the Linear Curve setting, or a smoother, controlled low-end power delivery with the Expo Curve setting. expo 0 Trigger position 100% Setting is fixed at "Linear" in Brush Mode. The Throttle Curve is selectable in Brushless Mode. PINION GEAr rANGE 15 through 20-tooth 15 through 20-tooth 17 through 22-tooth 20 through 27-tooth 25 through 30-tooth 28 through 33-tooth L I - P O C U T- O F F C I R C U I T R Y When active (see programming on reverse side to turn ON/OFF), the built-in Smart-Stop Li-Po Cut-Off Circuitry lets you safely use Lithium Polymer batteries by cutting off the ESC's throttle output when a critical safety voltage is reached. Decrease the pinion tooth number by 2-3 for motors without sintered rotors. ESC's factory default is Li-Po Cut-Off Circuitry Active The circuitry constantly monitors the pack voltage. When it gets close to the critical safety voltage (6. 25V) it begins interrupting, or `blipping' the throttle output as an early warning that the battery's voltage is getting low and the throttle output will soon be completely shut off. [. . . ] The 23-tooth pinion gear included in the RTR kit will provide speeds above 40 mph with a 7-cell battery pack. * THROTTLE PROFILES NOTE: The havoc's software has an Auto-Detect Brush-Mode. This feature will automatically switch the eSC from the Brushless Throttle Profile to Brush-Mode when it does not have a brushless motor's sensor harness plugged into it at start-up. BrUsHLEss PrOFILE BrUsH-MODE M O T O R R O TAT I O N S E L E C T I O N The Havoc software lets you reverse a brushless motor's rotation direction (see reverse side of this sheet to select rotation). This allows installation in vehicles with counter-rotating drive trains (or opposed transmissions), without compromising performance. Because the ESC will be operating in its normal forward & reverse modes, features like Smart Braking continue to operate normally. 1 w/Reverse Reverse% Programmable Minimum Brake% Drag Brake Dead Band% Minimum Drive% Throttle Curve Brake Frequency Motor rotation Li-Po Cut-Off on 100% yes 0% off 6% 1% expo on on on 2 on 100% yes 0% off 6% 1% linear off off on The Havoc ESC reverts back to default settings when One-Touch set-up is performed.
