Novak have introduced these economical, easy-to-use Havoc 1S/SS pro brushless systems – 10.5T, 13.5T & 17.5T. This is the first speed control with specialized internal Novak Smart Boost circuitry that allows drivers to power their vehicle’s electronics on a single 1S LiPo battery pack without installing additional external boosters or receiver packs. The Havoc Sport 1S, which is also available individually, simplifies installation and operation, cuts down on vehicle maintenance and most importantly ensures that your vehicle’s electronics are powered properly. The self-contained ESC is ideal for beginners and local, club-level racers, and will excel in the Oval, World GT and 12-Scale racing segments.

Novak have released their Ballistic Spec brushless motors in 10.5T – 21.5T, which are completely rebuildable, right down to the hardware. In fact, only one motor is necessary to compete in all spec class races. Simply pick your class of choice, and install the necessary color-coded, hand-wound stator. Each stator includes a factory-installed insert that easily identifies the number of motor winds. To complete the racing package, this next-generation spec motor series contains an easy-to-adjust timing assembly that alters the RPM range and retains previous user settings, allowing for strategic and smart spec racing. Additionally, these sleek motors are built to ROAR/IFMAR specifications, boast a removable shielded sensor harness, and contain a 12.3mm nickel-plated sintered Neodymium rotor for maximum motor acceleration, braking power and performance in high-temperature conditions.

Novak have released their Havoc Sport sensored brushless system. Though the sport system offers the same great features found in all Novak motors and speed controls, it exceeds expectations with its performance and unmatched affordability. The 540-sized motor is equipped with a sintered rotor for precise throttle response and resistance to high temperatures, and is sensored for low-speed driveability and consistent brakes. The Havoc Sport brushless/brush ESC contains one of the strongest BECs for sport applications and includes nine adjustable parameters to fine-tune brake and throttle response.

“The Finnish Open race was held at Tampere. The track was hard-packed clay with good traction as there has been no rain in the last three weeks. The track was holding up really well all day long. The layout is pretty awesome with many different kind of jumps, tight corners, and a long straight. It was sunny all day so it was perfect for racing for the approximately 60 drivers that attended. In two practice runs I tested two different sets of tires and different rear camber link positions on the shock tower. The car was working well, but I wanted it to be better. In first qualifying round I got TQ ahead of Joseph Quagraine by 0.4sec (it was super close) and Ari Heinonen finished third. I felt that the car was a little tricky to drive, but wasn’t sure if it was because of the new tires or setup, so I decided to run the second round with the same setup. We all made many mistakes in the second run but I was able to pull out TQ, and I was sure now that I needed to make some changes to make the car more stable as I couldn’t drive with that setup for the 45min final. So in the third run I made the front wheelbase shorter so the front wheels would get more weight, and I also changed the rear anti-roll bar from 2.6mm to 2.8mm to make the rear end run more flat and better over bumps. These changes worked really well and I made my best run of the day and got TQ by almost half a lap ahead of Ari.” Read More… [Source - teamxray.com]

“Round 4 of the Portuguese Nationals took place at the Ortigosa Track in Leiria on June 2nd. Forty-two drivers were presents with 10 of them racing XRAY. The track was in very good condition at the beginning, and the weather was very fine, too. Qualifying saw Miguel Matias dominate with Rodrigo Luis in 2nd and his teammate Fernando Almeida rounding out the top three. Team XRAY drivers Ricardo Monteiro and Guilherme Gonçalves were 4th and 5th after qualifying, and Spanish driver Cristian Sanchez was in 15th place. By the semi-finals, track conditions changed a little bit and driving mistakes put at risk the drivers’ tickets to the main final. With very cautious driving, XRAY drivers Guilherme Gonçalves, Ricardo Monteiro and Cristian Sanchez passed their semi-finals and got a place in the Final.” Read More… [Source - teamxray.com]
