Home > Radio Control > RC Rock Crawlers
RC Rock Crawler vehicles require precise movement control at very slow speeds. Therefore, it makes sense to use equipment specifically designed for this purpose. One of the few R/C manufacturers who produces electronic products specifically designed for crawling, Novak Electronics, offers the new sensor-based Crawler Brushless Motor and System equipped with features that enable crawlers to climb over, maneuver through, and conquer the most challenging environments.
The Novak Crawler Line - Brushless and Brushed Applications
Whether you run brushless or brush, Team Novak has it covered. The Goat Crawler Brushless System (Novak 3019) includes the Goat Crawler Brushless/Brush ESC (Novak 3219) and the Crawler Sintered Brushless Motor (Novak 3419). For brush motor users, Novak is pleased to offer the Rooster Crawler Edition ESC (Novak 1841). The Goat features built-in brushless motor rotation software and four fully programmable throttle profiles. The Rooste Crawler Edition features two throttle profiles. All profiles feature Zero Reverse Delay and the high-powered Hill Brakes for excellent control. Both ESC's have the following features in common:
- Compatible with popular crawler vehicles, including the Axial AX10 Scorpion
- Build-In Li-Poly Cut-Off Protection which prevents Li-Po battery damage
- Heavy-Duty 6V - 5A BEC
- Built-in Power Output for optional 6V Accessory Fan or other detail items such as lights
- Gold-Plated PCB Direct-Solder Wiring Tabs for flexible soldering options
- Factory installed power capacitor
- User replaceable input harness
- Water resistant case
- Thermal Overload Protection
- Novak One-Touch Set-Up
- Novak Radio-Priority Circuitry
- Novak Polar Drive Circuitry
