| Novak's SS Series Turns Pro. Based on Novak�s Velociti-Series Racing brushless motors, Novak is pleased to announce its new SS Pro-Series racing brushless motors. The SS Pro-Series is available in three motor winds:
SS13.5 Pro Stock Brushless Motor is 13.5 turns, and similar to a 27-turn racing stock brush motor. This popular stock brushless motor has received several new upgrades including a Novak sintered rotor, and will now be known as the SS13.5 Pro Stock Brushless Motor.
SS13.5 UPGRADES & STANDARD SS PRO MOTOR FEATURES
The SS13.5 received several new upgrades for improved performance. The first upgrade to the SS13.5, and a standard feature of the SS Pro Series, is the Novak ROAR-approved, Nickel-plated Sintered Neodymium rotor. The rotor is the same high-performance rotor that the Velociti 3.5R motor currently features. The rotor is ideal for use with any and all applications and provides many benefits, including:
Significantly increased magnetic strength for improved throttle feel
Improved, stronger motor braking power
Improved performance in higher temperature conditions
Improved motor acceleration and power
Higher efficiency
Lower current draw
Nickel-plated rotor for a long lasting, smooth, clean finish
ROAR approved
The second upgrade to the SS13.5, and a standard feature of the SS Pro Series, is the set of ribbed aluminum end bells. The lightweight aluminum end bells not only reduces the overall weight of the motor, but the ribbed design also acts as a heat sink by efficiently removing excessive heat from the motor.
The last upgrade to the SS13.5 is the orange timing ring located on the rear end bell. The color-coded, non-removable, non-replaceable timing ring will be of great assistance to race directors and officials in ensuring the correct motor is used during racing. The timing ring is a visibly easy way to check that racers� are compliant with race rules.
ADDITIONAL SS PRO MOTOR FEATURES
The SS Pro brushless motors will be equipped with all of the great standard features found on all Novak motors, including: a convenient Solder Tab System for easy wire replacement; Sensor-Based Technology for excellent starting torque, low-speed drivability, and smooth acceleration; the same Oversized Front Bearing used in Novak�s Velociti-series motors that is more rugged, extra durable, and helps extend motor life; and Thermal Overload Protection (when used with a Novak brushless ESC) that allows pack after pack to be run without fear of damaging the motor, battery, or speed control.
Of its many features, its sensor-based design allows for most of the motor's important benefits, including the following:
No Cogging--Thanks to constantly knowing the rotor position, the motor provides instantaneous throttle response & smooth transitions from neutral to drive. The rotor position knowledge is attained due to the ESC & motor being continuously synchronized via the motor harness.
Smooth & Controlled Low Speed Driveability--Always knowing the rotor angle is key to smooth acceleration without delivering abrupt and uncontrolled bursts of power.
Strong/Consistent Brakes & Starting Torque--Rotor position knowledge results in consistent starts & stops, without hesitation or inconsistent lag times before acceleration or braking--this translates to consistant lap times.
Thermal Protection--Position & temperature sensors inside motor provide unparalleled thermal protection, letting you to run pack after pack without worrying about overheating the motor, ESC, or magnets.
Each motor is factory hand-wound and is put through rigorous testing, including a final dyno test to ensure that each motor meets Novak�s rigid specifications.
ESC COMPATIBILITY
The SS8.5 Pro, SS10.5 Pro, and SS13.5 Pro Stock Brushless Motors are compatible with all Novak brushless ESCs, including:
#1705 Super Sport Plus ESC
#1710 GTB Programmable Brushless/Brush ESC
#1714 GTB 4-Cell Programmable Brushless/Brush ESC
#3006 original Super Sport ESC that�s included in the Super Sport Stock Brushless System (10.5)
GTB Brush/Brushless ESC
GTB 4-Cell Brush/Brushless ESC
PRO-SERIES BRUSHLESS SYSTEMS
Each SS Pro Series is available in a combo system factory-wired with a GTB Programmable Racing Brushless/Brush ESC (#1710). Novak brushless systems include everything to be race-ready, out of the box, so there is nothing extra to buy or install.
RECOMMENDATIONS
To find out which motor or motor system is best suited for you, Novak has the following recommendations:
4-6 CELL BRUSHLESS SYSTEMS:
GTB/SS8.5 Pro Brushless System�this system is the perfect brushless system for use with sport battery packs and entry-level equipment. It is also ideal for off-road racing and general applications. (#3008)
GTB/SS10.5 Pro Brushless System�this system is ideal for use in �SS4300 class� races with performance similar to 19-turn brush motor. (#3010)
GTB/SS13.5 Pro Brushless System�this system is ideal for use in Stock class races with performance similar to a 27-turn stock brush motor. Its lower speeds provide better vehicle control for newer drivers, and longer run-times for those wanting to get valuable �practice� time on the track. (#3013)
4 CELL BRUSHLESS SYSTEMS:
GTB 4-Cell/SS10.5 Pro Brushless System�this system is ideal for use in the 4-cell Brushless Racing League (BRL) �Pro 4300 class� races. (#3040)
GTB 4-Cell/SS13.5 Pro Brushless System�this system is ideal for use in the 4-cell Brushless Racing League (BRL) �13.5 class� races. (#3043)
