Plan an intervention with your 1/8-scale nitro vehicle, and admit it into electric rehab. Novak has the ideal program to convert your 1/8-scale nitro off-road vehicle into an efficient brushless electric machine by offering ten, inclusive Brushless Conversion Kits (#5010 - #5019). With some basic assembly, a 1/8-scale nitro car can be converted into a leaner, cleaner, less noisy brushless car with faster acceleration and speeds comparable to nitro.
The Novak Brushless Conversion Kits were designed specifically for Novak’s 550-size, HV-Series brushless motors and include all of the necessary conversion components. So clean up, and reinvent your car as brushless!

WHY CONVERT YOUR NITRO TO BRUSHLESS?

1/8-scale buggies are built strong, handle well and are fun to race. With the increased popularity of brushless, R/C enthusiasts can experience a new way to drive and race while enjoying the many benefits of brushless.

* Better Performance
* Novak sensored-brushless motors provide extraordinary throttle response and controllability, and better acceleration and low-end feel. This translates to better control on bumpy courses and makes clearing jumps easier
* Brushless motors also operate consistently in varying weather conditions, so you don’t have to be a tuning expert
* Lower Center of Gravity. Electric conversion provides a lower center of gravity for more agile and nimble handling
* The weight of a converted vehicle is comparable to a nitro setup
* Less Maintenance. Brushless systems are virtually maintenance-free.
* No engines to tune or rebuild and no spilled nitro fuel to clean up, so more time can be spent racing or bashing
* Cleaner Environment. Brushless motors are far cleaner to run than nitro-powered vehicles and are healthier for indoor racing
* Quieter. Brushless-powered cars are quieter than nitro-powered vehicles and will allow 1/8-scale buggies to run where noise restrictions are imposed
* Plug and Play. With a brushless-powered system, just turn on the switch and go. No engines to start, tune or warm up.

1/8-BRUSHLESS CONVERSION KIT COMPATIBILITY

To upgrade your HV with a thicker, more rugged output shaft, click here for more information on Novak's Brushless Motor 5mm Upgrade Kit.
To mesh with its Brushless Motor Conversion Kits, Novak is offering Mod 1 Steel Pinion Gears. These heavy-duty gears are required when converting 1/8-scale Nitro off-road vehicles for brushless electric use and fit seamlessly with Mod 1 spur gears found on 1/8-scale Nitro vehicles.

Designed to maximize concentricity, these hardened gears can be used in any application and with any motor that has a 5mm output shaft, including Novak’s HV High-Voltage Brushless Motors that have been updated with a 5mm shaft.

Also available is the HV Brushless Motor 5mm Upgrade Kit (#5924) to covnert older HV motors with a 1/8" shaft.
