3.5 BALLISTIC RACING BRUSHLESS MOTOR

The Ballistic Brushless Motor series – which consists of six different motor turns: 3.5T - 9.5T (#3603 - #3609) – is the result of many years of developing and manufacturing sensored brushless motors, and includes many new features to prove it. This next-generation motor series contains a new, easy-to-adjust timing assembly that alters the RPM range, and includes heavy-duty solder tabs that are strong enough to endure repeated soldering and tough crashes. These sensored motors also sport a newly designed exterior with sleek, black end bells and a reconfigured rear end bell that fits more easily into racing vehicles. And like all Novak racing motors, these brushless motors are blisteringly fast, reaching speeds that will effortlessly satisfy any racer or basher.

BRUSHLESS MOTOR ADVANCEMENTS
But the innovations don’t end there. The Ballistic motors’ original design defines versatility by featuring interchangeable wound stator construction. By unscrewing the main screws, the motors’ solder tab and sensor assemblies can be easily removed to leave only the stator, which can be replaced with additional motor wind options. Moreover, the sensor assembly can be replaced if needed upon crash or unknown damage. The Ballistic motors also boast a removable shielded sensor harness. To account for different size vehicles, Novak’s removable sensor harness comes in three different lengths – 9”, 6” and 4” – allowing for multiple installation options. The motor is also equipped with a custom-silicone gasket seal to keep dirt and debris from damaging the motor’s sensor plug.

Each Ballistic motor is also equipped with a 12.3mm nickel-plated sintered Neodymium rotor for maximum motor acceleration, braking power and performance in high-temperature conditions, and Thermal Overload technology to ensure the motor is operating at a safe temperature. The motors also feature acompletely rebuildable design, allowing for the ability to upgrade or replace various motor parts.

SPEED CONTROL COMPATIBILITY
All Ballistic Racing motors are compatible with Novak’s Brushless Speed Controls, including the Kinetic 2S (#1740), the Havoc Pro SC (#1745) and the GTB 2 (#1709) and other racing brushless sensored speed controls. The Ballistic Brushless Motor 8.5T (#3608) and 9.5T (#3609) are also compatible with the Havoc 3S Brushless/Brush ESC (#1733). Combined, the Ballistic motors and Novak’s programmable speed controls create high-performance machines for world-class racing.

THE NOVAK STANDARD
Like all Novak brushless motors, the Ballistic Brushless Motors are designed, tested and built at the Novak facility in Irvine, Calif. Each motor stator is hand-wound for maximum copper fill, and each motor is individually tested for consistency. The motors are also tuned to the same factory timing, run under a simulated load, and visually inspected, packaged and weighed to ensure the best product is sent to customers.
