Novak Replacement Option for (original) HV ESC (P/N 3220)

From my understanding; It is possible to do a $65 trade for a non-defective unit?

HV-maxx PRO. higher voltage transistors? do I hear 5/6S capability?

The replacement option program offers the newly programmable HV esc in exchange for original HV escs returned for service---$65.00 is the price of the rmf controller.

The new HV Pro controller (#3221), shipping out separately and with the newly-released systems, is officially rated for 4s. However, the internal lipo circuit will allow it to be used with 5s lipos, but not 6s. I think that if 6s lipos are hooked up, the esc will not program.

We are still in the prototype stage for the 6s controller---Bob ran the protos for his testing of the new conversion kits.

This is interesting, 5s lipo with the lower kv HV motor (7.5?) sounds like a good system. The lack of internal lvc and programability was keeping me from buying a Novak hv esc. Guess I will have to pick up one.

Great news. If you can get a 6s sensored system out before I buy more MMM and Neu's I will definetly buy one. I really like Novak motors in my 10th scale stuff.

Yesterday was the first day that we began shipping the new 4.5 and 6.5 HV Pro systems out to our distributors in the all-new HV Pro packaging.

The new 5.5 and 7.5 HV Pro systems and the stand alone HV Pro controllers will be shipped starting next week. All these new HV Pro products that started shipping yesterday feature the newly re-designed HV Pro speed control with the built-in Smart Stop circuitry, higher-rated mosfets and fully upgraded programmability:

Three profiles, nine adjustable programming parameters:

Minimum Brake (10 settings from 0-30%)
Drag Brake (10 settings from 0-30%)
Dead Band (5 settings from 2-6%)
Minimum Drive (5 settings from 1-12%)
Throttle Curve (Linear & Expo)
Brake Frequency (7 settings from 1-8 kHz)
Brake Disable,
Motor Rotation
Auto-detect Li-Po Cut-Off

All of the new system features can be seen here, with links to the individual pages for the HV Pro motors and the HV Pro speed controls:

THE HV SYSTEMS REINVENTED AND BETTER THAN EVER

All original HV controllers returned for replacement will be exchanged for a remanufactured (orig) HV controller upgraded with most of the new programming options listed above.

The rmf version will still require the external Smart Stop lipo module (a new SS module is not included with the rmf esc for the price of $65.00.) But the rmf controllers will have our new 2s-4s Transcap Module installed.

The soon to-be-shipped HV pro controller (#3221) is a different controller with new PCBs. At this time, we are not offering it (as an upgrade) as part of our replacement options program. We generally add new items to the program 3-4 months after we begin shipping.
