The Kinetic 1S Racing Brushless ESC is optimized for 1S Li-Po racing: It
sports a low-profile heat sink for easy installation in vehicles with
space constraints and is also wired for use with a 2S Li-Po receiver
battery pack. Not only are these 2S receiver packs lightweight and easy
to mount, but they also ensure the best possible radio performance – a
great benefit to using the specialized Kinetic 1S. Like the Kinetic 2S,
this speed control includes all of the most sought-after ESC features,
such as NovakΆs redesigned Dynamic Timing Advance™, which is now
unbelievably smooth throughout all of the timing levels; the advanced
NovaBrakes™ system, which provides instantaneous braking under any
timing condition; and a highly developed Thermal Overload Protection
feature that prevents thermal overload without taking drivers out of the
race.
The Kinetic 1SΆs Dynamic Timing Advance is one of the most sophisticated
timing systems available. In fact, it provides a smooth application of
timing across the full timing spectrum of more than 50 degrees. In
addition to standard timing advance, the Kinetic 1S offers a boost
setting to provide even higher top speeds. In effect, the Kinetic 1SΆs
speed ascends gracefully and controllably throughout all of the timing
levels plus boost. This electronic motor-timing feature also has eight
on-board timing settings — with further adjustability via the NovaLink™
—and increases the motor RPM dynamically throughout the throttle band.
The increased RPM, in turn, results in higher speeds and improved speed
control performance. Moreover, Novak added a timing indicator LED, which
will illuminate white whenever timing is activated. This feature is
approved for ROAR Sportsman Class Racing, and will help aid club racing
events that run timing and non-timing events.
Moreover, the Kinetic 1S includes a precision, digital current limiting
feature, known as Electronic Power Control™. By adjusting the current
limiter, drivers can fine tune their vehicleΆs power delivery and
response, creating a more consistent throttle. The Electronic Power
Control also decreases system temperatures, prevents wheel spin and
mutes over-aggressive throttle use.
