HEAVY-DUTY CONTROLLER
Your vehicle isn't wimpy, so why put a wimpy controller in it? The Activ8 uses high quality and rugged components to ensure your vehicle keeps running pack after pack. Full-Coverage Heat Sink - For proper heat dissipation, the Activ8 takes full advantage of its robust size and features a full-size, cross-cut heat sink that has direct contact with all of the power MOSFETs. Whether you are ripping through the high desert or tearing off laps at your local arena, the heat sink is the first line of defense against heat build-up. A large cooling fan and fan guard are also included.
Heavy Duty High-Power PCB - The Activ8 uses an extremely heavy-duty and thick PC board that is embedded with massive, pure copper traces to ensure your ESC performs at its best.
Huge Power Wires - The Activ8 comes factory-installed with 12 gauge silicone battery and motor power wires that are easy to replace for factory-like, re-wire jobs. These power wires don't just have a 12 printed on them- they are top-quality, Novak Super-Flex wires.
High-Powered Switching BEC - To cope with the demands of heavy-duty servos and the rigors of extended practice sessions with heavy vehicles, the Activ8 features Novak's new high-powered switching BEC, which utilizes rugged components, for a clean and consistent 6 volts output.
EQUIPPED WITH NOVAK X-DRIVE
Novak X-Drive will provide incredibly smooth throttle response while maintaining an extremely connected and controlled feel. This motor-firing technology has been taking the racing world by storm and is now available for the larger scale, higher voltage applications. No competition ESC is complete without X-Drive!
COMPLETE ON-BOARD PROGRAMMING
To deliver unmatched performance and usability in the high-end, high-voltage ESC category, Novak engineers developed enhanced, on-board programming to ensure that customizing and tuning the Activ8 to your liking has never been easier. Gone are the days of special boxes, programmers, or lugging your expensive laptop to the dusty track. Nothing extra is needed, and making changes track-side is a snap!
