THE KINETIC 1S IS NOW SHIPPING!

The Kinetic 1S Racing Brushless ESC (#1741) is now shipping! The 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. Like the original Kinetic 2S, this speed control includes all of the most sought-after ESC features, such as Novak’s 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.
