DRIFT-SPEC BRUSHLESS MOTORS


DRIFTING MOTORS GLIDE TO THE FRONT

All three Drift-Spec Brushless Motors are compatible with Novak's SLYDR
Brushless Drift ESC (#1712)

With input from the top drifters of the world, Novak has developed the specially designed Drift-Spec Brushless Motors (#3466-3468). These 540-size sensored brushless motors include the Novak 13mm Neodymium Sintered rotor for improved initial throttle response and natural drag brake.

AVAILABLE MOTOR WINDS
Novak’s Drift-Spec Brushless Motors are available in three motor winds:

  • Drift-Spec – 6.5T (Kv=5,700; Watts=370) provides the most power to light up your tires and excels on large tracks (#3466).
  • Drift-Spec – 7.5T (Kv=5,200; Watts=340) is the best all-around-motor with a great balance between power and run time. It also works well on medium-sized tracks (#3467).
  • Drift-Spec – 8.5T (Kv=4,500; Watts=280) has the smoothest power response and longest possible run time. The 8.5T is also ideal to use on small tracks (#3468).

SENSORED DESIGN
Novak’s Drift-Spec Brushless Motors have sensor-based design. The ESC is always aware of the rotor position. That knowledge provides the motor with superior starting torque and continuous synchronization for smooth, controlled low-speed driveability and consistent brakes – a must for drifting! The Drift-Spec series of motors also features a shielded sensor cable and a completely rebuildable design.

The Drift-Spec motors can also be factory wired to the SLYDR Brushless Drift ESC (#1712) to create one of three SLYDR Brushless Drift Systems (#3066-3068).
