Spread Spectrum
GTB ESC (#1710) is compatible with all standard 27/40/75 AM/FM and 2.4Ghz radio systems.

 
To run this system on 1-cell Li-Po, check out Novak's Smart Boost 1-Cell Li-Po Step-Up Module.


This Racing ESC is for Brush or Brushless Motors!

GTB RACING ESC
It's for racing. It's programmable. It can be used with either brushless or brushed motors. It's Novak's GTB ESC, the ultimate speed control for brushless and brushled motor performance! Like all of Novak's speed controls, the GTB is packed full of features. This versatile ESC has no brushed motor limit and is compatible with all Novak 540-size sensored brushless motors.

Programming the GTB is easy thanks to its user-friendly interface and 4 different color status LEDs. The brushless mode has 4 adjustable parameters, including Minimum Brake, Drag Brake, Deadband, and Minimum Drive. The brushed mode is fully programmable with all of the adjustments of the brushless mode, plus adjustable Drive Frequency.

The GTB uses exclusive lightweight MOSFET technology. These MOSFETs have the lowest ‘RDS On’ value, which allows the speed control to have the highest power density. The GTB uses more than twice the number of MOSFETs as the GTX, Novak’s competition ESC, making it the ultimate speed control for brushed and brushless motor performance.


GTB Racing Brushless System
Like the GTX, the GTB includes all of the extra performance-enhancing components required for world-class racing, including a factory-installed heat-sink and cooling fan. Other convenient features include One-Touch Set-Up, direct-solder wiring tabs, and a replaceable input and switch harness. It’s also equipped with Thermal Overload Protection and a water-resistant case. The GTB can be purchased individually (#1710) or as a brushless system:

In addition, the GTB Brushless/Brush ESC includes Built-in Li-Po Cut-Off Circuitry, which monitors the vehicle’s Lithium Polymer battery pack’s voltage, and prevents the batteries from going below the critical safety voltage level (6.25 volts).
