 This is the Novak M2 Dig ESC & Dual Terra Claw Brushed Crawler Combo. Picture the functionality and utility of two Novak Goat Crawler Speed Controls in brushed mode and Novak’s Dig Unit; now, envision it in one highly programmable, inexpensive speed control and you get the revolutionary M2 Dig 3S ESC / Dual Terra Claw Brushed Motor Combo! This first-of-its-kind, dual-motor compatible speed control – the M2 Dig 3S Dual Brush ESC (NOV1846) has been combined with two 55 Turn Terra Claw Crawling Brush Motors (NOV3556). This controller combines 6 adjustable parameters with its revolutionary performance including a separated drag brake and dig function.
With only the addition of two brushed crawler motors, the M2 Dig controls both motors and performs dig maneuvers. In addition to the standard Dig Mode, the M2 features a Proportional Dig Mode which allows you to dial-in partial Dig Power on the fly for even finer control and precise maneuverability through tricky terrain. It also features an exceptional control on steep inclines and descents. Plus, the built-in electronic Dig Power is independently adjustable from the Hill/Drag Braking. Plus, this truly unique speed control supports both 2S and 3S LiPo!
Because of its unique features, the M2 Dig 3S is matchless when used in Motor-On-Axle vehicles, exceeding the performance of traditional two-system setups. The M2 ESC is also compatible with other dual-MOA vehicles, such as EnRoute’s Berg, RC4WD's 1/10 Bully Competition Rock Crawler, and Clod Buster-based MOA vehicles.
SPECIALIZED DIG
The compact M2 Dig ESC is easy to install and operate. There are three fully programmable throttle profiles: Dig Mode, Proportional Dig Mode and Single Output Mode.
- Proportional Dig Mode: This completely original mode uses a transmitter's third channel that is proportional (button or dial), allowing drivers to vary the amount of Dig Power being applied to the motor. This innovative feature provides seemingly endless fine tuning of the Dig for the ultimate vehicle control.
- Dig Mode: This is the default setting, and uses Dig Power (independent of Drag Brake) to lock one motor at a time. This mode requires a proportional switch or a simple three-position switch to operate.
- Single Output Mode: This is for applications with single motors or operation without a 3-channel transmitter. In this mode all four motor power wires can be soldered to one brush motor for higher performance, or connect two motors and control them both at the same time.
In addition to crawling applications, the M2 Dig 3S ESC is ideal for applications that require two motors, such as robots, boats, tanks and submarines. The powerful speed control also comes equipped with instant reverse via Novak’s Zero Reverse Delay, which provides immediate power delivery in both forward and reverse directions.
NO MODIFICATIONS NECESSARY
Like Novak’s Electronic Dig Unit (NOV5450), the M2 Dig 3S ESC does not require any vehicle modifications to install or operate. Simply plug it into any three-channel surface receiver, and you’re ready to crawl! This ESC is not only easy to install into a vehicle, but it possesses countless features on its own! Compared with a Dual ESC setup, the M2 allows racers to use top of the line crawling technology with just one speed control.
The M2 Dig 3S ESC is easily programmed into most three-channel transmitters, such as the Spektrum DX3R DSM2 3CH Surface Radio, Airtronics' M8 and M11 R/C Radios, as well as the Traxxas TQ-3 Transmitter*
MAINTENANCE-FREE MOTOR
Novak’s affordable Terra Claw Crawling Brushed Motor provides precise movement control, and exceptional torque and long-run times due to the motor’s high-turn count. Additionally, the Terra Claw is extremely durable, ensuring many smooth and maintenance-free crawling seasons. The M2 Dig is also compatible with Novak’s Rock Star Expert Crawling Brush Motors, which are available in 35T, 45T and 55T motor winds (NOV3537-NOV3557).
*NOTE: As of October 1, 2011, the M2 Dig 3S ESC is no longer compatible with the NovaLink PC Programmable interface.
