This is a 1/8th scale buggy brushless conversion kit from Novak. This
conversion kit is designed to fit the XRAY XB8 TQ, and XB8 EC 1/8th scale
buggies.
CLEAN UP AND GO BRUSHLESS
Plan
an intervention with your 1/8-scale nitro vehicle, and admit it into
electric rehab. Novak has the ideal program to convert your 1/8-scale
nitro off-road vehicle into an efficient brushless electric machine by
offering ten, inclusive Brushless Conversion Kits (#5010 - #5019). With
some basic assembly, a 1/8-scale nitro car can be converted into a
leaner, cleaner, less noisy brushless car with faster acceleration and
speeds comparable to nitro. The Novak Brushless Conversion Kits were
designed specifically for Novak’s 550-size, HV-Series brushless motors
and include all of the necessary conversion components. So clean up,
and reinvent your car as brushless!
WHY CONVERT YOUR NITRO TO BRUSHLESS?
1/8-scale
buggies are built strong, handle well and are fun to race. With the
increased popularity of brushless, R/C enthusiasts can experience a new
way to drive and race while enjoying the many benefits of brushless.
- Better
Performance. Novak sensored-brushless motors provide extraordinary
throttle response and controllability, and better acceleration and
low-end feel. This translates to better control on bumpy courses and
makes clearing jumps easier. Brushless motors also operate consistently
in varying weather conditions, so you don’t have to be a tuning expert.
- Lower
Center of Gravity. Electric conversion provides a lower center of
gravity for more agile and nimble handling. The weight of a converted
vehicle is comparable to a nitro setup.
- Less
Maintenance. Brushless systems are virtually maintenance-free. No
engines to tune or rebuild and no spilled nitro fuel to clean up, so
more time can be spent racing or bashing.
- Cleaner Environment. Brushless motors are far cleaner to run than nitro-powered vehicles and are healthier for indoor racing.
- Quieter.
Brushless-powered cars are quieter than nitro-powered vehicles and will
allow 1/8-scale buggies to run where noise restrictions are imposed.
- Plug and Play. With a brushless-powered system, just turn on the switch and go. No engines to start, tune or warm up.
INCLUDED ITEMS
Novak
Brushless Conversion Kits contain all of the necessary parts to
completely convert a 1/8-scale nitro off-road vehicle into an
energy-efficient brushless buggy.
- Motor heat
sink (a) and buggy-specific heat sink adaptor plate (b), specifically
designed for Novak’s 550-size, HV-Series of brushless motors. Motor
assembly installs directly to chassis with a four-bolt mounting system
for stability, optimal heat sinking and lower center of gravity.
- Two battery boxes (c) and adjustable straps (d) for holding an assortment of Li-Po or Ni-MH batteries
- Motor cooling fan (e) that bolts directly to motor heat sink
- Y-Harness (f) to connect the motor and ESC fans into the HV Brushless ESC
- Antenna mount
- Hardware kit
- Complete instructions
Brushless
vehicles are a popular segment in the racing industry, so don’t get
left behind in the nitro fumes, and join the brushless revolution!
1/8-BRUSHLESS CONVERSION KIT COMPATIBILITY
To
mesh with its Brushless Motor Conversion Kits, Novak is offering Mod 1
Steel Pinion Gears. These heavy-duty gears are required when converting
1/8-scale Nitro off-road vehicles for brushless electric use and fit
seamlessly with Mod 1 spur gears found on 1/8-scale Nitro vehicles.
Designed to maximize concentricity, these hardened gears can be used in
any application and with any motor that has a 5mm output shaft,
including Novak’s HV High-Voltage Brushless Motors that have been
updated with a 5mm shaft. Also available is the HV Brushless Motor 5mm
Upgrade Kit (#5924) to convert older HV motors with a 1/8" shaft.
Note: Battery Sold Separately
