THE ESC DESIGNED FOR DRIFTERS AND RACERS
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The SLYDR Brushless Drift ESC is compatible with Novak`s Drift-Spec Brushless Motor -- 6.5T (#3466)
 
With input from the top drifters and racers of the world, Novak has developed the SLYDR Brushless Drift ESC (#1712). This SLYDR Drift ESC, which is based on Novak’s GTB, contains numerous brake adjustments and features to help fine tune brake response, as well as all superior throttle curve adjustments to further customize the already-smooth throttle response.
 
SLYDR DRIFT BRUSHLESS ESC
Though the SLYDR Brushless Drift ESC has one throttle profile, the versatile ESC is completely programmable and packed with nine customizable parameters. Novak’s Throttle Curve gives drivers the ability to experiment with three throttle responses – Linear, Expo-1 and Expo-2 – which range between a quick burst of power to a smoother, more controlled low-end power delivery. In addition, the SLYDR’s Brake Frequency adjustment contains seven degrees of adjustability from a smooth and controllable brake to a more abrupt and grabbier feel. The dozens of adjustments allow drivers to fine-tune their vehicle’s throttle braking for better control and advanced drifting and racing.
 
But the customization doesn’t end with braking. Novak has also built into the ESC Li-Po Cut-Off Circuitry that prevents the batteries from going below the critical safety voltage level and a Motor Rotation feature that allows the user to easily select direction of the motor.

This SLYDR ESC can be factory wired to Novak`s Drift-Spec Brushless Motor -- 6.5T (#3466) to create the SLYDR Brushless Drift System (#3066).
 
Please Note: The SLYDR Brushless ESC is not only for the Drift Crowd. It can be used just like the GTB ESC for nearly all applications. Due to the higher brake settings that are available in the SLYDR, we recommend following the SLYDR’s 5.5-turn motor limit to avoid damage. Beyond this requirement, the internals of the SLYDR are similar to the GTB in the brushless mode. Some drivers have found the new brake adjustment features found in the SLYDR to be very useful for fine tuning feel and response. This has been beneficial in applications where fine control and minor brake input changes are used, such as off-road and on-road racing.
