|  The Rooster is back!!
Novak is now starting production of the Rooster. Better, stronger, faster then ever. With a new 6.0/1.5 amp BEC. The possible precurser to the new Super Rooster acourding to the Novak rep. This may not be new news? But it is to me. Specs: Drive profiles:4 FWD/BRK/REV (default) FWD/BRK FWD/BRK/REV w/Li-po cut off FWD/BRK w/Li-po cut off Input voltage 4-7 cell Ni-cad/Ni-MH cells 1.2v/cell or 2 Li-poly cells On-resistance 0.0014 ohms(forward) Footprint 1.54" x 1.18" (39x30 mm) Weight 2.66 oz (75.5 g) w/wires 1.57 oz (44.5 g) w/o wires Rated current: 400 amps (forward) Braking current: 200 amps Power wires: 14 guage BEC 6.0 volt/1.5 amp Motor limit: 12t brushed (at 6 cells Ni-MH) Discrete steps 256 forward, 256 reverse Battery plug: Tamiya Motor plug: Bullet connectors Status LED's: 2 Voltage cut-off: 6.25 volts (Li-poly profiles) |

His source for all of that info is from the spec sheet he got from the NOVAK rep at the I-hobby show. I saw it with my own two eyes  |

| I thought you were gonna say the Super Rooster is comming back... Damn... But I see 6v/1.5a vs 6v/3a SR, and 4-7cells vs 6-10cells SR. I do like to see that this new one includes voltage cut-off for LiPos. That's definately a nice feature. Now, what about reverse delay? |

Last time I talked to Charlie they were going to put a 3A BEC circuit in it. 3A BEC would help it compete with the TR2. Grrrr... |

While I've pretty much switched over to brushless I still think brushed motors will surely always have a place in R/C. | |

the BEC needs to be higher than 3A. The TR2 has 5A at 6V.

3A is what the SR had and it performed well...and was dead-nuts reliable with two 1/4 scale servos (which tend to demand a good bit of current).

I thought the 5A maybe better for those wanting to run digital servos.

That's good news! It would be great news if the SR would follow! If that happens, I see alot of cheap TR2s on eBay!  |

Good to see it coming back. I have to agree - a beefier BEC would be the icing on the cake, though. They've got thier brushless crawler setup, I bet they'd sell a lot of units if they released a brushed ESC designed specifically for crawlers as well. |

...or a dual purpose brushed/brushless crawler ESC based off the GTB. Hey, I can wish, right? |

| I love Novak products, and I highlighted a few specs that caught my eye no one has mentioned yet 2x GOOD and 1x NOT SO GOOD (maybe). I am no electronics wizard, so correct me if I am wrong  Specs: Drive profiles:4 FWD/BRK/REV (default) FWD/BRK FWD/BRK/REV w/Li-po cut off FWD/BRK w/Li-po cut off Don't these profiles indicate double pump reverse only??  Input voltage 4-7 cell Ni-cad/Ni-MH cells 1.2v/cell or 2 Li-poly cells On-resistance 0.0014 ohms(forward) Footprint 1.54" x 1.18" (39x30 mm) smaller than original 1.63 x 2.02 x 1.22 Weight 2.66 oz (75.5 g) w/wires 1.57 oz (44.5 g) w/o wires Rated current: 400 amps (forward) Braking current: 200 amps Power wires: 14 guage BEC 6.0 volt/1.5 amp Motor limit: 12t brushed (at 6 cells Ni-MH) Discrete steps 256 forward, 256 reverse Discrete steps 64: 32 Forward, 32 Reverse/ I assume this will mean a much smoother throttle response Battery plug: Tamiya Motor plug: Bullet connectors Status LED's: 2 Voltage cut-off: 6.25 volts (Li-poly profiles) Last edited by Fishmaxx; 10-25-2006 at 12:10 PM. |
