Novak HV6.5 brushless motor



Latest from www.teamnovak.com

A NEW GENERATION HV BRUSHLESS MOTOR

Novak is pleased to introduce a new-generation high-voltage brushless motor: the HV6.5 (#3426). Based on the industry-standard HV4400 brushless motor, the HV6.5 High-Voltage Brushless Motor features two major performance upgrades. The most significant upgrade is the newly engineered nickel-plated rotor, which is the core of the brushless motor. This new rotor improves motor acceleration, speed and brakes, is more durable, and is more resilient to heat. The second upgrade is the lightweight, aluminum ribbed end bells, which provide additional cooling by acting as a heat sink, efficiently removing excessive heat from the motor. The HV6.5 High-Voltage Brushless Motor will be offered individually (#3426), and in the popular HV High-Voltage Brushless System 6.5 (#3020).

HV6.5 HIGH-VOLTAGE BRUSHLESS MOTOR
Using sensor-based technology, the HV6.5 High-Voltage Motor provides awesome starting torque, low-speed driveability, and low cogging for smooth acceleration and smooth coasting. Also, along with the new nickel-plated rotor and aluminum ribbed end bells, the HV6.5 features yet another upgrade: an improved solder tab system. This is the same solder tab system that is used in Novak’s Velociti-series motors, which has received rave reviews. The new lower-resistant connectors allow for even more flexible soldering options, and are even more efficient and easy to use than the previous solder tabs — all while providing the lowest possible voltage drop, as well as easy and convenient power wire replacement.

KEEPING THE STATUS QUO
Some things are best left the way they are. This holds true for certain features of the HV6.5. One HV6.5 Brushless Motor still replaces the two brushed motors that are currently required to run the Traxxas® E-Maxx*. The beauty of using brushless technology is that it fuses power and efficiency to create one dynamic motor, which is a definite advantage when it comes to saving space on a chassis, or laboriously maintaining multiple motors. This efficient motor packs a powerful punch, providing users with ample power and torque. The HV6.5 will also work for most applications requiring an over-abundance of power at a higher input voltage such as the Kyosho® Twin Force* or the Tamiya® TXT* Trucks.

HV HIGH-VOLTAGE BRUSHLESS SYSTEM 6.5
Geared for high-voltage applications such as the Traxxas® E-Maxx*, the HV High-Voltage system includes the new-generation HV6.5 High-Voltage Brushless Motor, and one speed control that work seamlessly together to provide the ideal system for high-voltage applications. This dynamic system allows significantly higher speeds and longer run-times than traditional dual brushed motor systems with virtually no maintenance! When driving high-voltage applications such as a Traxxas® E-Maxx*, Kyosho® Twin Force*, or Tamiya’s® TXT* Trucks, you can expect a significant speed gain and still maintain, if not improve, the runtime over stock motors.

BRUSHLESS SYSTEM EXTRAS
For those who purchase an HV Brushless System, Novak has slipped in a few convenient extras. A Power-Boost ESC Fan and mounting bracket (#5646) is included for those wanting extra cooling for their ESC. Likewise, the HV6.5 motor comes with a factory-installed heat sink (#5412) for additional cooling of the motor. Another great amenity that is included is a dust cover, which covers the motor opening that is left exposed (since 1 HV6.5 motor efficiently replaces 2 brushed motors).
Please see below for part numbers, pricing, and availability. HV6.5 High-Voltage Brushless Motor features and specifications are on next page. Refer to www.teamnovak.com for further information on the updated #3020 HV High-Voltage Brushless System 6.5 and the new accessory items.

HV6.5 High-Voltage Brushless Motor (550 size) #3426 $199.00
HV High-Voltage Brushless System 6.5 #3020 $515.00
HV Nickel-Plated Rotor (550) #5912 $39.00
HV Ribbed End Bell & Bearing Kit #5913 $22.95
HV Brushless Motor Heat Sink #5412 $14.95

Man these prices better be suggested retail or noone is going to buy one! Bring the motor down to $100 and the system for $300.

I think it's still going for about 270ish on tower. The rotor is 35 on tower though. Of course, these prices could drop a tad. I just want the rotor...

I just read it only puts out 375 watts at 14.4v!?! Isn't that kind of low? My lehner basic motor can do that on 7.4v easily, and my Lehner "xl" can tripple that.

Yeah, until Novak puts out a HV system that rivals the power of Lehner and Feigao, I'm not interested.

Yay, more brushless stuff! Not that I have a vehicle big enough to use this...

I'm sure this motor will be loads of fun in a big truck, even if it won't make it go 50 mph. Perhaps some of you hardcore brushless guys have forgotten that it doesn't take 900 watts to make an Emaxx go pretty fast.

I agree, though, that it would still be cool if Novak made a super powerful motor.

According to their website, the performance is the same as the original motor. What is benefit of the new motor?

Got a response from Charlie at Novak:

The HV motor has an improved Rotor. The problem with KV and KT numbers and specs is they are Not measure ments. SO they don’t always account for all the design aspects of the motor. We’re hoping to start offering “Measured” KV and KT for our motors to clarify these situations.

The New HV Rotor is a significant improvement is both low end power, and braking, as well as it’s resilience to heating and how it deals with getting hot.
