Novak has paired the Pulse with Novak's premiere SCT motor, the Vented 4.5 550 Ballistic Brushless Motor. This race-proven system was designed for the extreme demands of 4x4 Short Course Racing, and has been used to power top-level racers to several major race wins.
NOVAK'S ALL NEW SUPER-TUNER™ INTERFACE
To deliver unmatched performance and usability in the high-end ESC category,
Novak engineers developed enhanced, on-board programming to ensure that
customizing and tuning the Pulse to your racing style has never been easier.
With Novak’s Super-Tuner™ interface, nothing extra is needed, and making
changes trackside is a snap! Gone are the days of special boxes, programmers,
or lugging expensive laptops to the dusty track. Novak’s Super-Tuner interface
features a modern menu system that is accessed with the ESC’s programming
button and 5 different-colored LEDs. Multiple parameters are adjustable
including Start & Final RPM. These values use a unique table system that
covers all usable RPM ranges. Dynamic Timing Advance™ can be adjusted in
1-degree increments, or in 10-degree steps. The tuning options are endless!
FIVE CUSTOMIZABLE PROFILES
The Novak-developed Super-Tuner also has 5 throttle profiles that can be tuned individually and saved independently. Never before has ESC customizing and tuning been this robust and so easy to make changes at the track. The Super-Tuner interface allows a driver to set up 5 profiles for different types of classes, or 5 similar profiles to quickly and easily make major changes to the ESC. Each setting can be set up for different conditions and can be changed faster than you can say “Where's my laptop?”. The Pulse comes pre-loaded with factory profiles suited for today’s most popular applications:
Profile 1: No timing, “blinky mode”, with classic default values that are suited for most conditions.
Profile 2: No timing, “blinky mode”, with higher minimum brake & drive values for higher-grip conditions.
Profile 3: Mild timing set-up similar to Profile #1 with timing turned ON and a wide default RPM range.
Profile 4: Medium timing profile with mild timing settings and a more aggressive RPM range.
Profile 5: No timing, “blinky mode”, just like Profile #1, but with Reverse turned ON. Great for practice or bashing!
*All Throttle Profiles have Smart-Stop LiPo Voltage Cut-Off Circuitry active by default for safe operation with LiPo battery packs.
WARP SPEED IS BACK - INTRODUCING XTRA-TIMING™!
For unmatched top speeds & incredible power, Novak engineers took electronic motor timing to a whole new level. Novak's Xtra-Timing™ is the all-new algorithm to control the second-level timing that is applied “on top of” the Dynamic Timing Advance when the exact conditions have been met. The Xtra-Timing interface looks
at your motor's RPM, how quickly the motor is accelerating, the throttle position, as well as a few other top secret factors to give your motor insane RPM increases. This feature is for experienced experts only!
TIMING TUNING OPTIONS
The Super-Tuner firmware in the Pulse ESC includes 6 specialized RPM tables for fine-tuning of the Dynamic Timing Advance. Tables include: 1S Racing; 2S Spec Racing; 2S Mod Racing (fine step range); 2S General/SCT Racing (coarse steps & wider range); Open/Speed Run; and a very specialized 10.5T Large Track RPM table. Each table features evenly-spaced RPM steps throughout the range of user-selectable start and final RPMs that are independently chosen to tell the ESC when to turn on the Dynamic Timing Advance.
EQUIPPED WITH NOVAK X-DRIVE™
Novak X-Drive™ will provide incredibly smooth throttle response while maintaining an extremely connected and controlled feel. This motor-firing technology has been taking the racing world by storm and is now included in the Pulse. No competition ESC is complete without X-Drive!
RACE-READY CONTROLLER
You race to win. So why install a controller that’s not up for the challenge? The Pulse uses rugged, highquality components to ensure your vehicle keeps running pack after pack.
12-Gauge Power Wire– The Pulse is factory-wired with 12G silicone battery and motor power wires that are easy to replace for factory-like rewire jobs. These wires don’t just have a 12 printed on them─ they are top-quality, Novak Super-Flex wires.
Extreme Duty BEC– The Pulse features a first for the racing world─ an ultra-duty 5 amp BEC to ensure your power hungry servos will get what they ask for...Power!
Full Coverage Heat Sink– Heat sink is cross-cut and makes direct contact with all 18, ultra-low RDS-on, dual-cool power MOSFETs for optimum heat dissipation.
Heavy-Duty, High-Power PCB– PCB is embedded with thick, pure-copper traces to ensure minimal losses and the best performance. No wimpy PCB for this ESC! The Pulse features 12 GA power wires, full coverage heat sink,
internal 5A BEC, and an included cooling fan to perform in all heavy
duty 2S racing applications
Designed to Last– A silicone-gasket between the case & PCB protects against dirt, debris, & moisture. The Pulse is built to take the abuse that racing dishes out.
ADDED PROTECTION AND ENHANCED MONITORING
Low-Voltage Protection– A low-voltage LiPo protection segment monitors the LiPo pack’s voltage thousands of
times per second and prevents the pack from ever falling below the critical safety voltage.
Thermal Protection– The ESC keeps tabs on its core operating temperature and will back down its power to
prevent the ESC from overheating.
On-Board Temperature Diagnostics– With a quick tap of the One-Touch button, multi-colored LEDs will indicate
how hot the ESC is for instant temperature information. No external device is needed.
Error Sensing– The ESC provides additional feedback via multi-colored LEDs, allowing for quicker trouble-shooting.
Motor Lock-Up Protection– If your drive train or motor becomes bound up or jammed, the ESC will detect this and
cut the power to prevent damage.
Hall Effect Sensor Test– This built-in test allows you to confirm that your motor’s sensors and sensor harness are in
good working order.
MOTOR COMPATIBILITY
The Pulse Racing Brushless ESC is compatible with all popular 540 and 550-size sensor-based brushless motors like Novak’s Ballistic 550, Ballistic Racing, Ballistic Spec, and Ballistic High-RPM series. All Novak Ballistic motors feature adjustable timing and interchangeable components for full customization, cleaning, and repairability.
