Stupid Brushed Novak Question

[morrisey0]

I either dreamt this, or am just totally off, or just can't get the Google machine to work for me right now.

When I was previously looking around at high voltage vintage ESCs (and ended up with a Zeta), I swear there were Novaks that went to 20v, or maybe 20 cells???? And I swear it was simply in the model number that told you, like a 410 was good for 4-10 cells, and this / these other models were like 420 for 4-20 cells. Can anyone get me back on the right path? I am looking into another dragster project, and found another Zeta that I like, but wouldn't mind comparing specs to a Novak .................... if it ever existed.

Or if you have any other vintage, brushed, min 14.4v volt input ESCs that you would suggest, I am all ears!

So you need a Novak 828 HV

Edit, frankentruck treed me

I think your thinking of the the Tekin 420 series
Although there was an 8-28HV Novak

I would have posted a picture of my 828 HV but I'm away from home right now.

You found a Drag Zeta? There's been a Pro Micro in a Drag Zeta box on eBay for a while.

That's almost catchy enough to use as an answering machine message.

Oh yeah, Novak 828HV, what a power house esc it was bitd. I used them in boats. Drilled the heatsinks and JB welded brass tubing in them so I could run the water cooling through them. I remember frying a lot of motors in boats, but those esc's were some beefy bulletproof stuff.

The 420 was Tekin.

Novak later made an esc for Traxxas. I think it was for 3S and twin motors.

Traxxas also had the 14.4v Novak EVX.

I had a line on a Drag Zeta, but am now being told it is gone.

For right now, I think I will pull my Zeta from my TF dragster, and replace it with a Tekin 411 / 420 / G/P-12 or something along those lines as the car is 11 cell. That car is static, so it just needs to function, but not be awesome. The future car I would like to actually drive, and it will be 12 cell (I think), so having the programmability of the Zeta will be nice.

That would be cool to see, but be careful though, they got the rocket thing pretty dialed in.........
