Overview

Novak GT7 Multi-Profile Electronic Speed Control

e top line GT7 joins the ranks of Novak’s small-size speed controls. Measuring 34.5mm x 28.3mm x 16.8mm, the GT7 is 30% smaller and lighter than Novak’s previous competition unit, the Cyclone.

As its name may imply, the GT7 includes 7 factory-programmed throttle programs. Programmable by design, the GT7 can also be customized specifically to match the driver’s preferences through Novak’s convenient new On-Board Programming, which allows the user to select one of seven throttle programs, as well as customize the GT7 without an external device. Like programs 1-6, the GT7’s 7th program comes factory-set. It is this 7th program, however, that users may customize, and then store their newly created program in place of the original 7th program.

Drivers are empowered to create a program specifically for their racing purposes by having the ability to adjust the following parameters: 1 of 5 Standard Brake or 5 Drag Brake profiles, 7 Minimum Brake values, and 1 of 5 Drive Profiles (which encompasses Drive Frequency and Minimum Drive).

Other features include multi-positionable, case mountable, power switch and power capacitor mounting bracket. Also new are Direct Solder Wiring Tabs for lower on-resistance and easier use.

A continuous signal-checking circuitry confirms whether or not the ESC is receiving a signal from the receiver, while a Transmitter Check Mode checks whether the transmitter has enough “throw” in the forward and brake directions.
