The sport of Rock Crawling has become a major part of the R/C world, and Team
Novak is proud to introduce their newest and smallest brushless rock crawling ESC to the crawler line up, the
Timbuk2 Crawler Brushless ESC – 2S (#1832). The Timbuk2 is designed to work with Novak's Ballistic and
older-style Super Sport Rock Crawling Brushless Motors. Basic operation of the ESC remains similar to its
predecessors the Goat 2S and Goat 3S, but Novak has taken the advice of rock crawlers and completely
updated the braking adjustability and added a Rock-Boost feature to the Timbuk2. New brake adjustments means even more
control and response from your crawler. Novak's Rock-Boost feature applies electronic motor timing allowing for faster speeds at full throttle.
TAKING THE MYSTERY OUT OF ADJUSTABILITY
A feature that is central to the Timbuk2 is the complete on-board programming. No extra devices, plugs or
cards are needed to maximize the features of this ESC. The Timbuk2's easy-to-use button and LEDs will guide
drivers to their desired setting and allow them to make changes ON THE ROCKS! But have no fear, if adjusting
and tuning is not your game, the setup out of the box works extremely well. You can tune anything from the
strength of the brakes, to how smooth the throttle response is, and even the rotation of the motor. With dozens
of combinations, the Timbuk2 has what you've been searching for in a Brushless Rock Crawling ESC.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
In addition to its compact and lightweight design, the Timbuk2 uses advanced MOSFETs that are incredibly
powerful, yet small in size. This has allowed Novak to create a powerful ESC that boasts tons of power—all in a
shockingly small package. The Timbuk2 footprint is only 1.15” x 0.95” and weighs in at a paltry 0.69 oz, making it
40% smaller than the Goat 2S. Additionally, the Timbuk2 is essentially two ESCs in one. When it is used with a
standard brushless motor, the Timbuk 2 utilizes the Novak Edge ESC non-crawling software and can be run
down to a 10.5T sensored brushless motor.
AVAILABLE IN A SYSTEM
The Timbuk2 is available on its own to use with your current Novak Rock
Crawling Sensor-Based Brushless motor, or as a cost-saving system, paired with the Ballistic
Crawler Motor, the Timbuk2 / Ballistic Crawling Brushless System – 18.5T
(#3225). Either way you'll quickly find you have no need for pricey 3S LiPo
batteries. With the Timbuk2 and a Novak 18.5T Crawler Motor, you will have both
stump-pulling torque and drag-racing top speeds!
