exert for Novak on Rc Tech:
The press release for the Havoc 1S controller and systems will go out in @2 weeks. This new Havoc 1S esc incorporates our new Smartboost circuitry----1S lipo cut-off and booster. At this time, we are planning 3 systems----10.5 (4200kv), 13.5 (3300Kv), and 17.5 (2200Kv). The systems will include the SS Pro spec motors and we will also offer the esc separately.
The Havoc 1S is also compatible with our new Ballistic motors. We have not yet determined the motor limit for the Havoc 1S esc; the motor limit we set for the 2S and 3S Havocs is 8.5, while the new Havoc Pro is rated to 3.5 and above.
We believe that this system will attract new racers into the hobby, as well as offering an inexpensive system for others wanting to try out one cell racing. Our "street price" for the systems will be @ $159.99. The Havoc 1S esc should be @ $99.00 (street price). When we do the press release, we will have additional info, such as projected ship dates.

Opps. :-) Double post.
Havok 1S with SS motors are out. This is not the new ballistic motor, but the older SS motor (The same one I have been running in my pan for acouple of years now) Uses most of the same parts as a Ballistic, but you can not change the stator on the SS, and the motor timing is not marked on the can. This system has the smart Boost built in, so its designed to work in 1/12 or WGT Applications with 1S Lipo.

"Novak Smart Boost™ circuitry. This innovative technology allows drivers to power their vehicle's electronics on a single 1S Li-Po battery pack without installing additional external boosters or receiver packs. "
OK, that seems like a good feature.
Only problem is the expected shipping date isnt until begining of october right now. That could be alittle late for the indoor season. I talked with Craig about indoor season already, but I am going to wait for the official "This is what you can run" post before I order anything new.
