Novak has not offered the Super Sport controller for years, so its technology has been completely surpassed by our current racing controllers.
Our ESCs are not (yet) computer programmable; however, we do offer the most intuitive, on-board programming available, even in our budget priced, soon-to-be-released Havoc 3s controller:
Nine adjustable parameters:
Minimum Brake (10 settings from 3-50%),
Drag Brake (10 settings from 3-50%),
Dead Band (5 settings from 2-6%),
Minimum Drive (5 settings from 2-12%),
Throttle Curve (Linear, Expo-1 and Expo-2),
Brake Frequency (7 settings from 1-8 kHz),
Reverse,
Motor Rotation
Li-Po Cut-Off
These programming options are generally more than enough for racers and can be pit-adjusted with no need for an external computer hook-up. So, it really is "to each his own".
But, the (ROAR approved) Spec wind, sensored motors designed for racing will always operate more precisely, and smoothly with a sensored controller.
