Novak announces Vintage Trans-Am spec motor

Novak has been a big supporter of the U.S. Vintage Trans-Am R/C Racing Series and they even developed a special Ballistic Spec 25.5T brushless motor to use for competition. They recently introduced a new motor product line called the Vulcan, and they have borrowed some of that technology to create the new Ballistic Boss VTA edition 25.5T brushless motor. The Boss uses the original Ballistic Spec 25.5T stator, plus updated end-bells and cooling vents. Read the official press release below for more info:

The Ballistic Boss VTA Edition Brushless Motor is an updated motor that uses the original Ballistic Spec 25.5T stator, and adds updated end bells and cooling vents to improve the longevity of your investment. Updated bearings and parts have been used to streamline the motor’s fit and finish. The standard Neo 12.3mm rotor returns as the proven choice for efficiency and long life. The Ballistic Boss VTA motor meets the Trans-Am Association’s guidelines and will ensure an exciting and fun day at the track.

The Boss VTA Edition 25.5T motor has been developed to perform alongside the Ballistic 25.5T VTA motors to offer fair and consistent competition. VTA has been growing racing across the nation, and Novak is proud to support the VTA and their efforts to continue growing simple fun and fair racing for all levels of talent and ability.

The Ballistic Boss VTA Edition Brushless Motor features an easy-to-adjust timing assembly, a removable sensor harness, and a completely rebuildable construction, including the interchangeable stator. Each Ballistic Boss VTA motor is built, electronically timed, and tested by experienced motor technicians at the Novak factory in Irvine, California. We take pride in bringing a USA-made product to the USVTA world of racing.

WHAT IS VINTAGE TRANS-AM?

The U.S. Vintage Trans-Am 1/10-scale R/C Road Racing Class is based on 4WD touring cars. Its goal is to return these classic cars to the track in a cost-controlled racing format that promotes driver development and entertaining racing. The class’ rules were developed to provide competitive racing with controlled chassis, battery, motor, tire and body specifications. For a low-initial cost, prospective Trans-Am racers can get a car and electronics, and be racing with little time or effort.
