Instruction Manual 

Product Overview 

The NovaLink

TM 

provides users with expanded programming adjustability. It comprises a unique module 

that easily plugs into the speed control and an included USB cord. Using the integrated software disk, 

customers can fine tune the ESC’s multiple parameters by inputting the desired values or using the user-
friendly graphic controls. Additionally, each personalized set of parameters can be stored on a PC to recall 

and use again later. These custom-made parameter sets can, also, be shared with other drivers. The 
NovaLink will never be outdated due to the easy-to-download software updates available to users on 

Novak’s Web site. The NovaLink is compatible with Windows® XP™, Vista™, and 7™ computer-operating 
platforms.
