Press Release October 2005 The first choice for Brushless Competition: NOSRAM MATRIX EVOLUTION Brushless+Brushed digital! The success at the Italian Nationals 2005 with the NOSRAM Matrix Brushless+Brushed Speed control and the NOSRAM Storm Brushless Modified was a fantastic success for NOSRAM in 2005. The superior Brushless technology is rapidly growing all over the world now and the NOSRAM Brushless System is the leading technology featuring outstanding power and extra smooth throttle response! NOSRAM is now taking this successful brushless technology to the next step by releasing the MATRIX EVOLUTION speed control! The all new MATRIX EVOLUTION is developed for highest racing performance and best possible track handling! The MATRIX EVOLUTION Brushless+Brushed is now the highest performance speed control out of the NOSRAM Brushless range but will NOT replace the original NOSRAM MATRIX Brushless+Brushed speed control! Both speed controls will be available in the future. The MATRIX EVOLUTION Brushless+Brushed speed control offers a lot of new and outstanding Features: Automatic Brushless/Brushed Adaptation Enhanced Digital with 4 adjustable modes XPS.2 software FreezeDrive Design Forward/Brake SmartCell System NiMH-LiPo automatic adaptation Sensored Design Over 3.5 Turns (Brushless) and over 5 Turns (Brushed) Motorlimit 3.0A BEC Small in size and weight 24.5g 3-way Protection System External Solder Tabs 13AWG Power Wires
Automatic Brushless/Brushed Adaptation NOSRAM exclusive! The Automatic Brushless/Brushed Adaptation pushes the convenient use of Brushless and Brushed Motors to the next level. The automatic function detects the connected motor type and adjusts the correct brushless or brushed mode automatically without any switching or adjustment by the user! Therefore no more manual setups are required after changing the motor type. The NOSRAM MATRUX EVOLUTION Brushless + Brushed will do this for you automatically! Enhanced Digital with 4 adjustable modes The NOSRAM MATRIX EVOLUTION Brushless+Brushed features four Nosram Razor Evolution style modes which now enable the driver to adjust motor power, driving- feel in addition to the brake- feel adjustment already available in the original MATRIX Brushless+Brushed speed control. This means Razor Evolution style adjustments for brushless motors AND brushed motors! The 4 modes of the NOSRAM MATRIX EVOLUTION Brushless+Brushed 1. SmartCell System - NiMH-LiPo adaptation 2 adjustable settings: #1: NiMH-LiPo automatic adaptation #2: NiMH 4 cell racing mode 2. Power Profiles X.P.S.2 (Xtreme Phase System) power profiles for brushless motors P.M.S.2 (Power Management System) power profiles for brushed motors 2.1 X.P.S.2 (Xtreme Phase System) power profiles for brushless motors The NOSRAM engineers developed 6 all new XPS.2 power profiles to adjust the MATRIX EVOLUTION to all track conditions perfectly. XPS.2 Xtreme Phase Control is an all new brushless technology which results in more power and better driveability. Depending on the status of the car (start, acceleration out of a corner and full speed on the straight) the XPS.2 software calculates the perfect motor management. #1: Extremely smooth for low-traction #2: Very linear #3: Linear, increased punch #4: Aggressive map TC #5: Very aggressive map TC #6: Super aggressive map TC
2.2 P.M.S.2 (Power Management System) Power Profiles for Brushed Motors Dominator Evolution style power programs. #1: Extremely smooth for low-traction #2: Very linear, maximum runtime #3: Linear, increased punch #4: Aggressive map, TC #5: Very aggressive map TC (6 to 12turn motors) #6: Stock motor map, maximum power (17 to 27turn motors only) 3. Initial Brake: The MATRIX EVOLUTION speed control offers a Razor Evolution style Initial Brake adjustment for both brushless and brushed motors. 6 levels can be set from level-1 (linear brake) to level-6 (very aggressive brake). Initial Brake allows the driver to set a certain level of hand-brake effect, i.e. the driver can vary the minimum brake effect when applying the brakes. 4. Automatic Brake: The MATRIX EVOLUTION speed control offers a Razor Evolution style Automatic Brake adjustment for both brushless and brushed motors. 6 levels can be set from level-0 (no Auto Brake) to level-6 (Max Auto Brake). FreezeDrive Design NOSRAM s secret FreezeDrive Design results in lower speedo temperature under all racing conditions. Sorry, no further details to be disclosed. Simply a step ahead of the competition! Forward/Brake The development target for the NOSRAM MATRIX EVOLUTION speed control was uncompromising and outstanding performance in top level RC competition racing. In order to achieve this goal, the NOSRAM engineering department had to develop a pure forward/racing brake design speed control without reverse function. SmartCell System NiMH-LiPo automatic adaptation The NOSRAM MATRIX EVOLUTION is ready for the next battery technology LiPo batteries! NOSRAM s exclusive SmartCell System ensures that LiPo batteries can be used safely. Sensored Design The development target for the NOSRAM MATRIX EVOLUTION speed control was uncompromising and outstanding performance in top level RC competition racing. In order to achieve this goal, the NOSRAM engineering department had to develop a sensored design. Based on intensive design studies and track testing, this is the only way to achieve the proportionality, drive feel and brake feel with a brushless motor as top drivers are used to from their brushed motors.
Motorlimit Motorlimit with brushless motors: Over 3.5 turns all available motors of today Motorlimit with brushed motors: Over 5 turns all available motors of today 3.0A BEC The MATRIX EVOLUTION features a high performance, 3.0A BEC. Strong and reliable to power all available servos, receivers and personal transponders. Small in size and weight With a modern style design and a footprint of only 33.3 x 37.7 mm (in between the size of a Dominator evolution and a International) and only 24.5g, the NOSRAM MATRIX EVOLUTION Brushless+Brushed digital speed control is incredibly small for a brushless speed control. 3-way Protection System protection system 3-way digital protection system against overload, over temperature and short circuit. THE digital security package! External solder tabs Due to the external solder tabs the power wires of the NOSRAM Matrix can be replaced in seconds. Therefore it is simple to use the speedo in numerous cars. 13AWG power wires The development target for the NOSRAM MATRIX EVOLUTION speed control was uncompromising and outstanding performance in top level RC competition racing. In order to achieve this goal, the NOSRAM engineering department decided to use high performance 13AWG power wires as used in the Dominator evolution without any connectors.
