yeah, b coumpound is right. i gotta try those caliber knockoffs. those look really grippy..... but with all the esc drama i've got goin' on right now i'm gonna be broke for awhile. :lol:

btw....
Tower has the novak HV sets on sale. i got a 7.5 (motor and esc) for $135 today.

7.5HV? Looking at your list of trucks, I cant see where you'd use it.. i have a 5.5, and sold a 6.5 with my Slash 4x4... you must be putting it in a MAXX... i can see the 7.5 on 4s being fun.. the 5.5 on 4s was a beast.. that is a great price though, especially if you have alot of 2s packs to run together on that system.. i LOVE:love: me some sensored... and im my 10 scale stuff, i wont go back to sensorless.. ever... i really wanna try one of the new Orion "high torque" motors.. that motor just feels good.. heavier than my Novak HV...

I'd actually be using it in either my ofna or my 8ight-E buggy. i remember using a 2S on my 2650 neu motor and it was plenty fast for bashing at my track.

so i think geared very conservatively, it would be plenty fast to use a 3S pack on the 7.5 since it's a 3000kv motor.

mostly the novak system is an experimnent to see if it'll work as a basher until i can get the parts i need to fix my mamba issue. BrianG and SuicideNeil gave me some great advise on how to fix my BEC issue and early testing looks very very positive.

could someone please measure max dimensions on battery tray? Would a 6S fit?

i've run 6S in mine before. (2) 3S flightmaxx and turnigy 40C packs work fine. so does venom IIRC.

you just need to run shorter packs. i have no way to measure mine right now since i'm not at home.

145mm x 53mm... height can be about anything you want.. the straps are plenty long..

I am also running the Parada tires on my buggy and have been pleased with them. The compound is pretty firm, but they should last a long time. Also have the Badlands-style ones from the same seller, forgot what they are called, but I haven't run them much yet because on grass they have too much traction and I kept rolling over in turns.

i just ordered myself a lx-1e from tower and a castle 2200kv motor from e-bay.

i also got a novak 18-20t pinion set to go along with it. i plan on running the 18t on 4s and 3s. i hope this thing is as durable as you guys say it is.

btw, i know novak's pinions aren't exactly the best, but that is what plastic spur gears are for.

YAY! Really need to order a 16... the 18 and 21 i ordered are outrageous big.. Im gonna need to order a 6s.... :)

i'll still be ordering that 16t pinion. don't worry:lol:

Order 2, i'll pay you for one of them.. split the shipping...

Fun with gearing today...

21/51 on 4s = 57mph with body and wing on.. ON GRASS!!! LOL.. back to 14/51 for now... till i gets me some new batteries... :whistle:

what do i need for LX 1E
 

take out the center diff and replaced it with an ofna center shaft with no diff so i can put a smaller spur gear on?
thanks,shaun

anyone no a part number for a center shaft that will fit LX 1E
