Yes challange is a good thing. If traxxas designed a spur gear like the pede/rustler design, that "cups" over the slipper it would cure the problem. My point is that a 4yr old design, that is really not that "new" anymore, is somehow more important than a brand new, desined for high power brushless, vehicle? I just have to wonder about some people. What is the point of the new emaxx, if they already had an old emaxx with the novak system in it, why buy a new vehicle? Does not make much sense to me? The only difference between the two at that point would be better steering and slightly longer wheeelbase! The upgraed drivetrain would not be necessary, cause they would already have a vehicle that works. Not to knock Novak, but the system needs upgrading and there are much better components available for the same price. I know that the novak is popular, but so were alot of other rc products that no one uses anymore, mainly due to new and better products taking their place.
