Lets see, had a losi xxx-t bl truck that died about 2 mins in to the first run. Had a few ss escs mysteriously drop a few fets and cogg terribly. My crawler esc does not work properly, no drag brake and weird reverse issues. I have had good success with the 2 gtb escs I have, although a friend had issues with his. Novak fans lose blades quite easily. I have not owned a hv esc, just cannot bear to part with that kind of cash for something so poor...
Novak service was decent, around 2 weeks to get replacements. Many people will mod the hv escs to handle a single pack (short sighted by novak to assue 2 packs would be used). And the internal bec cannot be used with a single pack.
I have had better luck with CC products. I have only smoked one MM and that was trying to run it with a 7xl, geared for 55mph. Worked fine till I got a rock stuck in the spur and over drawed the esc till the solder melted...
Have a v1 MMM that has 6+ hours on it and still working. I have 2 v2 MMM that I will be testing too.
Just trying to say that every company/product has issues. Plus the novak hv setup is very gearing sensitive, and not powerful enough to push a MT or truggy fast. Will work fine with a buggy, and the new hv pro is a step in the right direction. Not going to compare to a 1515 1Y and a MMM. The novak will run with maxamps packs though
