I think the existing motors need to prove themselves first, my experience with Novak has been less than impressive, I was the first one in my state to run a Novak GTB system (yrs back), second run a lead came out of the sensor plug, after being screwed around by your joke of an Australian Distributor (who is still a joke), the motor gave it up (continued glitching), I ended up selling the GTB system for like $100 and bought an LRP Sphere system which ran flawlessly for a yr or so

Yes that's in the past, but bad experiences are memories that linger with people, I haven't chanced it with a Novak product since, and from what I read, the Ballistic motors run hot as well! (My Fantom Ion 17.5 came off at 38 degrees celcius after a 6 minute Slash race, a fellow racer with the same gearing, running a Novak Ballistic 17.5, came off at 62 celcius)
