Yea...Novak seems to pump out lots of power from small motors. Novak motors are all internally 380 sized, so its actually unfair to compare them to actual 540 sized sensorless motors. We should really compare them to other 380 motors.

I have not gotten the 4.5 yet. There is actually one waiting for me where I get my parts from. All I have to do is go in and give them $110 and its mine. But I wanted to try my LiPo's (which should be here soon) on the 6.5 before I got the 4.5, and I knew if I got the 4.5 the 6.5 would never go back in, not even for a test lol...

Also, on top of that, in the past couple weeks I bought a Duratrax Ice, ProPeak 20Amp Power Supply, Hyperion Balancer, 4 8000mah 2S2P Lipo's form Maxamps, 2 1500mah 3S Lipos from Maxamps, an Factory 18T kit, a Mamba Competition 6800, a Spektrum SR3500 Micro Receiver, and a servo and other stuff for the 18T. On top of that, I have to buy presents for my Brother and Parents. So, my budget is pretty strained right now. And being 16 with no job, the budget is very tight. The funds for all of the above came from eBaying Lego's. Its amazing how much people will pay for StarWars stuff.

When I have extra money sitting around then I'll pick up the 4.5. Its not that I'm exactly dying for more speed...my truck is already very quick.

PS. Get extra capacitors (2 extra, to be exact) and wire them in parallel with the current cap on the HV ESC. The boost in throttle response is insane. I've done this on my 6.5 system and its made a huge difference.

My Revo is 9.2 pounds with 7 cell GP's, probably sub 8 with the Lipos. Since Novak Motors benifit so much from reduced weight (because they are high RPM motors), I'm sure a 4.5 would make my truck rocket fast...I wouldn't be surprised if I got more than 45mph out of it. If they can do it in a 12lb E-Maxx, I can certainly do it in my 9lb G2R.
