Why would we go through all this design phase, not to mention the high tooling costs, to slap the same "HV crap" on it?

By the way, Novak is one of few companies offering affordable HV (4s LiPo) systems---ESCs and motors----and we have had them available for several years. Reliable HV crap isn't as easy to design and build (service) as many would like to believe. (If it were, CC and Tekin and LRP would have released HV car products years ago.)

Actually I have seen a few Hv systems on 1/8 buggies. They are lighter in weight, and the lower kv (6.5?) novak system may work well with a smaller pinion. Not sure about this though.

General concensus seems to be the Novak system is not optimal for a heavy vehicle with high gearing. I am sure the intended use in the emaxx was not more than 35mph, given their gearing recomendations of around 70/14.

There is not a hv system other than the novak at the moment. We get to mix and match various products to get the job done, which is ok if you know what you are doing. The Novak system must appeal to the beginner, or a lighter vehicle owner looking to go brushless. I am sure alot of them have sold.
