I Love Novak

There are no ROAR rules affecting HV motors. I've heard that some guys are trying to cobble together some rules for 1/8th electric racing, but they will probably be wide open, anything goes.

I can check with Bob about the vehicle weights and the setups he used for his conversions We did this chart for winds/gears for the E-Maxx:

HV Pro System Speeds in E-Maxx

Here is the page for system/gearing suggestions for the various 1/8 Scale conversions:

Novak Nitro to Electric Conversion Kits

I am sure that you have noticed the various Novak based "disagreements" of late on the forum. Is there any info as to the wattage output of the hv motor, on 4s lipo? I am assuming all of the winds will produce similar output is the same vehicle when geared correctly.

I only ask as many are either pro novak or not. Looking at the motor's design and dimension (I have a 6.5hv) it appears to be a good option for a 1/8 buggy or a 1/10 MT like an emaxx. I would not consider it an option for a truggy, or an 1/8 MT, due to the weight of these vehicles. I am assuming that most want a setup geared for around 40mph, and am going off my experience with heavier vehicles. I do not have a hv esc, mainly as the old model lacked the adjustability that I like. I do have a few gtbs and xbrs, and am happy to see the hv pro has the newer programming. Now if only I could get my hands on one for a really good price...for testing purposes

The only thing I could find for wattage was the BL motor spec chart:

Novak Brushless Motor Specs

I'm sure that I haven't yet seen all the various Novak-based "disagreements"----I have to ration myself, or else I'll need to go have me a little "lie down"....

But I am composing an email to the engineers who can answer some of these questions. If you already have a 5mm rotor in your HV motor, PM me and I will see what I can do---I have pretty good contacts here.

Some of the "wording" is harsh, and I do not agree with most of it. The basis for the arguments is too vague for me, and I will just stay out of it.

I will send you a PM... Thanks!

The answer to the wattage question is that wattage is the same no matter the number of cells.

Hey, did you receive my PM?
