The next statement usually is "If not for power it's not worth it", that's usually before They realize I'm still running after their 3rd or 4th pit stop. I still say that Novak's are the best racing setups for buggies and MT's (despite running hot and being a bit behind the times, hopefully the "next gen" setups will improve on that), simply because they do the best at mimicking the nitro's speed and overall power. I might get blasted for that last comment, but it's my belief
BTW, I have raced and lapped the field with a Novak hv 4400(pre-sintered rotor). I have yet to really run a true high power setup in an official race, I hope to soon, but i will still be using nitro's speed to help setup my trucks

I agree that the Novak HV system is smooth and I had some success with it in my buggy but unfortunately the system is not engineered properly and will eventually fail. I'm not sure how Novak keeps up with all the warranties for these esc's. I'm also puzzled why the HV's seem to work OK in MT's and fail so often in a buggy.
