It's been my backup system for the last couple years, but I no longer have anything that it will power (all 1/8th scale). Its got the 5mm shaft conversion on it.

The HV4400 is a 6.5 turn motor, not a 4.5 turn motor.

It was rated at 4400Kv because of the bonded rotor that came in the original HV motor.

These are offered strictly for 2S racing, but they seem to be doing quite well. We discontinued our 4.5 HV Pro motors because they were never advised for racing apps but customers kept racing them and burning them up anyway. Any 4.5 wind 550 size (5000Kv) motors we sell in the future will probably be on-line only.

We are "resuscitating" our Ballistic 550 project; so many projects, so little time. We are still back-ordered on our 540 Ballistics...

When we discontinued the 4.5 HV Pro motors, we took back a lot of them from distributors---we are goods guys.

So, we had all of these 4.5s in our motor mfg department collecting dust. Then Jay Halsey and Bob started looking for some system for the Ofna SC and decided on the Havoc Pro/ HV 4.5 Pro motor. They seem to be doing well with this combo.

This is why we are combo-ing this up for sale. We OEM these 2S Combos to NitroHouse. Many of the other SC vehicles do not seem to have room for this longer 550 motor, so this may be a limited market, but this set-up seems to be winning races.

We can always reactivate the store listing if we see a demand.

I always thought 4s was too much for that wind, on 2s i see where it can run lots better. With the larger size of the sc trucks (even the 2wd's), i see where the hv motors will be good. I didn't want my last post here to say i hated Novak, I started with them and like them to this day, Just thought the hv was slightly over it's head in the MT wars

novaktwo, you mentioned a ballistic 550 on rctech, i'm looking for something to replace my 5700 after it burns up in my hyper 10sc, eta?

We will probably announce the Ballistic 550s soon. We are doing some additional tooling, so shipping will depend on getting all parts in house.

We originally developed the 550 motor for the E-Maxx, long before there was any 1/8th racing. Once guys wanted to race 1/8th electric, these motors were simply overpowered. This is why we discontinued the 4.5 version HV. The 4.5s work great on 2S in the 4x4s.
