Novak Brushless Conversion

[mwry13]

I hope so too... Big guys behind the company like Brent Thelkie and Ryan Lutz were interested in the car... Hopefully there enthusiasm will push a experamental car ^_^

I went for team Tyco too, I don't have a Tyco but none of the options fit, i do believe that the future is electric, but I don't think it will be because of Novak, RCMonster started the brushless revolution ages ago.

It may be a hit, anything publicised well enough will have buyers.

I won't be buying one to replace my setup. if they gave me one I'd try it for sure, and probably run till it broke then go back to my current setup.

I wouldn't even look at one if I had a MGM/Neu.

It seems Novak's first attempt at their HV system wasn't so great. However, if they put the effort into their second attempt that they have into their 10th scale race equipment, it will be very good.

I run my crt.5 on a Novak GTB esc and 6.5 velocity motor and it does not run hot with a calculated top speed of 40mph. I run up to the equivalent of 10min mains and get very little heat. I don't have a temp gun, but I can leave my finger on the motor with no discomfort (no heat sink) and the esc does not get above warm (stock fan).

I am very good friends with Ryan Lutz and we were racing together so i talked about the BL 1/8 buggies and he did not did not say much but i think he liked the it... But the down side is u can not run a 1hr main with out a battery change and what if the battery gets damaged or it is not charged all the way or the esc breaks because i know they can take a lot but a 1hr main and one might break so that is the down side... But you could say so much about a nitro car to because there is a lot that can go wrong to.. i do not think that electric 1/8 buggy or truggy will make it into the pro racing seen unless it was in its own class... The sound of a nitro car is so exciting and the electric is not but electric is faster and has more power over all...

So it i like both nitro and electric i think that when more pros get into the electric 1/8 cars then batteries will get better an last a good 45m minutes with full power and then i think most will switch to electric i race nirto right now but i am working a converting my 1/8 bugggy to electric..
