Novak's Nitro to Brushless Conversion Kits

[gixxer]

any plans for an updated esc? as for winds something around 2000kv for your current esc would be good(since you are limited to 4s).

The info on the new HV items will be released probably late Spring. Bob has been testing the esc prototype in his converted 1/8 test vehicles.

The Crawler Systems were a lot more popular for Christmas than we projected, so some of our releases have been delayed because of the increased demand. ROAR just approved the 17.5, 13.5 and 10.5 turn motors for stock racing, so those orders are increasing, too. We need to ship the Data loggers, the Mongoose 1/18 Systems and this whole Conversion release first.

So many projects, so little time.

I think a 2500kv motor would be good. This would allow higher motor speeds than the xl motors. That way lower gearing could be employed, making some extra low end torque.

sweet!!!! will i be able to send in a hvmaxx 4.5 system and upgrade to this when it makes it to market

I'll collect your comments and questions for Bob and Adnan (Novak's senior design engineer). I'm merely a conduit, an intermediary.

We offer the 540 motors in 11 winds, so adding a few more 550 winds shouldn't be a problem. The original HV systems were designed as drop-in replacements for the brush electronics in the E-Maxxes.

How things have changed in the last few years! When we released those systems, I don't think we had ever known anyone to use Lipo batteries.

thanks for the update. can you let us know what the planned voltage is for the new hv system? I currently run 5s and plan on going to 6s but want to make sure your new esc will be able to handle that.

I love your motors for 10th scale but dont use your stuff in 8th scale basically because of the esc. Could never get it to run more then about 10minutes with out thermaling in my e-maxx.

The new HV esc will be max 6s lipos. After reading these, and ther, forums, I told the engineers that if we couldn't design a new 6 lipo controller to just forget it. Our existing HV products are way overdue for replacement.

Great, this is a big step forward for electric. We have at least two compainies bringing out 6s sytems with motors. This will go a long way to bringing larger scale electric to the masses!

any updates on this? if its out soon enough maybe I can just skip the MMM all together.

I'd be willing to bet that this is waaaaaay down the road. MMM is next month...supposedly.
