New Novak HV 6.5 brushless upgrade

hi i am doing a revo conversion and making the revo electric and was looking a the HV 4400 and the 6.5 one was wondering if that would be good and i also need help on what gearing to use.. i am going to be running at the track most of the time.

Between those two, I'd go with the 6.5. But instead of either of those, you should wait a couple weeks for the MMM ESC to come out from Castle Creations and just get a Feigao 8xl or 9xl motor to go with it. Much more powerful and you'll be much happier with it.

ok i how much is a 8xl and how much do you think the mmm will be?.. i am going to be at RC X so maby they will sell the mmm there that would be cool :)

I just got an 8xl shipped from superfastrc.com for $62 to replace my HV-MAXX 4.5 Way happier with it, running it from a MM/CC BEC for now, way more power 30 MPH wheelies aren't a problem. My Novak setup puked out on me for no apparent reason so I bought the Feigao and MM

ok so i think that i am going to rase the budget to 600-700... but is the novak 4400 HV system which is the motor and esc is that a good set up in a e-revo

No def not a good set up! Unless ur picking one up dirt cheap stay away from it. The motors need the upgraded 5mm rotor to be reliable ($50) and the esc still can't handle that motor. I paid $230 for mine then another $50 for the 5mm upgrade and its useless now. My Mamba Max was $140 from my lhs, the CC BEC was $22 on here and an 8xl that already has a 5mm shaft was $62 so that is actually cheaper and more powerful. Or wait another couple weeks and get the MMM for $170 and you wouldn't need the CC BEC to run it on 4s LiPo so it pretty much cost the same if you can wait. No matter what though I recomend staying away from the Novak setup!
