I don't think so, I have run Novak hv (4400), they were nice. I think the Novak might have an advantage, smaller rotor, sensored, possibly lighter weight. I love my neu/quark combo, but the novak might be better on dirt, just because they are less torquey and better mimick a nitro engine as far as powerband. That's what i remember about the novak i had, With the lipo cut-off they can now compete.

that said, its going to be an intresting year

I kinda agree with this. As much as I love my MMM/TeknoNeu the Novak HV motors aren't that horrible. The smaller rotor and less torque is a little easier to control on dirt. If it came down to being limited to 4s for racing I would def consider one of their motors, run it without the sensor with my MMM. The HV esc on the other hand is the weak link!

Was looking back and although I have never used a quark, I always have heard good things about their power delivery. However I think some of the advantages that can be brought via the Novak HV can also be had via the MMM/MM without the disadvantages of the Novak system. With the ability to change so many parameters of the MMM in regards to start up, timing, braking percentages, throttle curve, and braking curbve, I think it is fairly easy to come up with an optimum setting for each situation. I can personally testify to the smooth startup of the CC firmware in the new MMM and MM and find it every bit as smooth as any of the Novak's I tried.

Keep in mind I am not dogging you for using the Novak, I am only criticising what I believe are faults of Novak as a corporation. I think eveyrone should use what ever suits them best and/or they like the best.

No worries, Everyone has an opinion, I just never had the problems with my novak that everyone else has had. I also agree that the novak wasted the opportunity, to be on the forefront. With all they brought to brushed racing, you'd think they should be the leader of the brushless movement. However, at this time, they are often last looked at

Unless you race ROAR!
