NOVAK SS5800 system

The ss5800 is a smooth system. I have had one for a while and I actually like it a lot. It isn't the powerhouse that some of the other systems are, but it is smooth. On 7 cells, it will be plenty powerful. the u-force/plett combos are extremely nice and smooth as well, but cost 3 times as much. the MGM controllers with a lehner basic motor is proving itself to be one of my favorite setup for the smaller trucks (1/10 scale). The controller is very smooth.
I am still waiting for the work from BK on your controller. I told you about the second one, but I am thinking it may be a programming parameter or something. Easter in Germany is a big holiday, so the controller sat in customs for a few days. They have it in their possession now and I would expect to know something at the beginning of the week (Monday/Tuesday). If I don't have the answer, I will wire up the 18150, attach a heat sink/clamp and send it your way (along with your soldering iron).

Okay, sounds good. I think I'll prolly go with ss5800 on 7 cells then. It doesn't need to be a powerhouse. It's what my wife, kids, and guests drive when they want to participate in the fun. I only drive it when the Maxx is down.

If it's a programming issue, then that's something you definately need to know about. I am somewhat concerned about the 42,000 limit of the thing too. It seems a strange limitation for a top end controller. I would think a 9L could easily push that limit. I rather hope the 18150 w/100,000 limit arrives instead (unless the 42,000 limit is changable in programming too).
