Personally I suggest you put your Money Into the Novak SS Brushless. Most clubs already have a BL Class or are looking at one in the very near future and the things just ROCK. In unlimited Mode they Fly and in Limited Mode they push the car along very nicely indeed with superb runtime especially with a good 3300mAh Pack...

It is so good to just take your car out and run it and not have to worry about Brushes, Comm Cutting, Motor Cleaning, etc etc... Leaves a lot more time for serious FUN

the brushless hacker is the better motor. speed wise. it has various setings with the comp and even sports esc. i took it out to moorebank with the base settings (not unlimited) and 75/22 48 pitch gears/pinions and it is balistic.

i did notice though that small trigger reactions aren't "sensed" by the motor.from standstill. but it is very quick.

i have heard that the novak isn't as competative. and the speed isn't up to mod levels

i ment brushless hacker, sorry for any misunderstandings

there is no doubt about the 6T Hackers speed it's very fast. The trade off is runtime and thermal shutdowns. The Novak is slower, but yeilds more runtime and is simpler to install and setup. At most club days the Novak would be fine. At special events like Summer/Winter Champs etc, invading the top 10 with the Novak would be a hard task (i've tried, normally just out in the b's). Sub 10 wind brushed motors , big cells and damn good driving will continue to dominate the big events.

The Novak has very good off the mark accerlation, and very good top end, but lacks mid range punch, the mid range area is great on sub 10 brushed motors, producing strong power exiting corners, gaining crucial time each lap.

at the only run i tryed it at (moorebank) it was dead cool.

i am assuming on smaller "on/off" throttle tracks it might get hotter but....geez is it quick? IS IT EVER!

Thermo shutdown is a little issue with the 6t Hacker but, if geared right, no dramas making 6-7 minutes. Don't know about in 40 degree heat yet, but no dramas, so far.

If you go a 7 or 8t Hacker, then heat/thermo shutdown shouldn't pose a problem at all with extra runtime to boot.

Uncle has the 8t Hacker. Top end power doesn't seem to be much different, but gets there a smidge slower. Still very competitive against the brushed motors and I saw him do 2 heats on the same pack at an Eastern Creek club day when he first got it. So runtime is extremely good.

personally i haven’t had any issues with thermal shutdown on my hacker sport speedie /w 6T yet..... but when i first got the system, i had lots of trouble on a standstill. If I punched it on a standstill (what i had been doing with brushed), it gets very stally and hard to manage.

Yeah, I've been having that problem with starts as you've may have noticed. Tried alot of different suggestions from a number of people but still haven't fully sorted that out yet. Coxy's doesn't seem to suffer with that problem at all. I think he must have nailed the perfect technique to starting.

Had no problem with shutdown at Meca.

VenomWorldOrder

thant could be the esc due to your being a sports. becouse with mine i can gun it and it shoots of like a rocket.

i also have that small dead point when initially accelerating. it's only a small issue though no big woop.

4 people with hackers so far ay! i'll look out for you at v challenge. i have the ugly arsed blue green gray stratus body with no stickers. (has one solitary freeby fast tires sticker on the side)

I've got the Competition ESC but still have that problem. Not so bad if your really gentle on the throttle on initial take off thou. I can't even look like giving it much until I've got a bit of momentum.

Slabism

im not sure what it is, maby the esc? scott seems to have similar problems with his comp
lately iv been trying to use very little throttle to get it of the line and this works very well......but i know for sure, if i punch it, its going to cut out for a half second and thats a disaster with modified cars starting behind

Tell me about it.

It scared me at Meca having 6 cars run up the back of me off the start. I felt sorry for everyone that started behind me in that race. Last thing you want to cause is a pile up on the grid.

Slabism

lol…i did exactly the same thing at CH when I first got the hacker. Stoped on the grid in the final and got collected bad by nearly everyone

Slabism

i now know of 7ppl in Syd using the hacker systems. You will have fun with the hacker at venom. Its one of the few tracks which have the grip and size to make good use the power of the 6T

SMC say 15 chargers on GP cells and they notice runtime starting to drop off on the machine. Voltage stays up alot longer thou. But realistically the average racer wouldn't notice this until probably twice that many chargers. But your right, you must keep turning them over to stay up front.
