Default NEW Novak Velocity 3.5 turn brushless!!!

Just when you thought the 4.5 velocity was crazy fast,they bring out the 3.5turn velocity brushless!

Man they just keep getting faster!

Heres the link for the rc411 review http://rc411.com/pages/newsarchive.p...e=072006#20538

soon they will probably have a 2.5 turn!!

The Sintered rotor is an optional part. I am pretty sure most of the santioning bodies are looking at legalizing sintered rotors though.

No... the release says the 3.5 comes with the sintered magnet rotor.

Velociti Nickel-Plated Sintered Rotor
"Description:*This is the replacement rotor for Novak’s Velociti 3.5R Racing Brushless Motor and is an upgraded rotor for the Velociti 4.5R, Velociti 5.5R, Velociti 6.5R, Velociti 7.5R and other Novak 540-size brushless motors that have an oversized front bearing. Made of Sintered material, this Novak-designed rotor provides increased magnetic strength, improved motor braking power, improved motor acceleration and power, and improved performance under higher temperature conditions."

If you actually read the info in the link, you will find that novak says this is the fastest motor that they will produce.

Nicadraus,

I would have to say that, judging by the speed of the 4.5, the 3.5 is going to be the equivalent of a HOT 6x1. I honestly can't see any use for it in TC unless it's a friggin huge outdoor track. I think the peeps that are going to get the most use out of it are the 4 cell oval guys...

Actually....come to think of it.
My 4.5 is happy running around 10.2FDR

Novak, please tell me the 3.5 doesn't need a crazy low ratio. 10.2 is already pretty low. I seriously can't fit a lower ratio into my car!
I'm running as large a spur as i can. Unless i do some serious grinding of teh motor mount...

Hmmmmm...

now I think of it...
why do these chassis's have to get lighter?

if the motor is too fast and throwing off the car when it starts, how about make the chassis heavier? and make the chassis like the xxx-s, and it prevent the sand and dust get into the gear box or the belts.

so how long does it last? 20 minutes?
