i tried sending an email to ask them the proper fdr to use for the 60A system, it returned with an error stating that Hobbywing support mailbox is full. i guess they may be overwhelmed ... i wish they would fix this by answering some of the technical question, which i'm sure is redundant, add these to their site support pages as part of a knowledgebase or FAQ's.
@Airflow, i dont think the sensor wires on the novak will pose as a big problem specially that i only drive TA03F's which has screw positioned around the motor area where i can easily strap the cables on.
Well in the absence of replies I will be testing the one I have coming in to see if it is waterproof, by putting it in the Traxxas Slash which I use to jump the fish pond / swimming pool. The stock ESC (XL5 Blue) has been perfect, soaked, submerged etc and still performs A1 as does the receiver box.
If it's proven NOT to be waterproof I will no doubt expose all those retailers who advertise that it is. (rcmart, rcmarket and hobbywing themselves)
ESC arrives Wednesday (with luck)
Wish me luck!

I've been running a 35amp/3300kv combo on default settings for a few weeks now and is very happy. I do have a few questions?
I run my system on Tamiya mini and was thinking of selecting level 9 for the "DRRS" start Mode (punch). Would this be a good setup choice and how do you activate it? I remember some brushed esc you have to brake for a few seconds to activate the punch for grid starts.
Im also thinking of increasing the timing to level 8. I know this will give an increase in rpm, but whats best suited for a 3300kv motor.
Thanks in advance.

OK GUYS,i been testing the 60A version and im very impressed with it.
( make sure the switch is in a safe location as it will break easily ).
i been running it together with a speedpassion 10.5t at m local indoor track that is about 20m x14m.
during the first race i did crash and the switch did break ,making the esc resetting all the settings for some reason.
i did cut the wires and join them together and i was able to finish other 3 rounds.
the performance versus price i think is great,i did use the maximum timing on the esc (about 30deg) plus the sp motors come with a 30deg build in and it was responsive and great to drive,i did use a 6.5 gear ratio,i will go up some tooth on the pinion next race to take to 5.9 land see how does perform in compare to my other car running 5.9 ratio.
only one disappointment ,it not so smooth at start,and the capacitor is very big.
thanx

Dan, in our experience (and what we've been told) the 'timing advance' isn't quite what you think. It doesn't actually advance the timing, just alters the power delivery to make it more aggressive so it 'seems' faster.
We've tried the motors at max settings and they didn't go any quicker, just felt different. So we've gone back to default - the only changes we've made are to the brake settings.
I should add though that we run the 13T/3000kv in the minis down in Vic.
I could not buy a brushless ESC used in my area for that.. and 9T is tons of motor for me.
The 35A is rated for the 9T max - i am going to run it in my T2 truck that I race with. That and a YR 3200 hardcase and I should be set.
I will report back as to shipping times, how it came, installed, etc.

Best of luck, it's a good combo, just be aware my experience with rcmarket has been when it arrives it's all good but they are one of the slower guys to process an order and reply to emails. Had one automatically switch to a paypal query on mine (automatic security thing I have) and they held the order up in protest!

The esc is alegadly water proof will test mine soom but you will prolly need to remove the fan
And i dont know about the motor......but i hope so

Just for all thoser guys complaining about no replies from Hobbywing recently. The main person who talks to you was away at the Beijing Exhibition . Add to that the China national day holiday that goes for a week and no you know where he was.
I purchased the 9turn. I am a noob at gearing so I would love some advice on what pinion and spur to run for drifting in a sprint 2. Right now motor gets a tad hot after 10minutes of use.
Apart from that, i think its a great cheap system. I dont like the clogging at low throttle. Its abit annoying , Is there anyway to get rid of it or is that how its suppose to be? Its fine once you get it going and rolling but on a technical drift track it messes me up.
