Novak 4cell GTB works just fine without a booster or reciever pack.

running a booster is easy, so why worry about it. I am using both the TQ and Dimension engineering boosters, just plug in the main battery and go.

I do beleive this also but when I plug in a 7.4 rx pack it does seem like it moves faster... but that is with 7.4. I really am stumped on this for some reason I have some people tell me to use one or a booster and some saying it is just fine, but with my servo only getting 3.7v its not at its full capability?

With the 7.4v Rx pack plugged into the Rx directly, your servo is seeing the full voltage of the Rx pack (as high as 8.4v when fully charged). Some servos will have their lifespan reduced with above 6.0v. With any of the voltage boosters, you're probably only getting 5 - 6v at the servo. So, yes, an Rx pack will make the servo move faster, but really shouldn't affect the speed of the car at all, just the speed of how fast you can turn.

This is a two part question:

First of all, almost every ESC will run on a 1S that doesn't have a minimum voltage cutoff.

Two, it is the servo and Rx that need the booster or Rx pack not the ESC. So if you don't mind a slow servo and possible glitching and shortened range of the radio you should be fine without either.

You can use a 5cell Rx pack or a 2S Lipo Rx pack with a regulator which isn't difficult to do. Then you would get the best performance from your servo and Rx. Plus the Novak Booster has a 1S voltage cutoff so you won't ruin your battery.

Use a booster or pack. Sure there are some set-ups that will work without it, but none of them will work as well.
