Brushless Motor Gearing & Over-Heating Notice
Novak motors have been designed to handle the rigors of the various forms of electric racing. Through multiple forms of testing, customer reports, and inspection of damaged motors, we have determined the the maximum external safe operating temperature for Novak brushless motors is 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Motors that have been run at higher temperatures have most likely already sustained internal damage.
This internal damage can render the motor inoperable if you continue to run it and will ultimately result in burned or melted coils inside the motor and can in turn result in speed control failure. This type of damage to the motor is not covered under the Novak product warranty.
From our testing and experience, keeping the external operating temperature under 160 degrees F (72 degrees C) will provide the best performance when the car is handling well. At this temperature, the racing life of the motors will be quite a long time and should require only occasional replacement of the bearings and rotors.
Precaution about Advanced Timing:
Use of Novak brushless motors with ESCs that have advance motor timing can reult in excessive current draw, which will rapidly increase the motor temperature above the safe operating limit. As most of these racing ESCs do not have a thermal overload protection for motors, continued operation will result in internal damage to the brushless motor. This type of damage is not covered under the product's warranty.
Precaution about Over-Gearing:
Motor temperature is the ONLY way to properly set the vehicle's gearing. Over-gearing the motor will result in excessive operating temperatures, which may result in internal damage. This type of damage is not covered under the product's warranty.
Results of Overheating a Brushless Motor:
All Novak Brushless Motors are hound-wound, and are assembled and tested at the Novak facility in Irvine, California. Each motor (yes, 100%) is meticulously inspected and tested for internal shorts, and is run extensively before final packaging.
Please follow these important operating temperature guidelines. Thank you.

It's hard to see, but it is a flipflop paint.

Really is a gorgeous shell. Your paint but also just the shape of it. Is that the Tamiya? I think maybe they are the only ones right now that will pay for the extravagant license. I love painting pretty shells, but I find that if I do an exceptional job and it looks really good then I don't have the heart to race it. On the other hand if I botch it in some way then I'm all too glad to beat the hell out of it as quickly as I can.

Howdy USGT folks. The USGT class isn't supported in my local region (our club is small so we don't want to have too many classes with only a few cars in each, so we only run VTA and 17.5 blinky touring). I do like the USGT rules though, so my friends and I who parkinglot bash after work on fridays roughly set up our cars around usgt rules.
We aren't implimenenting the spec ride tires, but do use treaded tires in any size. We run on a dusty unprepped asphalt parking lot. What tires have you guys found to work best in these conditions?

that being said, I've had better luck running the D's then the pro's
