Steve,

what do you think a good starting point would be using 7.5 and 6.5 novak ballistic using a spx and the punch set at 1 at iic race.

Hey Steve Type!


Hope you had a great day....see you in Vegas!

Steve Weiss

Hey Molina,

I would guess a 7.5 FDR for the 6.5 and probably a 6.5 for the 7.5!

Hey J type! Thanks man!

Looking forward to it for sure!

hey steve,
Do you know if
5908 sintered rotor will fit the balistic 5.5 motor?

I noticed the 5909 one says it does....


As My brand new never even been soldered to motor from tower has a bent shaft, i noticed it when setting gear mesh for the first time it goes tight loose prety badly, even with other new pinions also. and i really dont want to send it back as im in aus and it will take ages.

what a starting point for a ballistic 10.5 using a tekin RS pro with ESC advanced timing

Steve Weiss

Sorry to hear your rotor was not right in your motor!

The 5908 and 5909 rotors will fit the ballistic motors just fine!

I haven't played a lot with that ESC but I would estimate a 6.5 or so to start with.

If you have experience with an SS Pro 10.5 motor the gearing should be close to what you will end up gearing with the ballistic as they run very similar!

why my gtb 'locked rotor' light blinking?but its not locked when i pushed...

Hi Steve,

I saw rctvlives recent show with smart boost for one cell racing. My question is do we NEED to run one of those? What will happen if you dont? I think I will get one but was just wondering.

Steve Weiss

There could be a problem with one of the sensors in your motor or with one of the power phases in the ESC itself and either one of these could cause a locked rotor detection error code to come up when trying to accellerate your vehicle.

If you have an extra motor I'd try that out to try to see if it is the motor or the ESC. If the motor does not run, then you know the problem is somewhere in the ESC and should probably be sent in for service!

Most modern RC car electronics are designed to run off of a 6.0 V input... when you don't run with that input sometimes things still "work", but they do not work as intended... IE, things can go bad, the performance can suffer, or strange problems can occur. When running a booster circuit, you are supplying 6V to the ESC, the receiver, and the servo just as they were designed to use.

Steve, has the new Havoc 1s speedo shipped from Novak to all the dist.?

I looked at Tower and it says they have it on order and its due in mid-Oct. Is the the true delivery for the Havoc 1s for everyone? If I order one through OCRC how long would I have to wait?

Steve Weiss

The Havoc 1S controllers have not shipped yet, we are actually still waiting on supplies for them so I am thinking that the Mid-October expected date is pretty spot on.

Assuming OCRC puts their order in to their distributor right away it should only take a week or two after we ship to the distributors for the hobby shops to get them into stock!

Hi ya scuba

I flipped through few pages but can't find the answer.

what is a Mechanical timing value on the Novak 10.5 ss motor?
thanks

Steve Weiss

It should be set to right about 30 degrees!
