I checked into a LRP before the GTB. It seems I found guys with problems with the LRP. So that is why I went with Novak.
Good luck on getting one that works out of the box.
Thanks dodgeguy, I read the whole thread on the NOVAK Brushless system. Seems there were a few that had problems just as you've described. There's always gonna be a few with some sort of defects because of premature failure of faulty electronic components. I quess what I should have asked was how does it perform on the track? That's what I'm really looking for.
