NOVAK Brushless
 
Hi guys, I know charlie is on here quite a bit and a few of the other Novak dudes so just a quick query as I am a Novak fan, are they looking at bringing out a new brushless ESC to replace or upgrade from the GTB, something a little smaller and somewhat " easier on the eye" :)

It would be great to have a smaller system that, in my situation, fits comfortably in a XX4 or even XXX4.

SO whats the scoop, any plans?

haha thats hilarious! so that would be a no then! :)

if a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

Funny. So can I hijack the thread since nobody responded? :lol:

I'm looking for Charlie too... want to know if I should send in an old original SS5800 system for repair or if it's not worth it. (how much $$ for repair??)

Seriously, if it's going to cost quite a bit like I've seen in the past I would rather use it as a paper weight and pick up a used newer esc.

My SS still tries to work, but it has a weird erratic and stuttering throttle and not much power. Seems to be the esc not motor.

of course dude, it can be an "unofficial" novak thread hahaha

are you using spektrum?

When I ran my XX4 with a GTB I never had any issue with fitting the ESC in the chassis. you can email charlie at [email protected] for more info.

nice one! were you running the cells at max forward though or the older style rear mounted?

BuggyKing 09-19-2007 09:54 PM

i ran mine up forward for better weight distribution.

BuggyKing 09-19-2007 09:55 PM

glassdoctor 09-19-2007 10:12 PM

I should post a link to Charlie's unicorn video... that would get him in here. :nod:

BuggyKing 09-19-2007 10:39 PM
