Default Novak or Castle

New to the Electric Buggy class, I need to have some people sound off what is the best "by opinion of course" 1/8 that is ROAR Approved and qaulity>

I would rather spend the extra money - I believe you get what you pay for
in most cases that is. I have seen many problems with the Tekin electronics
and not sure why and as far as the Chinese if the wiring is like a power supply for PCs ---Would not use it if you gave it me

We do not offer motors that have been approved for ROAR-sanctioned 1:8 racing.

Castle is probably the best bang for the buck. Ive used the Novaks in monster trucks and they run very good. Lots of torque, but i think they will only handle 4s vs Castle will take 6s. Plus Castle has the USB programing, super easy and fast.

I am partial too Castle Creations , I have never had a problem with their ESC's and motors . And their motors are based on the NUE1515 series (arguably the best in R/C IMO) .

Novak and Tekin are also great and I have their systems in some of my other cars .
