Ran my truck last night, the truck was pretty dialed ran times roughly a full second faster than a local tekno sponsored driver. My truck is back to stock 553, 27.5 all around, #3 and #4 pistons, front camber locations is in the inner lower location, and rear camber link is b is lower outer position. I have a slight over steer on exit of the turn, its really noticeable on 180 turn. What could i adjust to get it a bit more tight on exit. Camberlink adjustment?

Doing more shake-down runs w/my 2.0, and burned up a new Novak Havoc Pro SC w/x-drive. Using a Novak 4.5t 550, 14/40 pinion/spur.
Anyone else out there ran this setup? Had any problems? Is this a marginal application (even tho the ESC is rated for that motor)? Is it just my bad luck?

That said, every ESC and motor out there has failure issues. Contact Novak customer service, they will help you out.

I used to love Novak electronics till I bought the Havoc Pro system and the ESC smoked on me 3 different times ! Once on the bench right after I plugged it in ! The other 2 lasted a few weeks and then started to shut off on their own and act erratically .
When they work the Novak ESC's are great but how long will they work is the question . Good thing is their CS is decent so they will probably replace it , but good CS is of little comfort IMO if you are missing races witing for a repair .

Thanks for the info. I'm going to have to pay the $75 for a replacement from Novak (ESC was new, but ran out of warranty sitting on my bench). If it keeps burning up, I'll upgrade. I run the same ESC in my SC10 (2wd) with no problems, but that is a much less rigorous application.

That said, if you do have to upgrade, you may want to consider the Pulse or the Activ8. I run the Activ8 in my SCTE now. With both you get more tuning options and a more robust BEC. You can also ask the. About the super tuner upgrade for the Havok Pro - which i have as well - that gives you everything the Pulse has except Extra Timing - which you probably don't need.
What i like about the Activ8 over the smaller ESCs is - you don't need to run a fan, and if you choose to run the fan, it's more robust than the small units on the Havok and Pulse. I had many times lost the fan from my Havok in the SCTE - which then overheats and shuts down. I'm sure you can also secure the fan on with wire or bigger screws as well

I would say call them up first - you may be surprised.

Moving the hubs forward would allow more weight transfer to the rear wheels when under power, thereby increasing on-power rear traction. It's an easy adjustment that can be reversed if it doesn't do what you want. Alternatively, a lower camber link position on the rear tower should increase rear traction too. Maybe a combination of both, but I'd try them one at a time first.
