Legally all you have to do is change 1 small thing on any design and it would not be copying...Losi would just have to change a screw, and its a "new" design. Its what's inside the counts and where the real differences are apparent.
Not saying Losi is actually "copying" Novak's GTB, though

I have a gtb and i have a xcelerin esc coming to me , once i get it i will completely take apart both esc and see how they compare inside and out

I know Larry has run his with an SP 10.5 since he was waiting for his Losi 10.5 and it worked just fine. Any sensored motor will work just fine too.

I don't know where the Losi motor is made, but the Novak and Hacker are made by entirely different companies across the planet from one another. Aside from the unfortunate use of purple, and fixed sensor harnesses, they're completely different motors. They just share the same lack of style.

As opposed to being the exact same motor, like the SpeedPassion, Orion, Trinity, etc? :-D

I've got a Losi System (ESC/Motor) on the way, and will tear down the motor to see it they are Novak pieces. If the Hacker e40 are different, I apologize, I read somewhere that they are Novak sourced. I will get a Hacker e40 13.5 on the way to find out as soon as I can find one available.
Who knows on the Losi, but definitely take some pics when you tear it down. I'm curious to see the rotor, especially.

How does the losi 10.5 motor compare to the Novak 10.5 motor? I see that the Losi has a lower KV rating. I'm looking to use it in a xxx-t MF2.

What are you smoking? 
The Losi ESC looks just like a Novak GTB (other than the colors), and is probably made by the people making Novak. The only similarity to Feigao is that they are programmable with an external handheld unit. The actual programmer and process is completely unique to the Losi ESC, for now....
As for the motors, they sure look identical other than the colors, removable plug, and smooth end-bells. We will know as soon as someone tears one down for us.
Look, I don't think anyone has a problem that Losi and Novak have some sort of secret partnership. I've never had a Novak ESC fail on me, and the GTB was very reliable. Novak's Brushless motors are very tough too. I'm so happy that about this that I bought a Losi system. Should have it tomorrow, and I will tear down the motor.
