I will be testing out the 4 Cell GTB in my RDX with 6 Cells and a Hacker 17.5 Brushless Motor tomorrow (weather permitting? )
I put the heatsink from my XBR esc on it as well as a fan just to be on the safe side.
Emailed Steve at Novak about this and he said it should work fine with the heatsink on there.

I'm running a 4 cell GTB in my Tamiya Mini without any problems. As previously mentioned, heat is the enemy. I run the bag off the thing, and it never even gets warm, nevermind hot.
The word I got from Novak, and others, is that the 4 cell is the same ESC as the 6 cell, but without the heat sink.

Well our race got rained out so I only got one run in with my 4cell GTB in my RDX running 6 cell and Hacker 17.5.
It ran smooth and was a nice improvement over my XBR esc
The motor ran cooler at around 160 and the esc was around 115.
Will most likely be keeping it in my RDX for now.

I've run up to a 13.5 in offroad with a 4 cell GTB on LiPo without any problems. If you want to run a mild modified you'll need to have a fan blowing across the speedo but it works fine all the way to a 7.5 turn.

One other thing to watch with the 4 cell is....If you are running a lipo is to not let it go below 6.0 volts. The 4 cell does not have the cutoff in it.
