4 cell GTB
I am thinking of getting a novak 4cell GTB and I plan on using it in my 12th scale with a single cell smc 4000. Has this been a good choice for some of you? what are the ups and downs

It will work and one of the ups is that a booster or rec pack is not required, although you will see the servo get a bit slugish toward the end of the run without one. One big downside is that the esc is outdated and has no advanced timing abilities like the LRP or Tekin. The amount of disadvantage will depend on the skill levels and size of your home track.

When will we be seeing a new Novak product that will offer adjustable timing? I will most likely use my 4 cell GTB for the time being, but would really like to see a comparable product to Tekin and LRP with adjustable timing. I am overgearing my 1/12 while others are undergearing due to the adjustable timing. In the end I can take a win, but have no punch at all in the last 2 minutes of the run.
