Default brakes????????????

any info is helpful. does all the novak 3.5 and 4.5s has weak full trigge3r brakes. i have a 3pk radio and a 3.5 and 4.5r system and the touring cars won't stop in their tracks if i want them to. the radio brakes is maxed out and i'm set at 10 on the cost drag brake. 100 foot straights come very fast, but have to use the last 1/4 to slow down enough to make a 90 degree turn on a 10 foot wide lane without smacking the pipe. got a 6900 mamba and man does it have brakes. WOW!

are you using a Novak speedo? The problems you are describing is what most of the LRP guys around my track have stated. The brakes faded in the heat for some of them. I didn't have this problem with the GTB. The speedo info would help a little.

It could be a speedo thing as well, the brakes on my GTB SS are better than the brakes on my normal GTB. Take note that the normal GTB is over 6 months old.

i am in the process of getting another brushless setup and cannot decide between a Novak GTB with 4.5R motor and LRP TC Spec and 4.5T motor? which is the better system and why?

does the Novak 4.5 motor in the NOV3001 system come with a sintered rotor??

Default LRP 13.5 motor compatability ????

Hi Guys,

I know some guys are running the LRP 13.5 with the GTB speedy.

Does anyone know whether the LRP wiring harness will plug straight into the GTB ... or is moodification required ??

Thanks

Hey guys, quick questions here...

Can I setup the GTB brushless system while the wires for the brushless motors (the three colored wires) are connected? Or should I disconnect the wires first and the brushless sensor harness? There is no stated in the manual that I should not connect the wires from esc to BL motor but the sensor harness, yes...

Yea, I'm doing it too. LRP 13.5 with Novak GTB, no problems at all. At least the manufacturers are on the same page in that regard.
