It's good to see some people who are willing to spend some time mounting their electronics instead of just putting the receiver up on the servo (or topdeck ). Nice mounting jobs guys. I'm going to put up some pictures hopefully tomorrow or thursday so you can see how i wired the brushed motor into the GTB.
As for the GTB studdering and stuff with the 4.5, I'm guessing it's only under acceleration? If so it's probably because it's drawing so many amps that there's not enough power for the rx to operate properly. You could try either running a receiver pack or putting one of those little rx caps (like the MuchMore ones) on your rx and see if that helps, I'm guessing it should.

We spoke to HEI (the aust distributer for novak) and they said that the Novak 4.5R doesnt work with 40Mhz radio gear!
what the ?
I run a 5.5R system with my EX-10 helios 40Mhz system no problem, and also with DSM, no problem...
hrmmm very strange that just running the 4.5R with 40Mhz has these issues?

Dont bother dealing with HEI they wont give you useful information. Charlie has told me that they have had some issues with 40 meg, i assume the noise generated by the extra load of the 4.5 causes more problems with 40 than other signals.
Try the above and see if you can get it working properly.

Mine is a lot quieter than a brushed motor - it's pretty much silent all I can here is tyre noise and maybe the transmission and the car whistling through the air at speed.....so I'd say something is mechanically up with either the motor or your car's transmission.

Also put 2 ferrite rings on the motor wires, and 1 on the neg power wire. Ran it on Sunday without a problem. Only thing now the wiring looks very ugly.

Hey Brad, again chuck a cap into your reciever. I was lucky that i got two caps in a box with a second hand car, so i put on one of the caps with a set of spare servo leads, and it solved the problem totally. before the cap, i found that if i used the throttle up to about half throttle, the car was fine. as soon as i got heavy on the gas, the steering would lock and id have no response from the radio. I put the cap on, and i was slamming the gas on my 10 pan. Didnt have to move a thing. Ive read up a little on running caps. seems to be a big problem on the LRP brushless, so tried it and it totally worked for my car.

Kidrobot:
What is happening is that everytime you do a one touch setup on the ESC, it returns the ESC to profile 1 (the default profile)
So, do this:
Do a one touch setup just to make sure that your radio settings are all fine.
Full end points, no exponential, etc.
Then, once you finish with the one touch setup, THEN change the profile to profile #2 or #5.

The best way I have found to run brushless and brushed is soldering a battery bar to the neg tab of the brushed motor for more soldering room. If you do it that way your wires will reach both setups and its very clean.
