Those Novak 550 ballistic 4.5 and 5.5 winds are sick. Bum will back me up my heavy as a brick slash 4x4 would wheelie down the straights if i goosed it. It would flip over backwards if i didn't put the center diff in and detuned it to put the power on the ground.

I ran a 550 balistic in my jammin as a sclm and was actually slower than my stock slash was as an sclm. The velineon system was way faster actually. Sean and i both had lots of issues with our electronics trying to run the 550 motors. They draw a lot of current which overheats the esc and makes it thermal.

Well believe it or not it is a fact. I didnt have the best of the best RX8. And both times i raced my slash in oval i dominated the day. That was not the case with the Jammin and the 550 set up. Bigger and best doesnt mean you will be faster than a well set up car. But, i was also running a 4x4. These guys and gals are running sub 6 second laps with 2wd 540 set ups!
