novak to brushed chart
 

Does anyone know of a chart that converts a novak motor to a brushed motor? I have a 17.5 and will be getting another system with the 8.5 motor.

There is no real brushed to brushless chart that I know of..they don't exactly compare but 17.5/27t and 13.5/19t are the most common. Other than that I don't know. It's not exactly like comparing apples to apples, it's more like granny smith vs. red delicious:D

Which 8.5???? the EX motors are crap!!! Stay away.;)

Is the EX the one with the gold ring that comes with the base 8.5? If so that was the one i was looking at. How is it junk?

If the base model isnt worth the money, then i may look into the havoc 3s with the 8.5. My only concern is that I am not sure if the 3s is roar legal.

We discontinued the EX motor series (w/bonded rotors) last year. All SS Pro motors and the 8.5 motor in the Havoc Sport system have sintered rotors. So they are not "junk".

The motor in the Havoc3S/Ballistic 8.5 system is ROAR approved. Using 3S lipos in ROAR-sanctioned events is not allowed, but the Havoc 3S esc can be used with a 2S pack.

Yes I meant the ones with the gold band. They had bonded rotors which ran hot so even though it was an 8.5 you couldn't gear it like the rest. They were a budget motor so just not a quality piece IMO. I'm a Novak guy but those WERE "junk" IMO:D
