I was wondering what the best brushless system for the money is. I am only racing a couple times a month and my skill level is not high. Need a 17.5 system for CORR class at my local track. Thinking of the Novac system for $150. Is that a good one or is there a better one out there for the money?

i just got the havok 3s and 10.5 motor i will let you know how it runs and installs later today

You'll get a ton of opinions on this. In the end there are a bunch of systems that will work, I see nothing wrong with Novak and they have excellent CS.

I personally dont care for Novak stuff, but lots of guys swear by them and they compete well with everyone else. I recommend you check out the Hobbywing stuff at Hobbypartz.com. Its very cheap and does not have much for customer service, but they have proven to be reliable and competitive. If you like them be sure to pick up the programming card for a few extra bucks, it makes tuning your speed control very easy. The EZRun 60A ESC and 17.5T motor are the best deal you can get for the money in my opinion.

We just added this to our store---a great system to get you started:

RMF Havoc 2S Club Brushless Combo - 17.5T

Novak, you have a pm.

do the novak i have that same system in my kyosho usc its senserd and hangs with all the truck the hobbywing stuff isnt that cheap after the shipping shoot for a 100 buck you wont find a system better then that

Money seems to be a concern, so look at the options for a great ESC then upgrade the motor as you come into some more funds. I have the LRP sphere and it is a great easy to use product. It is super expensive but you have a ton of flexibility on motor options later, plus LRP has some direct pricing on their BL motors.
