To be fair to Novak, my first brushless combo was a GTB and Velocity 5.5 took it out first run the sensor wire broke at the plug (before the sensor wires were separate units) I recall the store owner having to fight tooth and nail with the distributor (or at least thats what they told me) in Australia to get it warrantied, it took 3 weeks for them to begrudgingly give me one by which time I'd gone back to a brushed set up. That was 4 or 5 years ago and since that experience I have not bought a Novak item since.
I had basically the same thing happen, but in my case the store owner was a close personal friend. Have never bought Novak since.
