I am happy to report I like the motor.

I started with a ballistic 17.5 closed end bells, and a epoxy stator with copper wire and standard rotor. This was a good set up but I was noticing at times my car would go flat with two minuets to go.

I switched to the new motor for the 2nd qualifier. This was a full Novak build with vented end bells and standard red wire stator and standard rotor. Temps were about the same with both motors, 160 +/- some. I only got three full runs on this motor today but it was strong to the end.

Details:
Rubber tire sedan
75 foot back strait to full sweeper. Open flowing track, lap times 9.4-9.8
geared @ 3.8
30 degrees static timing
Novak Edge speed controller

Snowy.
