Well that's a load of horse manure if ever I've read some. I burnt up a new 13.5 motor with my LRP Sphere ESC that was not modded in any way and was set only for Brake and Throttle. Nothing special. If their ESC's are that fragile and their Motors burn up for no apparent reason, it leads me to believe their quality is not very good across the board.

I've been soldering all sorts of things with my dad since I was 8 or 9 years old and I'm quite skilled at it. I use to do the modchips for the original Playstations and the PS2's and I've done Mod controllers for PS3 and Xbox as well as change controller boards on high-end hard drives when they've crapped out , I've replaced chips on motherboards and logic boards and I'd venture to say those are all much more sophisticated electronics that are considerably more sensitive to improper soldering methods and extreme temperatures.

I've soldered many ESC's and Motors over the years and I have yet to have anything outside of Novak fry up. On top of that Novak's customer service policies are among the worst in the industry which is perplexing because they claim to be one of the best and as such they should stand by their products. Instead, they offer to "try" and help so long as you throw money at the problem.

Thanks, but I'll stick with brands that my experience tells me are not only more durable, but also offer excellent customer support and stand by their customers.


As you can see, my work is meticulous and clean and the amount of solder is minimal, as it should be. No rookie hack jobs for me. In my experience, Novak just isn't as high quality as they claim and that's that.
