They were my first brushless motor and esc combo. It was cheaper then the rest especially for a sensored combo. It still works awesome. I also like that they have a trade in program where you trade in your motor or esc for something different at a discounted price. I would always consider them first when looking for something in the 1/10 scale realm. Castle is a similar price but none of their stuff is sensored. And tekin is really good stuff too but also really expensive too. For my money and bang for your buck, novak is where it's at.
