Guess who runs AKA tires on all the cars, Uses AKA tools (the ones they sell) and has shirts and hoddies? This Guy right here. LOL.
On the subject of this thread... Have anyone here own or owned one of the current models of Novak ESC's? ie. Pulse? I bought a Novak ESC back in 2009 I think it was a GTB and went bad within a week or so. But because I was in Afghanistan I never contacted them or anything. When I came back I heard that their stuff was garbage but apparently they have improved their quality. Any input on the Novak Pulse?
I have both a pulse and sc pro . The pulse is very nice with tons of features and onboard programming. I don't like the feel of it , and I don't like the programming steps you have to go through to run boost and turbo timing . Its a lot of button holding and light counting . The newest has a programmer. The esc was used when I got it , in 1 stadium truck , 2 2wd buggies , and 2 4wd buggies before I sold it to a guy who has a season on it in his 2wd with no issues.
The sc pro has been in a stadium truck , a 4wd buggy , and currently lives in a axial wraith. I keep for a back up for my current 4wd buggy. Its fine , no issues and its also used. Both of the novaks have a larger foot print than advertised because of the huge external cap and the overhang on the esc board itself. I also hate the separate switch , and fan plug BS. Good esc if you have the space and don't make changes etc... but every other esc I own is smoother and easier to own .
