It will work BUT Novak went under a few months back. So there is ZERO tech support and such. Next question is what 4wd SCT platform are you planning to run? IF you choose a TLR or Tekno, you will have to go with another ESC. Personally, I run 4wd SCT. TLR SCTE 2.0 with Ballistic 550 4.5T mated to a Hobbywing 120A V2.1 ESC.
